1
00:00:14,184 --> 00:00:16,064
Go on.

2
00:00:20,384 --> 00:00:22,304
Out you go!

3
00:00:39,304 --> 00:00:41,264
(BEEPS)

4
00:01:07,824 --> 00:01:10,544
Did you put the alarm on?
Of course I did.

5
00:01:12,944 --> 00:01:14,984
Did you check the back door?

6
00:01:14,984 --> 00:01:16,864
Yes.

7
00:02:02,744 --> 00:02:04,824
Darling...

8
00:02:04,824 --> 00:02:07,984
while you're up, I think I left
my water on the dressing table.

9
00:02:15,184 --> 00:02:17,104
Thank you, darling.

10
00:02:17,384 --> 00:02:19,264
Don't I get a goodnight kiss?

11
00:02:23,864 --> 00:02:27,144
Mm...come back to bed!

12
00:02:28,424 --> 00:02:31,064
What are you talking about?

13
00:02:31,064 --> 00:02:32,944
I am in bed!

14
00:02:34,504 --> 00:02:36,424
(SCREAMS)

15
00:03:11,664 --> 00:03:13,584
Go on, go on!

16
00:03:17,424 --> 00:03:19,344
(CAR ALARM)

17
00:03:23,024 --> 00:03:24,944
Go on!

18
00:03:48,984 --> 00:03:51,544
Er, next, Freddy's birthday.

19
00:03:51,544 --> 00:03:53,984
We'll have drinks in the Yellow Room
before dinner.

20
00:03:53,984 --> 00:03:56,824
Tell Missus Cox beef, our beef,
as bloody as she likes.

21
00:03:56,824 --> 00:03:59,344
What about Tallis?
You know she doesn't eat meat.

22
00:04:00,504 --> 00:04:03,424
Well, she can eat vegetables then,
can't she?

23
00:04:03,424 --> 00:04:05,464
I want Freddy on my right,
Isobel on my left,

24
00:04:05,464 --> 00:04:07,424
the girls as far away from me
as possible...

25
00:04:07,424 --> 00:04:09,344
and the rest, I leave up to you.

26
00:04:35,624 --> 00:04:37,824
Race you to the Dower House!
Don't you dare.

27
00:04:38,944 --> 00:04:41,824
Wuss! If she wants to break her leg
that's her business.

28
00:05:09,424 --> 00:05:11,424
Go away, Rupert.

29
00:05:11,424 --> 00:05:13,624
I'm not in the mood for you today.

30
00:05:13,624 --> 00:05:15,704
I'll give you a back massage.
No.

31
00:05:17,344 --> 00:05:19,224
Get off my bed, you're a servant.

32
00:05:20,944 --> 00:05:23,144
It's not appropriate.

33
00:05:23,144 --> 00:05:25,784
I love you too (!)
Be gone!

34
00:05:59,344 --> 00:06:01,504
Happy birthday, Freddy!

35
00:06:07,424 --> 00:06:09,504
Happy birthday, Freddy!

36
00:06:09,504 --> 00:06:11,664
Hop in, meeting at 10:00.

37
00:06:11,664 --> 00:06:14,304
See you at dinner, Isobel.
Jack?

38
00:06:14,304 --> 00:06:16,424
Can I ask a favour?

39
00:06:16,424 --> 00:06:20,384
Anything for you. David Roper
is staying for a couple of days.

40
00:06:20,384 --> 00:06:23,104
Can we bring him this evening?
Oh, God...

41
00:06:23,104 --> 00:06:24,984
Well, he is Freddy's godfather.

42
00:06:25,984 --> 00:06:28,144
And you know what
happened last year.

43
00:06:28,144 --> 00:06:31,264
Yes, and David was mortified.
He hasn't had a drink since.

44
00:06:31,264 --> 00:06:33,144
I'll believe that when I see it.

45
00:06:37,024 --> 00:06:38,904
Go on, then. Bring him if you must.

46
00:06:38,904 --> 00:06:41,104
Oh, thanks, Jack. Really.

47
00:06:41,104 --> 00:06:43,344
Tallis! Get that animal
out of the way!

48
00:06:43,344 --> 00:06:45,264
Bye, Daddy.

49
00:06:55,104 --> 00:06:57,024
Morning.

50
00:06:59,744 --> 00:07:03,504
I'll never get used to that man
careering up and down our drive.

51
00:07:04,544 --> 00:07:06,584
Well, it's his drive now, Mummy.

52
00:07:06,584 --> 00:07:08,624
Have some breakfast.

53
00:07:08,624 --> 00:07:10,824
You're the twelfth baronet, Will,

54
00:07:10,824 --> 00:07:13,464
and the first not to live
at Chettham Park House.

55
00:07:13,464 --> 00:07:16,064
'Adapt and survive',
that's the name of the game.

56
00:07:16,064 --> 00:07:19,304
Say what you like, that man
turned us out of our home.

57
00:07:19,304 --> 00:07:22,544
Saved our bacon, more like. Jack's
been a very good friend to us.

58
00:07:23,744 --> 00:07:26,864
I'm sorry, darling. I had
such a beastly night...

59
00:07:27,704 --> 00:07:30,064
Every joint in my body was on fire.

60
00:07:31,464 --> 00:07:33,384
Get me my pills, will you?

61
00:07:34,584 --> 00:07:37,624
David Roper's coming to stay.
That should cheer you up.

62
00:07:37,624 --> 00:07:39,504
How lovely!

63
00:07:40,664 --> 00:07:42,784
David will buck things up
around here.

64
00:07:42,784 --> 00:07:44,624
Mm.

65
00:07:44,624 --> 00:07:46,544
Not too much, I hope.

66
00:07:49,264 --> 00:07:52,544
It wouldn't keep a child out,
nevermind The Creeper.

67
00:07:52,544 --> 00:07:55,544
Joyce, I have told you, The Creeper

68
00:07:55,544 --> 00:07:59,344
goes for big houses in the country,
stuffed with jewellery and antiques.

69
00:07:59,344 --> 00:08:02,384
Not semi's in Causton with
a couple of tacky prints.

70
00:08:02,384 --> 00:08:05,984
He creeps into people's bedrooms,
Tom. When they're asleep.

71
00:08:05,984 --> 00:08:07,864
(DOOR BELL)

72
00:08:08,344 --> 00:08:10,584
See? It's perfect...

73
00:08:10,584 --> 00:08:12,384
Hi.
Morning.

74
00:08:12,384 --> 00:08:14,384
It's absolutely fine...oh...

75
00:08:16,824 --> 00:08:18,744
Address your remarks
to that young man.

76
00:08:18,744 --> 00:08:21,144
He's supposed to be investigating
The Creeper.

77
00:08:23,144 --> 00:08:26,664
Missus Barnaby would like to know
why you haven't caught him yet?

78
00:08:27,984 --> 00:08:30,224
Well, she's not the only one.

79
00:08:30,224 --> 00:08:32,584
What's happened?
The Chief Constable's been done.

80
00:08:33,784 --> 00:08:35,904
By The Creeper?
Looks like it.

81
00:08:35,904 --> 00:08:38,304
I've just come from his house,
it's like Fort Knox.

82
00:08:38,304 --> 00:08:41,224
Oh, dear.
Tom! It's not funny.

83
00:08:41,224 --> 00:08:45,304
No, it's not. He's got forensics
all over the place like a rash.

84
00:08:45,304 --> 00:08:47,624
Everyone's sworn to secrecy,
of course.

85
00:08:47,624 --> 00:08:50,424
You can imagine how paranoid
he is about security.

86
00:08:50,424 --> 00:08:53,504
Yes, I can.
You're gonna love the next bit.

87
00:08:54,664 --> 00:08:56,904
There's more?

88
00:08:56,904 --> 00:09:00,824
The Chief Constable wants to see you
first thing tomorrow morning. Me?

89
00:09:00,824 --> 00:09:03,344
Apparently the case requires
'the delicate touch

90
00:09:03,344 --> 00:09:05,264
of an experienced senior officer.'

91
00:09:06,944 --> 00:09:08,824
Now, that is funny.

92
00:09:33,784 --> 00:09:36,624
ISOBEL: David, you look marvellous!

93
00:09:38,744 --> 00:09:41,664
Doesn't he look marvellous!
Positively glowing!

94
00:09:41,664 --> 00:09:44,344
Well, my body is a temple
these days.

95
00:09:44,344 --> 00:09:46,544
Somewhat battered...

96
00:09:46,544 --> 00:09:49,024
(YELLS IN EXCITEMENT)
Freddy!

97
00:09:49,624 --> 00:09:51,584
Happy birthday!

98
00:09:54,184 --> 00:09:56,864
How's capitalism?
Jack made you rich yet?

99
00:09:56,864 --> 00:09:59,744
Well, you know...
Yeah...Oh!

100
00:09:59,744 --> 00:10:02,464
Oh, the Lady Elizabeth!

101
00:10:02,464 --> 00:10:04,784
Thank God you're here, David.

102
00:10:04,784 --> 00:10:08,664
Now we'll have some fun. I'm as
dull as ditchwater these days.

103
00:10:08,664 --> 00:10:12,544
I doubt that very much! Talking of
which, isn't it time we had a drink?

104
00:10:12,544 --> 00:10:14,424
I'm gasping.

105
00:10:15,904 --> 00:10:17,824
Mineral water, you idiots.

106
00:10:19,704 --> 00:10:21,624
Come on!

107
00:10:23,064 --> 00:10:24,984
Here you are, you lucky people.

108
00:10:25,864 --> 00:10:32,024
Advance copies, personally inscribed
by the real author, ie, me.

109
00:10:32,024 --> 00:10:35,024
So this is THE Harry Godbolt book
then, is it?

110
00:10:35,024 --> 00:10:37,744
I've ghosted pop stars, footballers,

111
00:10:37,744 --> 00:10:40,384
but gangsters are the vainest
of the lot, believe me.

112
00:10:40,384 --> 00:10:42,464
Bit of a coup getting this,
wasn't it?

113
00:10:42,464 --> 00:10:44,744
Godbolt remembered me
from the old days.

114
00:10:44,744 --> 00:10:48,264
'The old days'? Used to gatecrash
all our parties at the gallery.

115
00:10:48,264 --> 00:10:50,424
Ghastly man.

116
00:10:50,424 --> 00:10:53,264
Oh, it was chic then!
To have a tame gangster in tow.

117
00:10:54,224 --> 00:10:56,544
Oh, there's a great photo!

118
00:10:57,824 --> 00:10:59,784
(HUMS)

119
00:11:00,024 --> 00:11:03,544
Here. Taken at the
opening night party.

120
00:11:03,544 --> 00:11:05,424
(LAUGHTER)

121
00:11:08,664 --> 00:11:10,584
PHOTOGRAPHER: Thank you.

122
00:11:11,904 --> 00:11:15,144
OK, one more. This way, this way,
darling. One more photo.

123
00:11:15,144 --> 00:11:16,984
Lovely...

124
00:11:17,584 --> 00:11:19,784
Isn't that like the one
in your bedroom?

125
00:11:19,784 --> 00:11:22,544
Yes. Minus Godbolt, thank God.

126
00:11:22,544 --> 00:11:24,984
(LAUGHS)
Probably rushed off to rob a bank.

127
00:11:24,984 --> 00:11:28,864
Of course...the book
is complete tosh.

128
00:11:29,944 --> 00:11:32,624
(CLEARS THROAT) He died
in the prison hospital...

129
00:11:32,624 --> 00:11:36,104
before we got onto his first murder,
so I had to make the rest up.

130
00:11:36,104 --> 00:11:38,904
Isn't it about time you wrote
a proper book, David?

131
00:11:38,904 --> 00:11:41,464
Yes, and that's exactly
what I plan to do.

132
00:11:41,464 --> 00:11:43,904
And...I've had an idea.

133
00:11:43,904 --> 00:11:46,824
Clever you.

134
00:11:46,824 --> 00:11:50,024
How marvellous it must be
to have an idea.

135
00:11:51,224 --> 00:11:53,904
I am going to write a book about us.

136
00:11:55,104 --> 00:11:57,224
About us?
Us.

137
00:11:57,224 --> 00:12:00,424
I mean, look what happened
to our old gang.

138
00:12:00,424 --> 00:12:03,664
Cabinet ministers,
artists, film stars...

139
00:12:03,664 --> 00:12:05,624
masters of the universe!

140
00:12:05,624 --> 00:12:07,824
Look at Jack Filby.

141
00:12:07,824 --> 00:12:10,144
It didn't quite happen
for all of us, David.

142
00:12:10,144 --> 00:12:14,664
Aw, you were a trailblazer, Will.

143
00:12:14,664 --> 00:12:17,464
The gallery, the magazine,
the record label.

144
00:12:17,464 --> 00:12:19,304
Which all went bust.

145
00:12:19,304 --> 00:12:21,464
David's right, Dad.
You had the ideas,

146
00:12:21,464 --> 00:12:24,664
you just didn't have the luck.
Exactly, Freddy.

147
00:12:24,664 --> 00:12:26,904
Anyway, that's my idea.

148
00:12:26,904 --> 00:12:32,104
An in-depth portrait of a generation
that changed the way we live.

149
00:12:33,024 --> 00:12:35,264
And I am going to pitch it
at Jack tonight.

150
00:12:36,144 --> 00:12:38,584
He's bought up all these publishers,
hasn't he?

151
00:12:38,584 --> 00:12:42,264
Jack may not be too keen on
having the past raked up.

152
00:12:42,264 --> 00:12:44,464
He's a public figure now, David.

153
00:12:44,464 --> 00:12:47,344
Oh, don't worry.
I won't tread on any toes.

154
00:12:48,264 --> 00:12:51,464
And anyway, Jack's always been
a bit of a maverick at heart.

155
00:12:51,464 --> 00:12:53,664
I've got a good feeling about this.

156
00:12:53,664 --> 00:12:56,544
This is the one that's going
to turn things around for me.

157
00:12:57,424 --> 00:12:59,344
Well...let's hope so, David.

158
00:13:11,544 --> 00:13:13,464
TALLIS: No, don't be greedy.

159
00:13:16,104 --> 00:13:18,104
DOCTOR GORING: Got a brace of
partridge

160
00:13:18,104 --> 00:13:20,624
in Curate's Wood this morning,
Jack. Murderer.

161
00:13:20,624 --> 00:13:22,504
What was that, dear?

162
00:13:22,504 --> 00:13:23,784
Nothing.

163
00:13:25,184 --> 00:13:28,864
Laid my hands on a Picasso etching
you may be interested in, Will.

164
00:13:28,864 --> 00:13:32,024
From the Vollard suite.
Ah, sorry, Hugo.

165
00:13:32,024 --> 00:13:34,144
Totally broke, 'comme toujours.'

166
00:13:37,864 --> 00:13:39,184
Erm...

167
00:13:40,784 --> 00:13:43,904
How lovely it is to be here,
surrounded by one's oldest

168
00:13:43,904 --> 00:13:46,464
and most trusted friends.

169
00:13:46,464 --> 00:13:48,624
Freddy's birthday has become...

170
00:13:49,784 --> 00:13:52,384
..a bit of a ritual, a chance
for us all to get together,

171
00:13:52,384 --> 00:13:55,264
but there is a special reason
to celebrate tonight.

172
00:13:55,264 --> 00:13:59,064
As you know, Freddy has been working
for me for three years now

173
00:13:59,064 --> 00:14:02,064
and...he's a credit

Er, I just wanted to thank
everyone for coming

191
00:15:04,024 --> 00:15:06,424
and to thank Jack
for this lovely party

192
00:15:06,424 --> 00:15:09,104
and the terrific opportunity
that he's given me.

I think that everyone
here has experienced

at one time or another.

So once again, thank you, Jack.

the mutual back-slapping.

to the horses, Daddy.

Listen, Jack -
Shut up! Rupert, that'll be all!

Of course, I'll be completely
discreet. Don't believe you.

The only reason to
write a book like that

221
00:17:40,184 --> 00:17:42,304
is salacious gossip and innuendo.

No! No, Jack, this is the
portrait of a generation!

Oh, nonsense!
You are a muck-raking hack, David.

I want nothing to do with it,
end of discussion.

00:18:01,824 --> 00:18:04,184
All right. I will take it
somewhere else, then.

229
00:18:04,904 --> 00:18:09,144
(LAUGHS) Even better. I won't have
to be so discreet then, will I?

00:18:10,224 --> 00:18:12,104
Out. Now.

231
00:18:18,864 --> 00:18:21,624

wasn't it? A drink.

He'd been drinking heavily,
according to the Chetthams.

Why don't the Chetthams
live up at the big house?

and The Creeper shuts him up.

00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,560
we assumed...he was sleeping it off.

347
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,560
Where'd he been? We'd all been
at the house, Inspector.

348
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,520
It was my birthday yesterday
and Jack threw a small party.

349
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,680
Jack?
Jack Filby. He lives at the house.

350
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:13,040
He owns it. He owns the estate,
he owns this house and he owns us!

351
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,880
Please, Grandma...

352
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,920
Jack's an old friend, Inspector.

353
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,800
Er, my son works for him.

354
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,480
So, you'd all been to a party
at Chettham Park House,

355
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,560
but David Roper came back here
some time after the rest of you?

356
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,640
Actually...he left the party
before us.

357
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,400
I'm afraid he fell off the wagon
last night.

358
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,720
He was probably roaming the park
for a couple of hours.

359
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,960
So, the burglary took place after
you'd put Mister Roper to bed?

360
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,760
Yes.

361
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,520
I was still wearing my jewellery
when he turned up.

362
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,680
My God...

363
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,600
you don't think...he was
murdered...by the burglar?

364
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,040
In the circumstances...

365
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,080
I'm afraid we'll have to treat
his death as...suspicious.

366
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,680
Guess what?
We've been burgled, too!

367
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,560
Dad's incandescent...

368
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,600
What happened?

369
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,720
David's dead, Tallis.

370
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,120
Dead?

371
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,400
But I don't...I don't understand.

372
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,280
I don't understand...
It's OK, Tall...

373
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,160
(MOBILE PHONE RINGS)

374
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,200
I'm sorry.

375
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,520
Hello? Right.

376
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,040
Erm...I saw...

377
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,120
a couple of copies of this book
upstairs.

378
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,040
David's latest. He was a writer.

379
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,040
Er, it's Jack. Mister Filby.

380
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,120
He'd very much like to have a
word with you, up at the house.

381
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,840
You've been summoned, Inspector.

382
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,040
Better jump to it,
like the rest of us.

383
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,400
BARNABY: Very nice of Mister Filby
to give a party for you.

384
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,760
Hm. It's become a, sort of,
tradition over the years.

385
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,480
He was at university with Mum and
Dad, so I've known him all my life.

386
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,360
What about David Roper?
Yes, him too.

387
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,560
Actually, he's my godfather.

388
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,760
Was.

389
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,680
Incredibly nice man.

390
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,600
A little bit difficult at times,
but...

391
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,600
'Difficult'?

392
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,480
Well, when he was,
you know, drinking.

393
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,480
Any particular reason he fell
off the wagon last night?

394
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,400
Not that I know of.

395
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,400
I think he might have had a
slight altercation with Jack.

396
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,600
BARNABY: Any idea what about?

397
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,840
No, none whatsoever.
You'll have to ask Jack.

398
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,840
JACK: Here's a list of the watches,
with the serial numbers.

399
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,720
And a photograph of the etching.

400
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,720
We found a window open on
the top floor at the back.

401
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,320
So much for our state-of-the-art
security system.

402
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,480
Would you mind showing the er,
the sergeant that window?

403
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,400
Sure. This way.

404
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,120
So tell me about David Roper.

405
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,520
Yes, sir. Erm, police officers
investigating the break-in

406
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,040
at the Dower House found
his body in the guest room.

407
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,480
It appears that he died
during the night.

408
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,120
So it finally caught up with him,
eh?

409
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,200
What's the 'it', sir?

410
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,720
Drink, drugs. Whatever.

411
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,680
You name it, David snorted it,
drank it, smoked it.

412
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,720
Sorry, Freddy, it's true.

413
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,600
I...I know.

414
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,800
Did you have a disagreement
with Mister Roper last night?

415
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,000
Did I what? I mentioned that
you and David had words.

416
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,600
Well, there was a frank exchange
of opinions, yes.

417
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,320
I've recently moved into publishing

418
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,200
and he came to me with a
hare-brained proposal for a book.

419
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,440
Looking for a hand-out, basically.

420
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,960
What kind of book was that?
Oh, it was about us,

421
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,840
the old movers and shakers, our
generation, some nonsense like that.

422
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,600
You turned him down?
Yes, I did.

423
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,920
So he grabbed a bottle
of my best brandy

424
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,800
and flounced off into the night.

425
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,200
Look...I've been bailing David out
for years now.

426
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,080
Rehab, therapy, endless loans.

427
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,040
Money down the drain.

428
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,840
Last night my patience ran out
and...

429
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,440
Now of course I feel terrible.

430
00:32:47,998 --> 00:32:49,918
Must have got in through that.

431
00:32:51,318 --> 00:32:53,678
No prints anywhere, needless to say.

432
00:32:53,678 --> 00:32:55,558
Hell of a climb, though.

433
00:32:56,918 --> 00:33:00,038
I'll tell you what's interesting.
It's in a blind spot.

434
00:33:00,038 --> 00:33:02,918
Neither of those CCTV cameras
covers it.

435
00:33:02,918 --> 00:33:05,198
So, The Creeper had
done his homework...

436
00:33:06,318 --> 00:33:08,238
Looks like it.

437
00:33:10,318 --> 00:33:12,518
Well, we'll need names and addresses

438
00:33:12,518 --> 00:33:14,958
of everyone who was at the party
last night. OK, Jones?

439
00:33:14,958 --> 00:33:16,838
Yes, sir.

440
00:33:19,398 --> 00:33:21,598
No, I didn't hear them arguing.

441
00:33:21,598 --> 00:33:24,518
I went to say goodnight to the
horses, straight after dinner.

442
00:33:24,518 --> 00:33:26,438
Do you do that every night?
Of course.

443
00:33:26,438 --> 00:33:28,318
No-one else here worth talking to.

444
00:33:32,518 --> 00:33:34,638
Do you hunt?
Me? No.

445
00:33:34,638 --> 00:33:36,958
Or shoot, or fish?
Or anything like that?

446
00:33:36,958 --> 00:33:39,038
No.

447
00:33:39,038 --> 00:33:42,318
Then I'll show you something.
But you've got to keep it a secret.

448
00:33:44,158 --> 00:33:45,998
Come on, dogs.
(BARKING)

449
00:33:54,878 --> 00:33:57,598
I have to keep the dogs out.
Sid drives them mad.

450
00:34:02,518 --> 00:34:04,478
Stay.

451
00:34:05,678 --> 00:34:07,598
This is Sid.

452
00:34:10,638 --> 00:34:12,558
I rescued him from the hunt.

453
00:34:13,558 --> 00:34:16,118
I thought hunting was illegal.
Yeah, right(!)

454
00:34:18,838 --> 00:34:21,558
Who else knows about Sid?
Only Freddy.

455
00:34:21,558 --> 00:34:23,638
Dad would be really livid.

456
00:34:23,638 --> 00:34:26,558
Does your father hunt?
No, he doesn't have time.

457
00:34:26,558 --> 00:34:28,478
Sucks up to them if they're posh,
though.

458
00:34:28,478 --> 00:34:32,238
Lets them shoot and fish all over
the estate. Dad loves a bit of posh.

459
00:34:32,238 --> 00:34:34,758
Like the Chetthams?
Oh, he's known them forever.

460
00:34:36,238 --> 00:34:39,238
You and Freddy Chettham...are
you...?

461
00:34:40,558 --> 00:34:43,078
Oh, God, no. We couldn't.

462
00:34:43,078 --> 00:34:46,278
I mean, he's my best friend, we grew
up together. So, no, no way.

463
00:34:48,478 --> 00:34:50,398
Hello, Sid...

464
00:34:50,758 --> 00:34:52,678
Are you hungry? Are you?

465
00:34:53,918 --> 00:34:56,118
MARTHA: What do you want?

466
00:34:56,118 --> 00:34:59,718
What are you doing?
Keep your hands off me...

467
00:34:59,718 --> 00:35:01,598
(LAUGHING)

468
00:35:07,718 --> 00:35:10,318
I'm afraid I'm er, lost.
Me too.

469
00:35:11,238 --> 00:35:13,278
Metaphorically speaking, of course.

470
00:35:17,638 --> 00:35:20,118
I'm Detective Sergeant -
I know who you are.

471
00:35:22,238 --> 00:35:24,158
Sit down.

472
00:35:25,758 --> 00:35:30,518
Did you hear your father arguing
with David Roper last night?

473
00:35:31,598 --> 00:35:33,718
I heard Dad shouting at him, yes.

474
00:35:34,398 --> 00:35:36,758
It's no big deal,
Dad shouts at everybody.

475
00:35:36,758 --> 00:35:38,638
Except Golden Boy, of course.

476
00:35:39,278 --> 00:35:43,358
'Golden Boy'? Adorable Freddy(!)
Don't you find him adorable(?)

477
00:35:43,358 --> 00:35:45,558
Everyone does, you know.

478
00:35:45,558 --> 00:35:48,438
What about you.
Oh, I absolutely adore him(!)

479
00:35:49,318 --> 00:35:51,518
But then I would, wouldn't I?

480
00:35:51,518 --> 00:35:55,558
Why? By the way, me and Rupert,
there's nothing going on.

481
00:35:55,558 --> 00:35:57,958
I just...love teasing him.

482
00:35:59,038 --> 00:36:02,918
I'm not, ghastly phrase,
'in a relationship.'

483
00:36:04,398 --> 00:36:07,278
Sorry to hear that.
You should be pleased, surely?

484
00:36:10,038 --> 00:36:12,118
Did you have anything
stolen last night?

485
00:36:13,158 --> 00:36:15,278
Why, sergeant, what can you mean(?)

486
00:36:16,038 --> 00:36:17,958
Is that a double entendre?

487
00:36:21,998 --> 00:36:24,638
The blow to the head could
have stunned him momentarily

488
00:36:24,638 --> 00:36:27,358
but it certainly didn't kill him.
There are traces of bark,

489
00:36:27,358 --> 00:36:29,558
but he probably walked into a tree.

490
00:36:29,558 --> 00:36:32,718
And your suffocation theory
is looking a bit shaky, Tom.

491
00:36:32,718 --> 00:36:34,678
Is it? Why?

492
00:36:34,678 --> 00:36:36,478
Cos there's no deviation
to the nose,

493
00:36:36,478 --> 00:36:39,518
there's no bruising or any damage
to the mouth or lips.

494
00:36:39,518 --> 00:36:41,158
And you'd expect to
find either or both

495
00:36:41,158 --> 00:36:42,878
if the victim had been suffocated.

496
00:36:42,878 --> 00:36:44,838
He'd had a lot to drink, George.

497
00:36:45,758 --> 00:36:48,678
A bottle of brandy, at least.
And maybe he was so drunk

498
00:36:48,678 --> 00:36:51,918
he couldn't put up a struggle,
hence no damage to the face.

499
00:36:51,918 --> 00:36:53,998
When do we get the
toxicology report?

500
00:36:53,998 --> 00:36:56,038
Tomorrow, or the day after.
Whenever.

501
00:36:58,558 --> 00:37:01,718
Anyway, I'm going to open him up,
have a look at his ticker.

502
00:37:01,718 --> 00:37:03,678
Stay and watch the fun.
No, thank you.

503
00:37:09,198 --> 00:37:13,478
I see absolutely no reason why
our privacy should be invaded.

504
00:37:13,478 --> 00:37:16,278
It really is none of
the police's business.

505
00:37:16,278 --> 00:37:18,398
Or anyone else's.

506
00:37:18,398 --> 00:37:20,798
It's a private arrangement
between friends.

507
00:37:20,798 --> 00:37:25,278
I don't know...it just seems wrong!

508
00:37:25,278 --> 00:37:28,078
What with the police treating
David's death as suspicious -

509
00:37:28,078 --> 00:37:31,718
They're just being super cautious
because of the damned burglary.

510
00:37:31,718 --> 00:37:35,918
And it has absolutely nothing
to do with the family.

511
00:37:36,878 --> 00:37:39,078
Imagine the publicity.

512
00:37:39,078 --> 00:37:41,238
OK, but I'd really rather
not lie about it.

513
00:37:41,238 --> 00:37:43,758
Darling...no-one
is suggesting you lie.

514
00:37:44,798 --> 00:37:47,158
Discretion, Freddy. Not lying.

515
00:37:54,358 --> 00:37:56,318
OK.

516
00:37:57,278 --> 00:37:59,198
Discretion it is.

517
00:37:59,958 --> 00:38:01,878
Good boy.

518
00:38:18,278 --> 00:38:20,198
(KNOCK ON DOOR)

519
00:38:21,078 --> 00:38:23,158
No more patients this evening,
doctor.

520
00:38:23,158 --> 00:38:25,478
Thank you, Missus Painter.
See you tomorrow.

521
00:38:25,478 --> 00:38:27,238
Goodnight.
Night.

522
00:38:47,638 --> 00:38:49,518
(PHONE RINGS)

523
00:38:57,838 --> 00:38:59,918
SYLVIA: Dr Goring.

524
00:38:59,918 --> 00:39:01,798
Oh, hello.

525
00:39:04,998 --> 00:39:08,438
All right, but you'd better come up
with a jolly good suggestion!

526
00:39:09,998 --> 00:39:13,638
You don't seem to understand. If it
ever came out I could be struck off.

527
00:39:16,318 --> 00:39:18,998
No. Absolutely not.

528
00:39:18,998 --> 00:39:21,118
I simply cannot go on like this!

529
00:39:23,438 --> 00:39:26,958
I reckon Roper came this way.
There's cigar ash here and there,

530
00:39:26,958 --> 00:39:28,678
plus the odd footprint.

531
00:39:28,678 --> 00:39:30,758
He zig-zagged that-a-way...

532
00:39:30,758 --> 00:39:32,958
there's signs of a struggle.

533
00:39:32,958 --> 00:39:35,998
There's the empty brandy bottle
and a cigar butt here. Phil?

534
00:39:37,038 --> 00:39:38,918
Plus, a dirty great lump of wood.

535
00:39:42,238 --> 00:39:44,398
There.
Blood?

536
00:39:44,398 --> 00:39:47,438
I reckon.
So, Roper didn't walk into the tree.

537
00:39:48,438 --> 00:39:50,438
He got whacked over the head.

538
00:39:50,438 --> 00:39:52,518
There's soft ground here, look.

539
00:39:53,958 --> 00:39:58,038
The drag marks...go all the way down
to the Dower House.

540
00:39:59,958 --> 00:40:02,278
So...Roper staggers about...

541
00:40:03,118 --> 00:40:05,718
swigging his brandy,
gets bashed over the head.

542
00:40:06,358 --> 00:40:10,398
And some good samaritan hauls him
off down to the Dower House.

543
00:40:10,398 --> 00:40:12,598
But who, eh?

544
00:40:12,598 --> 00:40:15,158
Someone who followed him
from the big house?

545
00:40:15,998 --> 00:40:17,918
Maybe Roper bumped into The Creeper.

546
00:40:18,918 --> 00:40:22,078
He's full of brandy,
he's feeling brave, so he has a go.

547
00:40:22,078 --> 00:40:24,398
The Creeper grabs
a handy log...bosh!

548
00:40:25,998 --> 00:40:29,638
I don't think The Creeper is the
boshing type, Jones. (MOBILE RINGS)

549
00:40:32,478 --> 00:40:34,398
Jones.

550
00:40:35,918 --> 00:40:37,798
Oh...

551
00:40:39,718 --> 00:40:41,758
Right. OK.

552
00:40:43,358 --> 00:40:45,558
Yeah, thanks.

553
00:40:45,558 --> 00:40:47,598
There's been another break-in, sir.
Hm?

554
00:40:48,518 --> 00:40:51,238
Dr Sylvia Goring's surgery
in Midsomer Market.

555
00:40:51,238 --> 00:40:54,918
That name rings a bell. She was
one of the guests at the dinner.

556
00:40:54,918 --> 00:40:57,158
Oh, yes, yes.
You want me to check it out?

557
00:40:57,158 --> 00:40:59,038
No, no, I will do that.

558
00:40:59,838 --> 00:41:04,078
You go back over everyone's
movements after the birthday do.

559
00:41:04,918 --> 00:41:07,558
See who could have followed
Roper out of the house.

560
00:41:09,078 --> 00:41:12,238
Oh, and Jones?
Get me a copy of Roper's book.

561
00:41:12,238 --> 00:41:14,358
Golden Geezer or
whatever it's called.

562
00:41:14,358 --> 00:41:16,238
Yes, sir.

563
00:41:18,878 --> 00:41:20,958
SYLVIA: No, I didn't hear a thing.

564
00:41:20,958 --> 00:41:23,558
What's missing, Dr Goring?

565
00:41:23,558 --> 00:41:26,198
Well, some petty cash,
according to Missus Painter.

566
00:41:26,198 --> 00:41:29,318
And my fly rods, would you believe.

567
00:41:31,318 --> 00:41:33,718
Came here looking for drugs
no doubt, and...

568
00:41:33,718 --> 00:41:36,318
made off with my fly rods.

569
00:41:36,318 --> 00:41:39,598
Extraordinary!
Do you keep drugs on the premises?

570
00:41:39,598 --> 00:41:41,678
Certainly not.

571
00:41:41,678 --> 00:41:44,398
Nothing to interest the
average low-life, anyway.

572
00:41:44,398 --> 00:41:46,278
You have a picture missing there.

573
00:41:47,238 --> 00:41:49,198
Good lord.

574
00:41:49,398 --> 00:41:51,318
Hadn't noticed that.

575
00:41:51,998 --> 00:41:53,758
What was it?

576
00:41:53,758 --> 00:41:56,078
Oh, just a picture of me and a...

577
00:41:56,958 --> 00:41:59,398
jolly nice salmon I caught
in Scotland, I think.

578
00:42:00,478 --> 00:42:02,398
It was in a rather
pretty silver frame.

579
00:42:03,198 --> 00:42:05,118
Must have caught the burglar's eye.

580
00:42:07,038 --> 00:42:10,758
Dr Goring, you were up
at Chettham Park House

581
00:42:10,758 --> 00:42:14,358
were you not, for Freddy Chettham's
birthday party?

582
00:42:14,358 --> 00:42:16,678
Yes, the Chetthams are
dear friends of mine.

583
00:42:16,678 --> 00:42:18,558
As is Jack Filby.

584
00:42:18,558 --> 00:42:21,438
David Roper? Is he a 'dear friend'
of yours?

585
00:42:23,118 --> 00:42:25,038
'An acquaintance', shall we say.

586
00:42:26,638 --> 00:42:28,718
Dr Goring?
What is it?

587
00:42:28,718 --> 00:42:32,038
I think the intruder's been going
through the patient's notes.

588
00:42:32,718 --> 00:42:34,638
What?

589
00:42:35,878 --> 00:42:37,798
There they are.

590
00:42:40,878 --> 00:42:44,158
Why would the cat burglar -
Oh! Sir William Chettham.

591
00:42:44,158 --> 00:42:47,758
Oh, I had those out this morning.
MISSUS PAINTER: But they were -

592
00:42:47,758 --> 00:42:49,638
I needed to refer
to them this morning.

593
00:42:51,038 --> 00:42:54,158
You're not suggesting it was
this Creeper chappy, are you?

594
00:42:58,398 --> 00:43:01,278
Ah, yes...This could be where
your intruder got in.

595
00:43:01,278 --> 00:43:03,558
Oh, but that's never unlocked.

596
00:43:03,558 --> 00:43:05,478
Well, it's unlocked now.

597
00:43:05,478 --> 00:43:08,478
Where's the key to this padlock
usually kept, Missus Painter?

598
00:43:09,318 --> 00:43:11,278
In my desk.

599
00:43:11,278 --> 00:43:14,478
In your desk. And do you
ever leave your desk

600
00:43:14,478 --> 00:43:16,838
when there are patients
in the waiting room?

601
00:43:16,838 --> 00:43:19,718
Well...yes, I...I suppose so.

602
00:43:19,718 --> 00:43:22,558
Are you suggesting a patient
may have taken the keys?

603
00:43:22,558 --> 00:43:25,558
But our patients are so respectable!

604
00:43:25,558 --> 00:43:27,438
They're all private!

605
00:43:36,198 --> 00:43:39,838
Oh good, you found us! Only just.
Talk about off the beaten track!

606
00:43:41,638 --> 00:43:44,398
What do you think?
It's fantastic!

607
00:43:44,398 --> 00:43:46,558
What is it?
It's for Sid.

608
00:43:47,238 --> 00:43:49,118
Here, hold this.

609
00:43:49,118 --> 00:43:51,518
I have to get him outside soon.

610
00:43:51,518 --> 00:43:54,558
I'll leave the door open so he can
go out and forage, or try to.

611
00:43:55,638 --> 00:43:58,278
Trouble is, he should
be with other foxes

612
00:43:58,278 --> 00:44:00,758
otherwise he won't develop
any social skills.

613
00:44:00,758 --> 00:44:02,958
Yeah, I know how he feels.

614
00:44:02,958 --> 00:44:05,718
I spent all week in meetings
about the retail business.

615
00:44:05,718 --> 00:44:08,998
Jack wants to buy
this chain of shops.

616
00:44:08,998 --> 00:44:11,078
(SIGHS)
Tell him, Freddy.

617
00:44:11,078 --> 00:44:13,398
Tell him you want out.
I can't.

618
00:44:13,398 --> 00:44:15,918
He'd be devastated.

619
00:44:15,918 --> 00:44:18,878
And what about Mum and Dad?
What would happen to them?

620
00:44:18,878 --> 00:44:22,358
Look at us. You with your suit,
me with my animals.

621
00:44:23,398 --> 00:44:26,078
Poor old Martha, getting off
with anything that moves.

622
00:44:26,078 --> 00:44:28,078
It's family, Tals.
We're stuck with it.

623
00:44:28,078 --> 00:44:30,318
Maybe David's dying
will change things.

624
00:44:30,318 --> 00:44:32,398
How?
I don't know.

625
00:44:32,398 --> 00:44:35,358
Secrets coming out, clearing
the air. That sort of thing.

626
00:44:36,558 --> 00:44:38,558
There's only one secret,
isn't there?

627
00:44:39,518 --> 00:44:42,158
Even if it came out, would it
make things any better?

628
00:44:44,678 --> 00:44:46,918
Oh, it's just one of those days.

629
00:44:47,558 --> 00:44:49,878
Right, when are you
going to move Sid?

630
00:44:49,878 --> 00:44:52,118
Can I help?
Course you can.

631
00:44:56,518 --> 00:44:59,358
You're absolutely the only
human being I can stand.

632
00:44:59,358 --> 00:45:01,238
You know that, don't you?

633
00:45:06,238 --> 00:45:08,438
What's that you're reading?

634
00:45:08,438 --> 00:45:12,478
'The Golden Geezer.
My Story by Harry Godbolt.'

635
00:45:12,478 --> 00:45:15,198
Actually, it was written
by this fellow, David Roper.

636
00:45:16,718 --> 00:45:19,278
Is he the one that died at Chettham?
The very same.

637
00:45:21,158 --> 00:45:23,358
And now he really is a ghost writer.

638
00:45:23,358 --> 00:45:25,358
Oh, ha ha(!)

639
00:45:25,358 --> 00:45:27,518
Can I read it after you?

640
00:45:27,518 --> 00:45:29,758
You certainly can.
Well, you can read it now.

641
00:45:29,758 --> 00:45:31,998
Celebrity gangsters,
the curse of the age.

642
00:45:31,998 --> 00:45:33,998
Here, I'm not wading
through that stuff.

643
00:45:35,438 --> 00:45:37,518
Hm, he's very good looking.

644
00:45:37,518 --> 00:45:39,558
Who? Godbolt?

645
00:45:39,558 --> 00:45:41,438
Gosh, yes.

646
00:45:41,678 --> 00:45:43,598
Oh, it's so subjective, that stuff.

647
00:45:45,598 --> 00:45:47,878
Did you lock the back door?
Yes...

648
00:45:49,038 --> 00:45:51,558
Not that locking would
make much difference.

649
00:45:53,718 --> 00:45:56,998
I will see to it tomorrow...

650
00:46:29,158 --> 00:46:31,078
Tom...

651
00:46:33,998 --> 00:46:36,438
Tom!
What? What? What?

652
00:46:36,438 --> 00:46:38,318
Do I have to do everything myself?!

653
00:46:39,158 --> 00:46:41,078
Come here, you!

654
00:46:44,158 --> 00:46:45,998
(GROANS IN PAIN)
Joyce?

655
00:46:48,198 --> 00:46:50,078
Joyce!

656
00:46:50,398 --> 00:46:52,598
Joyce...

657
00:46:52,598 --> 00:46:54,278
You all right?
Yeah.

658
00:46:54,278 --> 00:46:56,078
You all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.

659
00:46:56,878 --> 00:46:59,958
He was here, Tom! The Creeper!

660
00:46:59,958 --> 00:47:02,718
He was here in our house!
Nevermind him, what about you?

661
00:47:02,718 --> 00:47:05,118
Oh, my God. My mother's pearls.

662
00:47:05,118 --> 00:47:06,998
At least lie down!

663
00:47:10,238 --> 00:47:12,158
Oh, they're here.

664
00:47:13,158 --> 00:47:15,118
Tom?

665
00:47:17,358 --> 00:47:19,238
What's that?

666
00:47:21,078 --> 00:47:23,318
That's like the photo in the book.

667
00:47:23,318 --> 00:47:25,718
And that - Oh...

668
00:47:26,958 --> 00:47:28,878
No, don't...don't touch it.

669
00:47:30,838 --> 00:47:32,758
Get the tweezers.

670
00:47:35,398 --> 00:47:37,278
Ta.

671
00:47:47,278 --> 00:47:49,998
I think that The Creeper
has made his first mistake.

672
00:48:02,079 --> 00:48:03,919
JONES: These were returned to YOU?

673
00:48:03,919 --> 00:48:06,479
Yes, they were returned anonymously.

674
00:48:08,319 --> 00:48:09,759
Ah.

675
00:48:09,759 --> 00:48:12,679
"Fake"? What's that about, then?

676
00:48:12,679 --> 00:48:14,559
Well, it's obviously a message.

677
00:48:14,559 --> 00:48:17,639
Look, The Creeper must be an
insider, mustn't he?

678
00:48:17,639 --> 00:48:20,759
He doesn't just know peoples'
security setups,

679
00:48:20,759 --> 00:48:23,399
he knows their habits,
their routines.

680
00:48:23,399 --> 00:48:26,159
And their secrets. Secrets?

681
00:48:26,159 --> 00:48:29,879
There's something linking the
Chetthams with Jack Filby.

682
00:48:31,039 --> 00:48:33,119
And it's not just the Old Pals Act.

683
00:48:33,119 --> 00:48:35,399
So The Creeper's what? A tradesman?

684
00:48:35,399 --> 00:48:37,359
A servant?

685
00:48:38,679 --> 00:48:43,839
What about Rupert, Filby's creepy
butler? He's got brown hair.

686
00:48:43,839 --> 00:48:46,599
This looks reddish, though.
Darker at one end.

687
00:48:46,599 --> 00:48:49,599
Dye job, maybe. It's not gonna be
much help

688
00:48:49,599 --> 00:48:52,599
unless we can find a match.
Well, it's worth a try, innit?

689
00:48:52,599 --> 00:48:55,839
Get it down to the lab.
And THEN, Jones,

690
00:48:55,839 --> 00:48:58,399
go to Chettham Park House...

691
00:48:58,399 --> 00:49:04,279
and get confirmation that this
really is Filby's etching.

692
00:49:04,279 --> 00:49:06,559
Right. What about you?

693
00:49:06,559 --> 00:49:09,919
Me, Jones? I am going to ask
Doctor Sylvia Goring

694
00:49:09,919 --> 00:49:11,919
why she told me that this

695
00:49:11,919 --> 00:49:14,399
was the photo of a salmon.

696
00:49:17,159 --> 00:49:20,319
I knew it was yours, Doctor Goring,

697
00:49:20,319 --> 00:49:23,039
because the framer has
very thoughtfully

698
00:49:23,039 --> 00:49:26,239
put your name and address on
the back there. Look.

699
00:49:27,519 --> 00:49:31,399
I had a lot of pictures reframed
recently. I must've lost track.

700
00:49:31,399 --> 00:49:33,919
It's a great party, that. Yes.

701
00:49:33,919 --> 00:49:35,839
Life was fun then.

702
00:49:35,839 --> 00:49:37,719
(LAUGHTER)

703
00:49:44,879 --> 00:49:50,159
Easy when you're young and foolish,
Inspector.

704
00:49:50,159 --> 00:49:55,279
Why on earth would someone write
'fake' on that photo, do you think?

705
00:49:55,279 --> 00:49:57,199
I really haven't the faintest idea.

706
00:49:59,319 --> 00:50:01,239
Doctor Goring...

707
00:50:02,359 --> 00:50:05,199
When did you last speak to
David Roper?

708
00:50:05,199 --> 00:50:07,799
The other day of course,
at Freddy's party.

709
00:50:07,799 --> 00:50:11,359
And before that? He came to see me a
couple of weeks ago.

710
00:50:11,359 --> 00:50:13,799
May I ask what about?

711
00:50:13,799 --> 00:50:16,239
Some book he wanted to write.

712
00:50:18,279 --> 00:50:20,719
I told him I wouldn't have anything
to do with it.

713
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:22,199
Because?

714
00:50:22,199 --> 00:50:24,079
People grow up.

715
00:50:25,399 --> 00:50:27,319
People change.

716
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:32,519
Raking up the past serves no purpose
whatsoever.

717
00:50:36,879 --> 00:50:38,999
That's all I have to say.

718
00:50:41,439 --> 00:50:43,399
Yes, that looks like Mister Filby's.

719
00:50:43,399 --> 00:50:46,759
So, the thief returned it, did he?

720
00:50:46,759 --> 00:50:48,799
Bet that doesn't happen very often.

721
00:50:48,799 --> 00:50:50,559
Is it a fake?

722
00:50:50,559 --> 00:50:52,799
I wouldn't be surprised.

723
00:50:52,799 --> 00:50:56,879
Mister Filby bought it off that old
fraud, Hugo Greening.

724
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:01,359
He was at the birthday do,
wasn't he? Oh, yes.

725
00:51:01,359 --> 00:51:03,839
Oh! Well, he's one of the gang.

726
00:51:03,839 --> 00:51:06,879
They turn up when summoned
and sing for their supper.

727
00:51:08,159 --> 00:51:11,039
Greening used to have an art
gallery. Very chic.

728
00:51:11,039 --> 00:51:12,919
But it all went pear-shaped.

729
00:51:12,919 --> 00:51:14,919
Was David Roper one of the 'gang'?

730
00:51:14,919 --> 00:51:17,039
He'd fallen out of favour.

731
00:51:17,039 --> 00:51:20,439
He was very persona non grata,
was David.

732
00:51:20,439 --> 00:51:22,279
Ah. Why was that?

733
00:51:22,279 --> 00:51:24,159
Well, how would I know?

734
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,719
I am but a humble lackey.

735
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:29,839
How discreet.

736
00:51:29,839 --> 00:51:31,719
What a good boy.

737
00:51:34,039 --> 00:51:36,119
It was because of me.

738
00:51:36,119 --> 00:51:39,119
I had a fling with David, you see.

739
00:51:39,119 --> 00:51:41,439
At Freddy's party last year.

740
00:51:41,439 --> 00:51:43,839
It was alcohol-induced

741
00:51:43,839 --> 00:51:47,279
and quite extraordinarily
unpleasant.

742
00:51:47,279 --> 00:51:49,239
Daddy was furious.

743
00:51:50,359 --> 00:51:53,079
Rupert didn't like it either.
Did you, darling?

744
00:51:53,079 --> 00:51:56,239
Roper shouldn't have taken
advantage.

745
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,119
'Taken advantage'?

746
00:51:59,799 --> 00:52:02,319
Oh, how sweet!

747
00:52:02,319 --> 00:52:05,359
(LAUGHS) Is that why you followed
him into the park

748
00:52:05,359 --> 00:52:07,439
and hit him over the head?

749
00:52:08,559 --> 00:52:11,239
Be a man, Rupert.

750
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:12,719
Confess.

751
00:52:16,119 --> 00:52:18,639
I was just going to rough him up a
bit, that's all.

752
00:52:18,639 --> 00:52:20,439
Urgh...

753
00:52:20,439 --> 00:52:22,199

with a branch.'

757
00:52:33,799 --> 00:52:35,079
Argh!

My knight in shining armour.

763
00:52:51,519 --> 00:52:53,559
And you didn't see who this someone
was?

764
00:52:53,559 --> 00:52:54,999
No.

765
00:52:54,999 --> 00:52:57,159
Maybe it was this Creeper bloke.

766
00:52:57,159 --> 00:52:59,559
If I'd have known,
I would've gone for him.

767
00:52:59,559 --> 00:53:01,919
Oh, of course you would, darling.

768
00:53:10,519 --> 00:53:12,159
No.

769
00:53:12,159 --> 00:53:15,159
Rupert the butler is definitely not
The Creeper.

770
00:53:15,159 --> 00:53:16,959
He hasn't got the bottle.

771
00:53:16,959 --> 00:53:20,039
So, Martha had a fling with Roper?

772
00:53:20,039 --> 00:53:22,399
Yeah. Filby was very angry about it.

773
00:53:22,399 --> 00:53:24,359
I'm not surprised.

774
00:53:27,359 --> 00:53:29,559
I've had that policeman here again.

775
00:53:29,559 --> 00:53:32,279
He knows I'm not telling him
everything.

776
00:53:32,279 --> 00:53:34,439
He made me feel like a criminal.

777
00:53:36,959 --> 00:53:38,879
Well, what am I to do?

778
00:53:42,919 --> 00:53:46,159
All right.
Curate's Wood at two o'clock.

779
00:53:54,159 --> 00:53:56,759
I could get someone from the
Art Fraud Squad

780
00:53:56,759 --> 00:53:58,599
to take a look at it, if necessary?

781
00:53:58,599 --> 00:54:03,119
I did explain to Jack that the
provenance was a mite dubious.

782
00:54:03,119 --> 00:54:05,399
Does that mean it's dodgy?

783
00:54:05,399 --> 00:54:10,199
I...I explained that the plate
from which the etching was made

784
00:54:10,199 --> 00:54:12,759
may be School of Rembrandt.

785
00:54:12,759 --> 00:54:15,239
It's dodgy.
I do wish you'd stop saying that!

786
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:18,719
And you explained that, did you,
to Mister Filby?

787
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:22,879
About the plate?
Perhaps not in those words, no.

788
00:54:22,879 --> 00:54:25,839
Look, the main thing is,
Jack liked it.

789
00:54:25,839 --> 00:54:28,799
And a couple of grand,
quite frankly,

790
00:54:28,799 --> 00:54:30,959
is not of much consequence to him.

791
00:54:30,959 --> 00:54:33,879
Whereas... Whereas to you...

792
00:54:35,959 --> 00:54:38,639
Business has been very slow of late,
Inspector.

793
00:54:39,919 --> 00:54:43,999
Mister Greening, I am not interested
in the provenance of this print.

794
00:54:43,999 --> 00:54:47,639
But I am very interested in finding
out exactly what happened

795
00:54:47,639 --> 00:54:50,319
to David Roper on the night he died.

796
00:54:50,319 --> 00:54:52,559
Surely there's no mystery
about that?

797
00:54:52,559 --> 00:54:54,959
The mystery is how he lived
as long as he did.

798
00:54:56,119 --> 00:54:59,319
The man's liver must've been
cast-iron.

799
00:54:59,319 --> 00:55:03,399
What about the row Roper had
with Mister Filby that night? Mm?

800
00:55:03,399 --> 00:55:05,599
It was er, over...

801
00:55:05,599 --> 00:55:08,279
another book that Roper was planning
to write, wasn't it?

802
00:55:08,279 --> 00:55:10,439
About the good old days.

803
00:55:10,439 --> 00:55:13,559
It may have been. I really wasn't
paying much attention.

804
00:55:13,559 --> 00:55:16,399
David always spread chaos and
confusion wherever he went.

805
00:55:16,399 --> 00:55:18,479
Did Roper talk to you about this?

806
00:55:18,479 --> 00:55:21,119
We had a brief conversation
about it.

807
00:55:21,119 --> 00:55:23,039
I wasn't much help, I'm afraid.

808
00:55:23,039 --> 00:55:26,039
I didn't remember the gangster chap
at all.

809
00:55:27,399 --> 00:55:29,759
Even though he came to all your
parties?

810
00:55:29,759 --> 00:55:32,799
LOTS of people came to our parties.

811
00:55:33,799 --> 00:55:36,639
They were extremely good parties.

812
00:55:37,999 --> 00:55:40,879
Oh, champagne!

813
00:55:40,879 --> 00:55:43,279
Who wants champagne?

814

(CAMERA SHUTTER)

815
00:55:54,079 --> 00:55:56,639
Sir William Chettham there,
he was er...

816
00:55:56,639 --> 00:55:59,079
your partner in the gallery,
wasn't he?

817
00:55:59,079 --> 00:56:00,959
Of sorts.

818
00:56:00,959 --> 00:56:03,679
Once the parties were over
and the actual work began,

819
00:56:03,679 --> 00:56:07,479
Will lost interest. It took me years
to pay off the debts.

820
00:56:07,479 --> 00:56:09,719
Good old Will, of course,

821
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:11,719
fell on his feet.

822
00:56:16,279 --> 00:56:20,239
Ask yourself why a man like
Jack Filby never remarried.

823
00:56:21,439 --> 00:56:25,719
Ask yourself how the Chetthams
managed to make ends meet.

824
00:56:30,679 --> 00:56:33,959
So Jack Filby and Isobel Chettham
were an item.

825
00:56:33,959 --> 00:56:37,279
Hence the word 'fake'. Is that the
dark secret, d'you reckon?

826
00:56:37,279 --> 00:56:39,279
I don't know, Jones.
Could be part of it.

827
00:56:45,679 --> 00:56:48,119
'Art Fraud Squad'.

828
00:56:48,119 --> 00:56:50,879
That was good. Yeah, not bad, hey?

(CROWS CAW)

830
00:57:36,919 --> 00:57:39,159
Oh, there you are.

831
00:57:39,159 --> 00:57:42,559
There's loads of rabbits in the
meadow. Take a potshot if you want.

832
00:57:44,279 --> 00:57:46,279
Don't play silly beggars,
it's loaded.

833
00:57:55,069 --> 00:57:57,309
Looks like she put both barrels
to her throat

834
00:57:57,309 --> 00:57:59,669
and used the branch to push
the triggers.

835
00:57:59,669 --> 00:58:01,789
Practically took her head off.

836
00:58:01,789 --> 00:58:04,549
If she came out here to kill
herself...

837
00:58:05,709 --> 00:58:07,669
why bother shooting a pigeon?

838
00:58:07,669 --> 00:58:09,989
Someone could've grabbed the gun off
her.

839
00:58:09,989 --> 00:58:12,829
Any signs of a struggle?
Not at first glance, no.

840
00:58:12,829 --> 00:58:14,829
Well, maybe she knew them.

841
00:58:14,829 --> 00:58:16,909
Didn't see them as a threat.

842
00:58:16,909 --> 00:58:20,189
Who found her? The gamekeeper.

843
00:58:20,189 --> 00:58:23,989
He heard the gun, guessed it was
Doctor Goring, came over to chat.

844
00:58:23,989 --> 00:58:26,709
Apparently Jack Filby let her
shoot here whenever she wanted.

845
00:58:26,709 --> 00:58:28,949
And he saw no-one else? No, sir.

846
00:58:30,989 --> 00:58:36,909
Doctor Goring said 'Raking up the
past serves no purpose whatsoever'.

847
00:58:36,909 --> 00:58:39,789
She knew something, Jones.

848
00:58:39,789 --> 00:58:42,309
It troubled her immensely.

849
00:58:42,309 --> 00:58:44,669
But she wouldn't talk about.

850
00:58:46,629 --> 00:58:50,989
Maybe it's got nothing to do with the
Chetthams. Or Roper, or Jack Filby.

851
00:58:52,389 --> 00:58:54,309
Who knows what was going on
in her mind?

852
00:58:56,549 --> 00:58:59,069
WILLIAM: No, it couldn't have been
an accident.

853
00:58:59,069 --> 00:59:02,429
Sylvia was a fine shot,
and she knew how to handle a gun.

854
00:59:02,429 --> 00:59:06,109
Was the birthday party the last time
any of you saw her?

855
00:59:06,109 --> 00:59:09,389
Yes. BARNABY: And how would you
describe her state of mind?

856
00:59:09,389 --> 00:59:12,829
You're not trying to suggest she
took her own life, are you?

857
00:59:12,829 --> 00:59:15,309
I came as soon as I heard the news.
Are you all right?

858
00:59:15,309 --> 00:59:17,469
Devastated, Jack.
Utterly devastated.

859
00:59:17,469 --> 00:59:21,029
What happened? He thinks that Sylvia
took her own life.

860
00:59:21,029 --> 00:59:23,709
That's not exactly what he said,
Mummy.

861
00:59:23,709 --> 00:59:25,709
This is an ACCIDENT, surely?

862
00:59:25,709 --> 00:59:28,109
The Inspector is determined to see

863
00:59:28,109 --> 00:59:30,389
everything that happens on the
Chettham estate

864
00:59:30,389 --> 00:59:32,709
in the worst possible light.

865
00:59:34,069 --> 00:59:36,549
I wonder why.

866
00:59:36,549 --> 00:59:38,469
No mystery to this one, Tom.

867
00:59:38,469 --> 00:59:42,269
Both barrels of a 12-bore shotgun
to the throat at very close range.

868
00:59:42,269 --> 00:59:45,629
Now, there was one thing
that gave me pause for thought.

869
00:59:45,629 --> 00:59:47,709
And that was the blood on her hand.

870
00:59:47,709 --> 00:59:49,669
Hers? No.

871
00:59:49,669 --> 00:59:53,269
So she did try and defend herself.
Not so fast, Benjamin.

872
00:59:53,269 --> 00:59:55,989
No, the blood belonged to the
pigeon.

873
00:59:55,989 --> 00:59:59,189
I took the liberty of bagging it.
Its neck had been wrung.

874
00:59:59,189 --> 01:00:02,469
So she shoots the pigeon
and wings it...

875
01:00:02,469 --> 01:00:04,669
She puts down the gun to wring its
neck...

876
01:00:04,669 --> 01:00:06,829
The assailant picks up the gun...
Baboom.

877
01:00:06,829 --> 01:00:08,829
Sounds plausible to me.
By the way, Tom,

878
01:00:08,829 --> 01:00:11,829
I've got the toxicology report
on that Roper chap.

879
01:00:11,829 --> 01:00:13,869
Good, give us the gist.

880
01:00:13,869 --> 01:00:17,229
Well...the alcoholic levels are
pretty consistent

881
01:00:17,229 --> 01:00:19,669
with someone who'd have drunk a
bottle of brandy.

882
01:00:19,669 --> 01:00:22,869
And I don't suppose the morphine
content was much of a surprise,

883
01:00:22,869 --> 01:00:24,549
given his track record.

884
01:00:24,549 --> 01:00:26,789
Morphine? Well, codeine, actually,

885
01:00:26,789 --> 01:00:29,709
but codeine metabolizes
into morphine in the body.

886
01:00:29,709 --> 01:00:32,989
My guess would be erm...
prescription pain killer.

887
01:00:32,989 --> 01:00:35,829
How much did he take?
Oh, quite a lot.

888
01:00:35,829 --> 01:00:38,949
About er...300 milligrams.

889
01:00:38,949 --> 01:00:40,949
Is that enough to kill him?

890
01:00:40,949 --> 01:00:43,109
Borderline, but I'd say it could be
enough

891
01:00:43,109 --> 01:00:45,109
to cause respiratory depression.

892
01:00:45,109 --> 01:00:47,509
Or make it very easy to suffocate.

893
01:00:47,509 --> 01:00:49,589
Yes, but is it enough
to make a case, Tom?

894
01:00:50,909 --> 01:00:52,829
Yes, thank you, George.

895
01:00:53,829 --> 01:00:55,149
Jones...

896
01:00:56,189 --> 01:00:57,829
Jones...

897
01:00:57,829 --> 01:01:00,909
There weren't any drugs found in
Roper's effects, were there?

898
01:01:00,909 --> 01:01:04,109
No. Oh. No, not so much as an
aspirin.

899
01:01:04,109 --> 01:01:06,069
Check with the Chetthams.

900
01:01:06,069 --> 01:01:09,949
The old grandmother must be on some
sort of medication, for starters.

901
01:01:09,949 --> 01:01:12,149
Won't that be on record at
Doctor Goring's?

902
01:01:12,149 --> 01:01:14,069
She was the family doctor,
wasn't she?

903
01:01:16,629 --> 01:01:18,509
MISSUS PAINTER: 'There they are.'

904
01:01:20,429 --> 01:01:22,469
Oh, Sir William Chettham.

905
01:01:22,469 --> 01:01:24,669
Oh, I had those out this morning.

906
01:01:24,669 --> 01:01:27,349
But they were in the - I needed to
refer to them this morning.

907
01:01:27,349 --> 01:01:29,429
Excuse me.

908
01:01:29,429 --> 01:01:31,629
I'll check the surgery.

909
01:01:31,629 --> 01:01:34,909
You go and have another look in the
guest room at the Dower House.

910
01:01:34,909 --> 01:01:37,589
See if Roper had anything
stashed away. Yes, sir.

911

(SIGHS AND CLEARS THROAT)

913
01:01:56,109 --> 01:01:57,549
Hi.

914
01:01:57,549 --> 01:01:58,829
(GASPS)

915
01:02:01,909 --> 01:02:04,109
Are you OK?

916
01:02:04,109 --> 01:02:06,469
You're supposed to be lying down,
Elizabeth.

917
01:02:07,669 --> 01:02:09,749
Ah, there we go. Come on.

918
01:02:09,749 --> 01:02:11,789
I heard someone moving around.

919
01:02:11,789 --> 01:02:14,549
I thought it was a burglar again.

920
01:02:14,549 --> 01:02:17,949
Come on. Let's get you back
to your room.

921
01:02:17,949 --> 01:02:20,429
Please, let me help.
No, I can manage.

922
01:02:20,429 --> 01:02:22,469
I'm used to it.

923
01:02:22,469 --> 01:02:24,709
Can I just ask something?

924
01:02:24,709 --> 01:02:27,789
Does anyone in the house take any
sort of prescription painkiller?

925
01:02:29,029 --> 01:02:31,709
You take something for your
arthritis, don't you?

926
01:02:31,709 --> 01:02:35,229
Oh, I take 100 pills a day.
Blood pressure, cholesterol,

927
01:02:35,229 --> 01:02:38,469
God knows what. You'll have to check
with Sylvia Goring.

928
01:02:41,029 --> 01:02:43,829
Oh, dear. Come along. Come on.

929
01:02:49,709 --> 01:02:51,789
I can't believe it.

930
01:02:51,789 --> 01:02:53,669
Poor Doctor Goring.

931
01:02:54,829 --> 01:02:58,309
Missus Painter, d'you feel up to
answering a couple of questions?

932
01:02:58,309 --> 01:03:01,589
Oh, yes. Of course.

933
01:03:02,949 --> 01:03:05,709
She would be appalled to see me
blubbing.

934
01:03:05,709 --> 01:03:08,989
Now, when did you last see
Doctor Goring?

935
01:03:08,989 --> 01:03:12,509
After surgery this morning.
And how did she seem?

936
01:03:13,589 --> 01:03:15,469
A bit on edge, to be honest.

937
01:03:17,509 --> 01:03:20,829
Missus Painter, did you ever meet
David Roper?

938
01:03:20,829 --> 01:03:22,869
He was a friend of hers, I think.

939
01:03:22,869 --> 01:03:26,149
Yes. I didn't care for him at all.

940
01:03:26,149 --> 01:03:28,909
He turned up unannounced
a couple of weeks ago,

941
01:03:28,909 --> 01:03:31,669
but Sylvia sent him packing.

942
01:03:31,669 --> 01:03:34,309
So what time did the surgery close
today?

943
01:03:34,309 --> 01:03:36,509
The last patient left at 12:30.

944
01:03:36,509 --> 01:03:39,789
And then Doctor Goring...went out?

945
01:03:39,789 --> 01:03:42,349
Yes. No! No, not quite.

946
01:03:42,349 --> 01:03:44,549
She did some shredding first.

947
01:03:44,549 --> 01:03:49,669
Shredding? Yes. She bought one of
those machines last week.

948
01:04:23,389 --> 01:04:25,749
Nothing in the guest bedroom, sir.

949
01:04:25,749 --> 01:04:28,829
But the old girl, Elizabeth?
She's on God knows what.

950
01:04:28,829 --> 01:04:32,069
Beta blockers, statins, you name it.

951
01:04:32,069 --> 01:04:34,789
Very off-hand when I mentioned
the painkillers.

952
01:04:36,509 --> 01:04:38,549
Any joy at the surgery?

953
01:04:38,549 --> 01:04:40,869
Depends what you mean, Jones.

954
01:04:40,869 --> 01:04:44,109
Doctor Goring destroyed all the
Chettham family records,

955
01:04:44,109 --> 01:04:46,589
apart from this.

956
01:04:46,589 --> 01:04:48,469
Take a look.

957
01:04:54,629 --> 01:04:56,709
"Victoria and Albert Clinic."

958
01:04:56,709 --> 01:04:58,389
So?

959
01:04:58,389 --> 01:05:01,069
Happily for us,
that clinic still exists.

960
01:05:01,069 --> 01:05:05,389
And they very kindly sent me this.

961
01:05:10,709 --> 01:05:12,029
Wow...

962
01:05:15,549 --> 01:05:18,149
Well, that explains a lot.
Doesn't it just?

963
01:05:18,149 --> 01:05:20,189
Roper must have found out somehow
or other

964
01:05:20,189 --> 01:05:22,349
and threatened to write about it.
Blackmail.

965
01:05:23,629 --> 01:05:25,629
What now?

966
01:05:25,629 --> 01:05:27,549
I think...

967
01:05:29,029 --> 01:05:33,069
..the less time they have to cover
their tracks, the better.

Hello?
'Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby.'

970
01:05:39,629 --> 01:05:41,509
Inspector, good afternoon.

971
01:05:41,509 --> 01:05:46,309
'Sir William...There's something I'd
very much like to talk to you about.

972
01:05:46,309 --> 01:05:48,349
Something of a personal...'

973
01:05:48,349 --> 01:05:49,629
..nature.

974
01:05:53,709 --> 01:05:55,589
Very personal.

975
01:06:01,709 --> 01:06:04,029
He knows.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

977
01:06:13,149 --> 01:06:15,829
Hello, Freddy.
We've come to see your father.

978
01:06:15,829 --> 01:06:18,309
I know. He's up at the house.
I'm to take you there.

979
01:06:18,309 --> 01:06:21,029
Everybody's waiting. Everybody?

980
01:06:24,549 --> 01:06:27,589
FILBY: Well, let's get on with it,
then.

981
01:06:27,589 --> 01:06:30,589
What I have to say concerns
Sir William,

982
01:06:30,589 --> 01:06:33,869
and I'd much rather discuss
that with him in private.

983
01:06:33,869 --> 01:06:36,069
Let me put you out of your misery,
Inspector.

984
01:06:37,389 --> 01:06:40,709
In the wake of poor Sylvia Goring's
death,

985
01:06:40,709 --> 01:06:43,869
you've unearthed something
in my medical records.

986
01:06:43,869 --> 01:06:46,789
Something that has piqued your
curiosity.

987
01:06:46,789 --> 01:06:49,829
Grubbing around in other people's
affairs. Despicable.

988
01:06:49,829 --> 01:06:51,789
Quiet, Elizabeth.

989
01:06:51,789 --> 01:06:53,469
Am I on the right track?

990
01:06:54,749 --> 01:06:56,949
Yes, you are.

991
01:06:56,949 --> 01:07:01,549
And that something is the fact that
I am unable to father children, yes?

992
01:07:01,549 --> 01:07:03,109
Yes.

993
01:07:03,109 --> 01:07:05,309
"Shooting at blanks",
don't they say?

994
01:07:05,309 --> 01:07:07,309
I believe they do, yes.

995
01:07:08,509 --> 01:07:11,109
We found out soon after Isobel
and I were married.

996
01:07:12,749 --> 01:07:15,189
That I would be unable to produce
a son and heir.

997
01:07:16,589 --> 01:07:19,589
It was a terrible blow, Inspector.
Yes, it must have been.

998
01:07:21,229 --> 01:07:23,869
And it begs a very large question.

999
01:07:23,869 --> 01:07:26,949
Yes, indeed.
Who, then, is Freddy's father?

1000
01:07:28,589 --> 01:07:30,869
Well, legally, of course, I am.

1001
01:07:30,869 --> 01:07:32,949
And biologically?

1002
01:07:32,949 --> 01:07:35,429
Yes, I am.

1003
01:07:35,429 --> 01:07:37,509
I'm very proud to say.

1004
01:07:38,749 --> 01:07:41,789
ISOBEL: It was an arrangement
between friends, Inspector.

1005
01:07:41,789 --> 01:07:43,709
A PRIVATE arrangement.

1006
01:07:45,229 --> 01:07:47,869
Well, I'm off.
Stay where you are, Tallis.

1007
01:07:47,869 --> 01:07:50,429
I thought there was going to be some
amazing revelation.

1008
01:07:50,429 --> 01:07:53,149
This is ancient history.

1009
01:07:53,149 --> 01:07:55,909
WILLIAM: All the children know,
Inspector. Come on, girls.

1010
01:07:55,909 --> 01:07:58,709
They were told as soon as
they were old enough to understand.

1011
01:07:58,709 --> 01:08:01,029
You may find this hard to believe,
Barnaby,

1012
01:08:01,029 --> 01:08:04,309
but it's a situation that's turned
out very happily for all concerned.

1013
01:08:04,309 --> 01:08:08,189
Yes. We're all deliriously happy.
Thank you, Martha, that's enough.

1014
01:08:08,189 --> 01:08:11,389
But you weren't very happy when
David Roper found out, were you?

1015
01:08:11,389 --> 01:08:13,349
Did he threaten to write about it in
his book?

1016
01:08:13,349 --> 01:08:15,509
David always knew, Inspector.

1017
01:08:15,509 --> 01:08:19,669
He could've written about it
any time in the past 25 years.

1018
01:08:19,669 --> 01:08:22,709
Unfortunately he's not around to
confirm that, is he?

1019
01:08:22,709 --> 01:08:24,349
Well, ask Hugo Greening.

1020
01:08:25,989 --> 01:08:29,469
Er, our dearest and closest friends
have always known.

1021
01:08:29,469 --> 01:08:31,749
It's my name on Freddy's
birth certificate.

1022
01:08:31,749 --> 01:08:34,789
When I die, he will become
the 13th baronet.

1023
01:08:34,789 --> 01:08:37,149
And by then I'm sure he'll be
well on his way

1024
01:08:37,149 --> 01:08:39,509
to re-establishing
the Chettham family fortunes.

1025
01:08:39,509 --> 01:08:41,909
I'll do my best, Dad. 'Dad'.

1026
01:08:43,149 --> 01:08:46,829
You see, Inspector, that is the
reality of the situation.

1027
01:08:48,269 --> 01:08:50,829
ELIZABETH: The
Inspector's looking disappointed.

1028
01:08:50,829 --> 01:08:54,749
He was hoping to bring Chettham Park
tumbling down round our ears.

1029
01:08:54,749 --> 01:08:57,189
I was hoping to find out the truth.

1030
01:08:57,189 --> 01:08:58,869
That is all, Lady Chettham.

1031
01:08:58,869 --> 01:09:01,749
THAT is Lady Chettham, Inspector.

1032
01:09:01,749 --> 01:09:04,309
The wife of the 12th baronet.

1033
01:09:04,309 --> 01:09:07,189
As the widow of the 11th baronet,

1034
01:09:07,189 --> 01:09:10,669
the proper form in my case is
'My Lady'.

1035
01:09:12,309 --> 01:09:14,509
And the correct form in MY case

1036
01:09:14,509 --> 01:09:17,349
is 'Detective Chief Inspector',

1037
01:09:17,349 --> 01:09:19,269
'My Lady'.

1038
01:09:22,469 --> 01:09:25,509
So this boy Freddy can still inherit
the title?

1039
01:09:25,509 --> 01:09:28,549
Yep. Yes, he can.
When Sir William Chettham dies...

1040
01:09:30,429 --> 01:09:33,789
..it goes to some committee or other
in the Lord Chancellor's office,

1041
01:09:33,789 --> 01:09:35,789
and if all the paperwork's in order,

1042
01:09:35,789 --> 01:09:37,669
nobody rocks the boat...

1043
01:09:37,669 --> 01:09:41,469
Maybe that's what Roper threatened
to do. You said he was broke.

1044
01:09:41,469 --> 01:09:43,829
Erm, there's something more to
it than that, Joyce.

1045
01:09:45,109 --> 01:09:48,189
When I confronted them,
they were all there,

1046
01:09:48,189 --> 01:09:51,749
about Sir William's infertility...

1047
01:09:52,869 --> 01:09:56,149
..there was an air of immense relief
in the room.

1048
01:09:56,149 --> 01:09:57,469
Hm.

1049
01:09:58,589 --> 01:10:00,349
How's 'The Golden Geezer' then, 'ey?

1050
01:10:01,509 --> 01:10:06,509
It's rubbish. And the most ludicrous
bit features your Chief Constable.

1051
01:10:06,509 --> 01:10:09,029
Lovell? What's he doing in it?

1052
01:10:09,029 --> 01:10:11,789
Well, he caught Harry Godbolt.

1053
01:10:11,789 --> 01:10:14,149
That's what he got
the Onslow medal for.

1054
01:10:14,149 --> 01:10:17,709
Didn't you know?
I must have forgotten.

1055
01:10:17,709 --> 01:10:19,869
I wonder...

1056
01:10:19,869 --> 01:10:22,909
if he was at that party.

1057
01:10:22,909 --> 01:10:25,269
I'm not understanding you here,
Joyce.

1058
01:10:25,269 --> 01:10:27,789
Why would Lovell be at the party?

1059
01:10:27,789 --> 01:10:31,869
Well, he was at university with the
Chetthams and that lot, wasn't he?

1060
01:10:31,869 --> 01:10:34,069
He was? Mm.

1061
01:10:34,069 --> 01:10:37,149
You don't know very much about your
beloved leader, do you?

1062
01:10:37,149 --> 01:10:39,069
Well, obviously not.

1063
01:10:42,469 --> 01:10:43,789
Joyce...

1064
01:10:45,549 --> 01:10:51,029
How would you describe...Isobel's
expression in the photo there, hm?

1065
01:10:54,509 --> 01:10:55,949
Adoring.

1066
01:10:55,949 --> 01:10:57,429
Adoring...

1067
01:10:57,429 --> 01:10:59,909
Yes. That would be the word.

1068
01:11:01,909 --> 01:11:04,549
The report on Godbolt's arrest
tallies with the book.

1069
01:11:05,869 --> 01:11:08,589
I was surprised, actually.
Why were you surprised?

1070
01:11:08,589 --> 01:11:12,109
Harry Godbolt's on the run
with an army of minders,

1071
01:11:12,109 --> 01:11:15,669
and Chief Constable Lovell wanders
into a West End hotel room,

1072
01:11:15,669 --> 01:11:18,789
'on a hunch', and there's the most
feared gangster in the land,

1073
01:11:18,789 --> 01:11:20,989
fast asleep and on his tod.

1074
01:11:20,989 --> 01:11:23,949
And what is your deduction,
Detective Stephens?

1075
01:11:23,949 --> 01:11:26,549
Well, somebody must have tipped
Mister Lovell off.

1076
01:11:26,549 --> 01:11:30,989
But who'd tip off a PC who'd only
been in the job six months?

1077
01:11:30,989 --> 01:11:33,069
Yeah. Who indeed?

1078
01:11:34,829 --> 01:11:37,109
Oh, I almost forgot.

1079
01:11:37,109 --> 01:11:40,789
Forensic report for you, sir.
Ah! Did they run a DNA match?

1080
01:11:40,789 --> 01:11:42,749
Very droll, sir.

1081
01:11:46,309 --> 01:11:48,269
It's the way you tell 'em.

1082
01:11:48,269 --> 01:11:51,349
Listen, erm, I've had a thought
about Roper's computer.

1083
01:11:51,349 --> 01:11:53,189
Did you. What about it?

1084
01:11:53,189 --> 01:11:55,989
The bag and the power lead were
still on the floor

1085
01:11:55,989 --> 01:11:58,309
when we were called to
the Dower House.

1086
01:11:58,309 --> 01:12:01,789
Yeah, so? The bag's in the evidence
room with the rest of his stuff,

1087
01:12:01,789 --> 01:12:03,789
but the mains lead is nowhere
to be found.

1088
01:12:05,189 --> 01:12:08,229
You think someone at the Dower House
snaffled it?

1089
01:12:08,229 --> 01:12:11,949
Well, The Creeper's never nicked
anything like that before, has he?

1090
01:12:11,949 --> 01:12:15,109
If one of the Chetthams did take the
laptop...

1091
01:12:15,109 --> 01:12:18,029
It might still be at the
Dower House.

1092
01:12:19,189 --> 01:12:23,069
Let's get a search warrant, shake
the tree and see what falls out.

1093
01:12:23,069 --> 01:12:25,069
Yes, sir.

1094
01:12:25,069 --> 01:12:26,829
Oh, what was that about DNA match?

1095
01:12:26,829 --> 01:12:30,029
Oh, yes. The hair.

1096
01:12:36,309 --> 01:12:37,629
Anything?

1097
01:12:39,709 --> 01:12:41,149
No.

1098
01:12:41,149 --> 01:12:43,029
No. Nothing.

1099
01:12:55,065 --> 01:12:57,385
Thanks for this.
It's much appreciated.

1100
01:12:57,385 --> 01:12:59,625
Tallis likes you.
That's good enough for me.

1101
01:12:59,625 --> 01:13:01,785
Despite what happened yesterday?

1102
01:13:01,785 --> 01:13:04,545
It had to come out sooner or later.
I'm glad it has.

1103
01:13:04,545 --> 01:13:07,865
It must be very...hard for you,
Freddy.

1104
01:13:07,865 --> 01:13:09,825
Sometimes I...

1105
01:13:09,825 --> 01:13:11,745
Sometimes you what?

1106
01:13:11,745 --> 01:13:13,625
Oh, nothing.

1107
01:13:14,785 --> 01:13:16,785
Here we are.

1108
01:13:16,785 --> 01:13:19,145
OK. Give us a couple of minutes.
(HORSE SNORTS)

1109
01:13:24,825 --> 01:13:26,265
Hiya!

1110
01:13:26,265 --> 01:13:27,545
Hey.

1111
01:13:30,105 --> 01:13:32,545
How's Sid? Lonely.

1112
01:13:32,545 --> 01:13:35,785
Hm. And how are you, Tallis?

1113
01:13:35,785 --> 01:13:38,785
Me? Worried about Freddy.

1114
01:13:38,785 --> 01:13:40,945
So many people to please.

1115
01:13:40,945 --> 01:13:43,425
It's bad enough having one dad,
nevermind two.

1116
01:13:44,585 --> 01:13:46,985
Yesterday, up at the Hall,

1117
01:13:46,985 --> 01:13:49,025
you seemed a little disappointed.

1118
01:13:49,025 --> 01:13:50,825
Did I? Yes, you did.

1119
01:13:50,825 --> 01:13:54,065
As if you were expecting to hear
something else from me.

1120
01:13:57,025 --> 01:14:00,025
Deoxyribonucleic acid.

1121
01:14:00,025 --> 01:14:01,825
DNA.

1122
01:14:01,825 --> 01:14:05,545
It's wonderful stuff, that.
Is it? Yes, it is.

1123
01:14:05,545 --> 01:14:07,945
It's amazing how much information
you can glean

1124
01:14:07,945 --> 01:14:11,025
from the tiniest particle.
Like a hair.

1125
01:14:11,025 --> 01:14:15,025
It's all you need to single out one
person from millions of others.

1126
01:14:15,025 --> 01:14:16,985
Or one animal.

1127
01:14:16,985 --> 01:14:19,465
An animal? Like a fox.

1128
01:14:22,705 --> 01:14:24,225
Tallis...

1129
01:14:25,705 --> 01:14:31,145
The Creeper kindly delivered a
picture to my house.

1130
01:14:31,145 --> 01:14:35,545
And there was a tiny hair
caught in the frame.

1131
01:14:35,545 --> 01:14:39,425
I think the picture was a message.

1132
01:14:39,425 --> 01:14:41,385
What about?

1133
01:14:41,385 --> 01:14:44,625
About something that happened
25 years ago.

1134
01:14:48,065 --> 01:14:51,345
Maybe The Creeper was
in someone's house one night

1135
01:14:51,345 --> 01:14:55,865
and overheard something.
Like a weird phone conversation.

1136
01:14:55,865 --> 01:14:59,505
DOCTOR GORING: You don't understand.
If it came out, I could be struck
off.

1137
01:14:59,505 --> 01:15:02,665
FEMALE VOICE: 'For the sake
of the family -' No.
'Sylvia -' Absolutely not.

1138
01:15:02,665 --> 01:15:05,185
I simply cannot go on like this.

1139
01:15:06,785 --> 01:15:08,705
Oh, I see.

1140
01:15:10,105 --> 01:15:14,265
So, you think The Creeper was hoping
that I would discover the truth?

1141
01:15:14,265 --> 01:15:16,385
And have you?

1142
01:15:16,385 --> 01:15:18,305
I'm not sure.

1143
01:15:20,825 --> 01:15:24,345
What are you going to do about
The Creeper? Don't know.

1144
01:15:24,345 --> 01:15:26,505
I can't go to the
Crown Prosecution Service

1145
01:15:26,505 --> 01:15:28,905
and say that my chief suspect
is a fox, can I?

1146
01:15:28,905 --> 01:15:30,825
I suppose not. No.

1147
01:15:33,905 --> 01:15:38,425
If I could be sure that The Creeper
was going to stop creeping...

1148
01:15:38,425 --> 01:15:42,545
and the stolen property returned
in good order...

1149
01:15:42,545 --> 01:15:44,425
to the police...

1150
01:15:45,785 --> 01:15:47,705
That would be a start.

1151
01:15:49,105 --> 01:15:51,985
I bet The Creeper would be very
interested to hear that.

1152
01:16:00,705 --> 01:16:03,425
David was alive...that night.

1153
01:16:03,425 --> 01:16:06,505
'After Rupert knocked him out.
I know he was.'

1154
01:16:12,385 --> 01:16:15,145
He was alive when I took him back
to the Dower House.

1155
01:16:15,145 --> 01:16:17,145
And later too, when he was in bed.

1156
01:16:26,305 --> 01:16:28,025
'I checked.'

1157
01:16:28,025 --> 01:16:29,945
'He was still breathing.'

1158
01:16:35,225 --> 01:16:37,425
I should've tried to do more
for him.

1159
01:16:37,425 --> 01:16:39,785
It wasn't your fault, Tallis.

1160
01:16:45,305 --> 01:16:47,265
Pleasant walk, sir?

1161
01:16:47,265 --> 01:16:49,985
Very pleasant indeed, thank you,
Jones.

1162
01:16:49,985 --> 01:16:53,265
Right. Let's go and stir up
the Chetthams.

1163
01:16:54,545 --> 01:16:56,465
I'm afraid it's gonna have to wait.

1164
01:16:56,465 --> 01:16:58,065
Why?

1165
01:16:58,065 --> 01:17:00,345
The Chief Constable wants
to see you.

1166
01:17:00,345 --> 01:17:02,225
Oh, he does, does he?

1167
01:17:03,305 --> 01:17:04,865
Good.

1168
01:17:06,025 --> 01:17:07,345
Good?

1169
01:17:22,425 --> 01:17:23,745
Mm-hm.

1170
01:17:25,625 --> 01:17:27,265
Barnaby.

1171
01:17:27,265 --> 01:17:29,385
I want a progress report on the
er...

1172
01:17:29,385 --> 01:17:30,985
The Creeper, Sir.

1173
01:17:32,305 --> 01:17:36,585
The housebreaking epidemic which is
making a nonsense of my targets.

1174
01:17:38,185 --> 01:17:41,305
Sir, there have been two suspicious
deaths.

1175
01:17:41,305 --> 01:17:43,145
I'm aware of that.

1176
01:17:43,145 --> 01:17:45,145
And one of 'em...

1177
01:17:45,145 --> 01:17:47,225
was David Roper.

1178
01:17:47,225 --> 01:17:49,225
The author of this book.

1179
01:17:49,225 --> 01:17:51,065
I'm assuming that er,

1180
01:17:51,065 --> 01:17:53,585
David Roper consulted you
when he was writing this book,

1181
01:17:53,585 --> 01:17:55,665
because after all, it was you

1182
01:17:55,665 --> 01:17:58,665
that finally brought Harry Godbolt
to justice, wasn't it?

1183
01:17:58,665 --> 01:18:01,385
We may have had a telephone
conversation, yes.

1184
01:18:01,385 --> 01:18:04,385
But then you probably already knew
David Roper,

1185
01:18:04,385 --> 01:18:08,305
because you were at university
with him, were you not? Was I?

1186
01:18:08,305 --> 01:18:10,385
Along with Jack Filby,
the Chetthams,

1187
01:18:10,385 --> 01:18:14,225
and...Doctor Sylvia Goring.
Barnaby, what are you driving at?

1188
01:18:14,225 --> 01:18:17,825
I'm trying to clarify the situation
before I write my report.

1189
01:18:18,945 --> 01:18:21,825
You know how people jump to
conclusions.

1190
01:18:21,825 --> 01:18:24,385
Make connections that do not exist.

1191
01:18:30,025 --> 01:18:33,065
That crowd were out of my league
at university, Barnaby.

1192
01:18:33,065 --> 01:18:35,505
I didn't really know any of them.

1193
01:18:35,505 --> 01:18:37,625
Except Isobel.

1194
01:18:37,625 --> 01:18:39,545
Extraordinary woman.

1195
01:18:40,625 --> 01:18:42,745
Yeah, I admit I was an admirer.

1196
01:18:42,745 --> 01:18:45,265
I didn't stand a chance, of course.

1197
01:18:45,265 --> 01:18:48,225
But we became friends, of sorts.

1198
01:18:48,225 --> 01:18:50,225
And she trusted me.

1199
01:18:50,225 --> 01:18:52,145
So.

1200
01:18:52,145 --> 01:18:55,425
I'd only been on the beat for
six months when she got in touch.

1201
01:18:55,425 --> 01:18:57,865
She was in a terrible state.

1202
01:18:57,865 --> 01:18:59,785
What, because of erm...?

1203
01:18:59,785 --> 01:19:02,425
I didn't ask what the circumstances
were, Barnaby.

1204
01:19:03,545 --> 01:19:06,105
Godbolt had been on the run
for months.

1205
01:19:06,105 --> 01:19:10,705
She told me where I could find him.
Alone and unguarded.

1206
01:19:10,705 --> 01:19:12,865
What could I do?

1207
01:19:12,865 --> 01:19:15,905
Here was a great opportunity.
To make your name.

1208
01:19:15,905 --> 01:19:18,305
To put away a dangerous criminal,
Barnaby.

1209
01:19:18,305 --> 01:19:21,105
Oh, yes, sir. Of course. I'm sorry.

1210
01:19:21,105 --> 01:19:23,745
I saw no reason why her name
should be mentioned.

1211
01:19:23,745 --> 01:19:25,625
And I still don't.

1212
01:19:33,105 --> 01:19:36,305
Oh. Barnaby. It's you.

1213
01:19:36,305 --> 01:19:38,985
Sir William,
I'm so sorry to bother you again.

1214
01:19:40,465 --> 01:19:43,065
Yes, I'm sure you are.

1215
01:19:54,185 --> 01:19:57,785
David's laptop? Mm-hm.
I thought the burglar took it.

1216
01:19:57,785 --> 01:20:02,785
Well, we're not sure now. We think
Mister Roper might've tucked it away
somewhere for safety.

1217
01:20:02,785 --> 01:20:05,065
Here at the Dower House? Yes.

1218
01:20:05,065 --> 01:20:06,865
Now, I know you wouldn't mind me
er...

1219
01:20:06,865 --> 01:20:10,425
having a look around, but I've got
a search warrant here anyway.

1220
01:20:10,425 --> 01:20:13,625
We have to do everything by the book
these days.

1221
01:20:13,625 --> 01:20:15,865
Grubbing around in other people's
affairs.

1222
01:20:15,865 --> 01:20:17,865
And when would you want to do this,
Inspector?

1223
01:20:17,865 --> 01:20:20,425
Now, if that would be convenient.

1224
01:20:20,425 --> 01:20:22,345
You never give up, do you?

1225
01:20:22,345 --> 01:20:24,265
No, it's irritating, isn't it?

1226
01:20:24,265 --> 01:20:26,465
My Lady. (PHONE RINGS)

1227
01:20:26,465 --> 01:20:28,465
Oh! I'm so sorry.

1228
01:20:28,465 --> 01:20:30,105
Excuse me.

1229
01:20:31,185 --> 01:20:32,505

1230
01:20:33,545 --> 01:20:34,865
Yes.

1231
01:20:37,505 --> 01:20:39,265
Yeah, well, of course. Right away.

1232
01:20:42,385 --> 01:20:44,985
I'm very sorry er, but something
erm, seems to have come up.

1233
01:20:46,425 --> 01:20:48,345
Now, look, it's er,
it's getting late.

1234
01:20:49,465 --> 01:20:52,305
How about if I send a team round
tomorrow?

1235
01:21:07,865 --> 01:21:09,865
We'll give it a couple of hours.

01:22:26,145 --> 01:22:28,385
You drove me off the road!

1241
01:22:28,385 --> 01:22:30,865
I shall make a complaint.

1242
01:22:30,865 --> 01:22:33,825
Of course you will, Lady Chettham.
As soon as we've looked inside.

1243
01:22:33,825 --> 01:22:35,705
You step out of the car, please.

1244
01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:43,640
Freddy was born 25 years ago.

biological parents of a child...

wasn't generally available then.

1247
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:54,640
We've told you the situation
regarding Freddy.

1248
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:58,640
What's DNA testing to do with it?
I need my pills.

01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:01,800
Sergeant Jones will be down with
THEM shortly.

1250
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:04,560
Why all the interest in Elizabeth's
medication, may I ask?

1251
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:09,320
David Roper took a lot
of painkillers the night he died.

1252
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:11,880
We just want to establish
where he got 'em from.

1253
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:13,640
You still haven't answered my
question

1254
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:15,320
about DNA testing, Inspector.

1255
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:18,680
Well, maybe...Lady Chettham could.

1256
01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:22,640
I haven't the faintest idea
what you're talking about.

1257
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:24,800
And then maybe you could er,

1258
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:29,440
tell your husband about your part
in the arrest of Harry Godbolt.

1259
01:23:29,440 --> 01:23:32,480
What? I want my pills.

1260
01:23:32,480 --> 01:23:35,240
This is intolerable, treating
an elderly woman like this.

1261
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:37,160
I'll get them myself.
Sit DOWN, Isobel.

What's this about Harry Godbolt?

1263
01:23:48,480 --> 01:23:54,560
Sir William, David Roper visited
Harry Godbolt regularly in prison

1264

when he was ghosting Godbolt's
autobiography.

1265
01:23:57,400 --> 01:24:00,120
Godbolt was terminally ill.

..with
the beautiful wife of the baronet.

that it was you who turned him over
to the police?

1277

Yes, all right.

1285
01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:05,880
I gave David some pills.

1286
01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:09,480
He came to my room.
He forced me to hand them over.

1287

He came to your room, did he?
Yes, now give them to me.

could hardly stand? Give them to me!

01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:05,480
That...

1372
01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:09,040
Pretty good job to me.

1373
01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:10,920
What about The Creeper?

1374
01:32:10,920 --> 01:32:14,080
The Creeper, Joyce, well.
The case is still open.

1375
01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:15,960
But I have a feeling...

1376
01:32:15,960 --> 01:32:18,760
The Creeper won't be bothering us
again.

1377
01:32:21,120 --> 01:32:23,200
How do you know?

1378
01:32:23,200 --> 01:32:25,160
Instinct, Joyce.

1379
01:32:26,200 --> 01:32:27,520
Instinct.

1380
01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:34,280
