sharpened up with him and he was Brave and handsome and his name was s persal prelot s persal prelot that's right he was the kindest most handsome man in the whole Kingdom and whenever there was a dragon to kill the king sent him so while the king sat in his castle counting his money no for God's sake just get on with it frasia so peral put on his sword and his armor and set off on his quest he had to go on his own because all the other Knights were too scared to go with him they all hated dragons even more than they hated the king here take a SE not too much do you want me to go on they all hated dragons even more than they hated the king you read that right anyway the next day the peral got up early and set off the dragon that the king had chosen lived in a dark cave on the other side of the Crimson Forest and not one person who had approached it had ever been seen again the dragon would swallow them whole with a great fiery G but sir peral wasn't afraid he rode to the cave and

wife Tara Cavendish went missing yesterday morning not 24 hours ago uniform around here yesterday but when she still hadn't shown up this morning they passed it on to us the organized the search yeah the woods the countryside they're out there now well I suppose I better have a word with Mr Cavendish I should warn you sir he's not what you called an easy man it's about time you people took this seriously what rank did you say you were detective Chief Inspector sir well you could have turned up yesterday but then I expect youd take your weekends off what time did your wife leave the house yesterday Mr Cavendish I've already told him all that yes I know you have but if you don't mind well what's he for she went out at A4 to 8 she normally only goes out for about an hour so at 10:00 I began to be worried about her but at midday the dog comes back on its own and that's when you first reported it to the police yes that's right not that that did much good do you think she may have fallen sir I don't know what happened to her I just wanted to be found Tara Cavendish Fair hair slim 5 fo5 wearing a green anarak age 35 yes young man she is my second wife my first wife and I were divorced I see you have an interest in the war Mr kevish oh yes well he uh there mark certainly the greatest fighting force ever assembled Swift ruthless do you know what that is that is an iron cross first class from the MS General von reichenau sixth Army a superb campaign I brought you some tea sir thank you this is Mrs Wilson my cook housekeeper these gentlemen are police officers oh is there any news here no sir I did see her leave yesterday morning just before 8 oh and that was the last time you saw her yes sir but when I made her breakfast at half 7 she did mention that she'd be walking over to the Old Quarry why the Quarry she never normally walks there she told you specifically that's where she was going oh yes sir but why why mention it at all I have no idea sir she just said that's where she'd be that's the long and the tall of it and then about 20 minutes later she [Music] left if she was walking near a quarry maybe she slipped and fell in yeah it's always Possible Oh there's a face I recognize Charles Jennings badges drift I remember him he was on the game wasn't he a bum [Applause] boy sir someone smashed their head in eight or more blows shattered the skull time of death sometime in the last 24 hours or so yeah well we knew that but do you know what they used a cricket bat true play I'm not a fan of the game myself just as well really this is enough to put you off for life it was a c cricket match in the village last Sly there's a local League sir all the villages play next week Fletchers are playing Midsummer worthy you're very well up in local sporting fixtures try yeah as a matter of go on nothing think could a woman have done this a man woman could have been either really anything else can't help you I'm afraid uh the ground's dry so you're not going to get any Footprints maybe you'll get something off the bat but somehow I doubt it oh God oh no no no there will have to be a formal identification sir but oh would help us if you would answer some questions now no we can come back later if you prefer no no no we've wasted enough time already if you started looking for her yesterday we I reported her missing what do you want to know did she have any enemies sir no Tyler wasn't that kind of person Tyler was that was my wife that's all would you have been wearing any jewelry when she went out or carrying anything of value no she was walking the dog Robert what's happened has Tara been found uh excuse me you are Jane Cavendish my daughter-in-law is she all right um no Mrs Cavendish we found a body in the woods answering to her description what dead oh yes oh oh I mean that's terrible what happened Mrs cender seems to have been attacked we found a cricket bat by the body a true play fairly new TR clay yes a black handle with a red top yes that's Steven's bad Steven well I mean he does have a b likeing my husband I bought him a bat like it at the start of the season but um I'm sure it isn't the same bat I mean it couldn't be Mr Barnaby oh Mrs Cooper expect to see you so soon do you work here I'm Mr cavendish's secretary yes so are you thinking of interior design of your new home no I'm actually here on official business I'm Mr Cavendish I'm detective Chief Inspector Barnaby from coron CID and I'm afraid I have some rather bad news it's just unbelievable no one would want to kill Tara it must just have been some nuts out in the wood sir we understand that you own a true play cricket bat it has a black handle with a red top yes what about it we think it may be the weapon that killed your stepmother what she was killed with a cricket bat yes oh my Lord if it was your B can you explain to us how it came to be taken from you now no I keep it in the downstairs L do many people have access to the house not really the doors's never locked anyone could have come in I don't suppose you can tell us where you were on Sunday morning sir between about 7:00 and 9: Sunday morning you were at home perhaps with your wife yes uh actually I went out for a couple of hours I came in here to do some work I'd um got behind with the invoices I was here until about 12 that's funny that's someone else I've seen before Steven C yeah he was at the pub on Saturday in a passionate embrace with someone who was not his wife as long as it wasn't Charles Jenning Mr Barnaby this is Cooper I had to speak to you and I don't like to be disloyal please don't get me wrong wrong but what he said Mr Cavendish it wasn't true I'm sorry he was never here on Sunday I'm always the first to arrive in a Monday if anyone had been in I would have known anyway the invoices are perfectly up to date I do them myself so you're telling us Mr Cavendish was lying I don't like to and I don't want to but Colin and I were both Born Again Christians and the truth is very important to us whatsoever things are honest whatsoever things are true think on these things that's what Jesus said so you see I had to tell you I had to do what's right well thank you Mrs coer I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason though I mean why he told you that he may not be what you'd call a a good or a kind person but I'm sure he wouldn't hurt anyone I'm sure he wouldn't thank you not good not kind it's his cricket bat and he's lying do you want to go back and arrest him now no think I fancy a drink Christine I just spped outside Mr CSH he spoke to Mr Barnaby whatever his name is yes he's buying our house well he might be um came to see it last Saturday Steven what when did it happen yes of course I do whatever you want well well well Mr Jennings in Mr bar Barnaby you remember me you I'm not likely to Forget You am I didn't we see you working at the hall yeah I've got a job there 4 days a week I've got a room here so I help out now and then you're keeping yourself out of trouble here aren't you gentleman being served half a bit for me please and Troy you're driving lemonade please so what's this you're not telling me try sir something to do with Cricket I think Fletcher cross versus Midsummer worthy that's a bit embarrassing if you want the truth I do well you see I've be trying to take a bit more exercise you know it comes to us all Troy anyway I answered then had an a cost an echo cricket players wanted used to be a bit of a dab hand at school and I thought that something to do at the weekends and I'm opening the batty for Midsummer worthy next week if the game isn't canceled is there any reason why it should be oh well that's just it Robert Cavendish is the captain of the Fletchers cross team and last Saturday our captain his name's Ian Frasier was talking about him he said Cavendish was an evil bastard and then he said I'm going to kill him well he was talking about Robert Cavendish yeah and he was using the words in a sporting sense yeah but there's obviously some sort of Grudge between them anyway I suppose I'd better back down from the team no not at all Troy I'd say you were ideally placed if there is something to uncover Zelda when's tea tea I haven't got time for thaty and I'm doing these they're going to be all over the village tomorrow 200 of them and they're going up in Midsummer worthy and Badgers drift too are you sure it's appropriate appropriate after the death Tara Cavendish was an empty head upstart who loved playing Queen of the manor her death doesn't matter a jot these foot paths are 400 years old I still don't see no of course you don't you were there on Sunday morning weren't you the Cavendish estate did you see her did you leave me alone Ian please I'm busy there last night's nut wrists in the fridge you can heat them up in the arer all [Music] right what are you so worried about you haven't said a word all evening it's meant this is all about that policeman isn't it Barnaby he came to the house then he came to the office he's not interested in us he's meant to call in I know it is he's going to find out come on flopsy he's not going to find out I'll look after you I need to be punished I'll punish you I want to be hurt I'll hurt you behold I was shapen in wickedness and in sin hath my mother conceived me hurt [Music] you Trish you know that old TI party you got in the office do you think I could borrow it yeah as long as you don't drop it cheers good [Music] night [Music] a [Music] we've just taken the particulars of a property that might interest you Mrs Barnaby it's a converted post office in Fletcher's cross very unusual two bedrooms a nice view of the green yes it looks very nice Miss um Bo vazan ah how did you find Portland Place we're still thinking about it well of course I wouldn't wish to hurry you but uh these properties do get snapped up very quickly would you like me to arrange a viewing of D mein I'm sorry the the post office good morning Troy morning sir what have we got Robert Cavendish used to run a quarrying company but he closed it down 9 years ago was very unexpected apparently a lot of job losses he good one he married his second wife around the same time and then he was on the cricket bat Steven C has confirmed it's his no Prince though we got the PM report through from Peterson time of death 9:00 Sunday morning oh and this might interest you Country Life Troy that's a bit out of my league that there's a picture of the horse Robert cavish his place it seems he put it on the market just before his wife died I think we should talk to his son first [Music] Mrs Wilson oh that's right sir yes I work up at the hall but I do two days a week for young Mr Cavendish too is there any news yet sir about Mrs Cavendish I mean not yet I'm afraid it's a terrible thing and it happened just the day after his birthday birthday too his birthday yes Mr cavenger senior he was 60 years old and then this is Steven Cavendish in no sir he's just nipped out with the dog but uh Mrs Cavendish is here Mrs Wilson who is it Robert did mention that he was going to sell the hall he was talking about Orlando actually of course that was Tara's idea I mean Orlando what are the next did you and she get on Mrs cish I suppose so no I never really liked her to be honest I know that's a wicked thing to say but why should I lie it's not as if I murdered her Queen not for me Tara was so young and so pretty and so slim she had a way of looking down that little nose of hers didn't really like her at all although Robert Ador her I don't know why you were at home on your own the morning she died yes I was in bed biscuit no I won't either maybe just one to be honest with you I was quite surprised her walking around the Quarry oh why is that well you must know the stories no the Quarry is supposed to be cursed cursed that's what everybody says first there was the accident that was a long time ago Robert used to blast there and then it was only about well 18 months ago poor Miss beas Miss be she was the house keep her before Mrs Wilson she used to take the dog out sometimes and one day she went out and she never came back just like Tara she was killed well it was an accident the police said that she slipped and fell but that's why it was so strange Tara walking there just not a very nice place Steven Mr bab sir I wonder if I could uh have another word with you yes of course I had a feeling you might be back what I told you the other day your whereabouts on Sunday morning yes well the point is I know I shouldn't have but I didn't actually tell you the truth I wasn't at the office I was with a friend a young friend wasn't by any chance a young lady at the Queen's arms yes her name's Trish Patricia Smith actually she and I are well yes sir well she doesn't know anyone here you see she only came to the Village about a year ago from London all on her own she and I just sort of hit it off were you with her all morning sir yes I got there about 8 she's a room at the pub I was with her until 11: and the young lady will confirm all this yes yes of course I'd just be grateful if it went no further you do understand oh yes sir we understand perfectly [Music] so what do they want they were asking questions you told them it was my bad didn't you why I don't know do you want to see me arrested and sent to jail what you in prison for 30 years and me having to start a new life all on my own there St can't imagine anything worse lovy woman [Applause] advertising Our intention to break the law and nobody does a damn thing about it but then of course you can commit murder in this part of the world and still get away with it we're doing everything we can sir right what you want with me then we understand that your wife wanted you to sell the hall sir yes it was her idea but I was in perfect agreement did your son and daughter-in-law have any say in the matter Steven and Jane why on Earth should they it's my property without me there business would have gone down the pan years ago did they know about the sale yes I told them the night before you think they're killed her to stop it going ahead that's absurd is that what you think we are pursuing several lines of inquiries sir you're wasting time I tell you something it might actually be worth your knowing the night before she went missing your birthday yes there was somebody spying on us outside that window the dog barked knew it was somebody that's what he's there for did you see who it was dog must have frightened them off but if it was some sort of stalker pull [Applause] pull thank you sir we look into it well that's all is it there is just one more thing a year and a half ago your housekeeper was involved in an accident at the Quarry Miss Beav yes she died what's that got to do with anything you don't see any parallel no well I do this Miss beavus takes your dog for a walk in the Quarry and she fails to come back and then she's found dead 18 months later exactly the same thing happens to your wife but miss Beav fell I'd still be interested to know what else you can tell me about us sir I can't tell you anything about her she was a housekeeper now then young man miss beis has a sister still lives in the village since your inquiries plainly going nowhere you might just as well go and waste some time talking to her [Music] right [Music] so wasn't that yes as it was oh please Lord not Fletcher's cross I suppose you're here about poor Mrs Cavendish I couldn't believe it when I read it in the news newspaper are you sure it was murder are you sure it couldn't have been an accident oh I don't think so dear dear dear but I don't see how I can help we wanted to ask you about your late sister Emily I don't suppose you could tell us anything about her death she fell into the Quarry it was Mr Cooper that found her Colin Cooper oh they knew each other did they oh yes they were quite good friends she wrote to me about him once I could find the letter for you if you like yes that might be very helpful Miss beas I don't suppose you could tell us was there anything suspicious about your sister's death suspicious oh no nothing though she did phone me the night before said she wanted to see me did she say why no and now that you mention it I did think it was strange that she went so close to that quarry's edge she was always terrified of Heights and then there was the business of the Breakin the break-in yes somebody broke into her house this house the same day that she died it didn't look as if anything was taken but it was still a very unhappy coincidence yes but suspicious Mr Barnaby oh no there was nothing suspicious at all where T sir coron I think but there's somewhere I want to stop off on the way I suppose he told you about us did he yes Steven doesn't love his wife you know there's been nothing between them for years I still wish it was out in the open though he wants to marry me you know oh why doesn't he then it's all them at the hall isn't it Mr to Cavendish and Tara when she was alive well they're all such snobs so what time did Steven Cavendish arrive on Sunday morning he got here at 5 8 he left at 11:20 you're very precise got a good head for figures but the long and Tall of it is he was with me all morning so he couldn't have been at the Quarry if that's what you're thinking was she there yes she was and she's lying and there's something else you drive it'll come to [Music] me Mr C Mr Barnaby this is a surprise oh why is that you know I'm pursuing a murder investigation yes but that's got nothing to do with me has it we wanted to ask you some questions about the death of Emily beis Emily but I thought that was an accident and it happened ages ago you found her yes it was horrible I still pray for her she was a friend of mine and you used to help her I tried to be a good neighbor Mr Barnaby that's what it says in the Bible but I I don't understand Mr Cooper I wonder if you'd uh mind coming to the Quarry with us I'd be very interested to know exactly what you saw [Music] I wasn't on my own Christine was with me we often used to come here we like the birds the wild flowers so you were walking yes it was Saturday afternoon about four Kaiser oh Kaiser do come we heard Emily calling the dog come so quiet around here you can hear everything we didn't take any notice of her though she could have been miles away and anyway we wanted to be on our own to meditate together and where exactly were you meditating Mr Cooper I'll show [Music] you just there and then the next thing we knew we heard this scream I swear to God that I could see her eyes as she came down could see right into her soul she hit the ground head first we could see at once that she was dead there was nothing we could [Music] do that was where she hid it was 4:16 a watch was smashed in the FL so that's how they knew so what happened next we ran to the car drove off and called the police why are you asking all this it was an accident I think you should let us be the judge of that Mr Cooper do you believe him I believe he thinks it was an accident that Emily beas fell but you don't oh Troy look at the evidence For Heaven's Sake two deaths in identical circumstances in exactly the same place yeah and even without the death of Tara Cavendish use your eyes look how far she traveled for a start she didn't come straight down she came down in an ark that's not a fall more like a running jump and she landed head first yeah so if she had just gone too close to the edge she'd have come down feet first not in a dive but she wouldn't have gone too close to the edge she was scared of heights so either she jumped on purpose or else somebody pushed her you know what I think Troy yes sir Emily beavus was murdered and by the same person or persons who killed Tara cendes the only thing is I cannot for the life of me see [Music] [Applause] why [Music] [Applause] Cen how was the journey long where's Dad he said he'd be here he's bad to be late you know what he's like when he's on a Case how's the house hunting oh I feel like you're father I'm not getting anywhere here he is now sorry I'm late so you decided to come home early have you ni's on a tour the flats got a leak and I was missing you that's what I like to hear that's all you got I'm only staying for a couple of days dad well that's still reason to celebrate should we have dinner out so you're not moving to Fletcher's cross then I went to see a converted post office yesterday and it was ghastly the letter box was about the only original feature left and what about the case mom told me what was her name Tara Cavendish bludgeon to death with a cricket P I'd have been less surprised if it had been our husband Robert who' come to a sticky end what's wrong with him oh he's a sort of man you can't help disliking he owned the Quarry that seems to be the center of everything he closed it down there were redundancies you don't kill someone because they made you redundant not in the town dear but this is the country and in the country anything goes good night a see you tomorrow re you take care all set for the game then gar yeah although I'm surprised it's still on you read about the murder then yeah quite a bit they got the wrong target they should have got him Robert Cavendish you knew him I knew him you fancy a drink I'd like that I'm just 5 minutes away I used to work for Cavendish I was the Quarry manager just outside the village that was when he ran the company you have been reading up on him just interested well uh maybe you know about the accident then someone was hurt killed I doubt they felt a thing we were late you see we were exporting to France Holland all over the place and we were having trouble keeping up with the orders and that day we were supposed to be blasting but there was a fault in The Wire one of the charges didn't go off now there are special procedures in this eventuality we should have shut down evacuated the place and called in the proper people no for God's sake just get on with it Frasier Cavendish was always on my back I knew what he'd say late with an order lose a customer time efficiency that's all that mattered to him so I persuaded one of the men to try and sort it out his name was Matthew Draper I never forget it 36 years old married with a [Music] kid there was an investigation of course and I was the one who took the RP and they were right it was my fault I lost my license and my job Cavendish never gave me any help and no support Financial or otherwise and then just nine weeks later he shut down the Quarry he'd been planning it all along not a word to any of us and a man had Di for nothing we will leave at 2:00 tomorrow on the dot we will be following the path from this point here just beyond the lane it's a 2hour walk of which 30 minutes will be on the Cavendish estate any questions will we get across the mirr it's been quite wet recently well I checked the path last week and it all seemed perfectly manageable except for one section and there's a bridge anything else so until tomorrow at two then and remember it is our land it is our footpath it is our [Applause] right I've pulled the file on Emily beis it's actually 17 months ago she died no reason to suspect Foul Play Emily beus was just a housekeeper wasn't as if anyone benefited from her death apart from her sister Dorene well she inherited the house I can't see Dorene beas pushing her sister into a quarry can you what other motive could there have been well this the Breakin there's a note on here Cooper called the police

his place and I'd just like to thank Colin Cooper who has agreed to step in as 11th man at the last minute that's it I know it's not pleasant to think of a death in the village but um Life Goes [Music] On [Music] [Music] so Ian Frasier used to work for Robert cabish huh until the accident yes the exit what was the name again Matthew Draper Matthew Draper Emily beas Tara Cavendish three and natural death Troy and all in the same place no wonder the locals say the quarry's Cur I'll handle this Troy you better go and get changed all right and try not to end up the way I feel about this

wondering about that letter you mentioned letter yes from your sister oh yes I have it here I kept all her letters I don't know why this is it it's about Dad's coins I'm sorry that was how Mr Cooper helped her she asked him to look at Dad's coin collection Emily thought some of them might be valuable and she was quite right they are how valuable some of them were worth2 each but I wouldn't sell them Emily wouldn't have wanted me to and Colin Cooper valued them for her yes he's a kind man very kind [Music] just remember people have been walking this path since the time of Henry [Music] VII good afternoon Mr Frasier hello y Co hey tell it is we'll bat first you look comfortable come sit down I will let just cross on the toss oh here comes [Applause] Troy yep [Music] well done Troy you told me c for he obviously has hidden [Music] talents this [Music] way this way everyone it's quite dry after [Music] this [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] this one no that wasn't a four [Music] Mr Cavendish do you think you could ask someone to take a cup of tea over to the scoring shed for me I'll do it oh that's very kind of [Music] you by the way Tom I think I found the perfect house oh no it's a lovely Cottage in badges drift it's got two bedrooms two living rooms and a conservatory Conservatory sounds like something out of clud though Colonel Mustard with the Candlestick in the conservatory tomorrow afternoon 4:00 won't be late what are they clapping you for not very much I'm afraid you came out after all Robert yeah o you've got blood on you have you cut yourself yes she caught my hand on a nail [Music] [Music] musty [Music] I thought I saw Steven go into the scoring shed he was carrying a cup of tea so I went over to see him and when you got there there was no one there maybe I was wrong maybe it wasn't Steve what did you see I looked inside and he was just lying there Charles Jennings first I thought he was asleep Miss Smith you told me that Steven Cavendish came to the pub at 5 minutes past 8 last Sunday morning now I want you to think very carefully about this are you sure that was the right time I don't know maybe it was later I told you what he wanted me to to say please don't ask me anymore I was in here Mrs Wilson asked me to take a cup of tea to the scoring shed I took it I gave it to him he said thank you I left thank you tar something like that according to Mrs Wilson it was you who offered to take the tea yes maybe I don't know she asked and I just happened to be there do you recognize this sir yes it's one of my fathers why didn't you talk to him he was at the match he came out of nowhere and he had blood on him anyway I had no reason to kill Charles Jennings we found this in his pocket so we had cash £500 in cash sir a lot of cash sir were you and Charles Jennings involved in a relationship of a sexual nature don't be disgusting you didn't give him any money no look I'm not going to say anymore until I've spoken to my solicitor that might be a good idea sir sir thank you I saw what happened in the Quarry I was watching Mrs Cavendish and I know who killed her I don't want to go to the police but I do want money I want £500 in cash before the end of the week or else it looks as though we've got our mans there his try it looks as if we [Music] have you are going to formally charge step Cavendish you're infinitives are splitting Troy what yes I will chargeing for once I'm going to exactly do the wrong thing Steven cavish killed Charles Jennings oh did he he was seen going into the scoring shed and he was the last person to see Charles Jennings alive he had access to the murder weapon and then there's a letter we found in his house Jennings was trying to Blackmail Steven over the murder in the Quarry Steven killed Tara Cavendish to stop her selling the hall you got it all worked out Troy then there's the lab report on the money we found on Charles jenning's body Steven's fingerprints were found on three of the notes tens or 20s tens does he make any difference just made it's all too need too straightforward and there are some questions you haven't answered such as Steven Cavendish is a very rich man at least he is on the face of it and if we're to believe the letter he has committed the act of murder so why did Charles Jennings ask for so little £500 it's nothing that' be a first installment well even as a first installment tro he could have asked for 10 times as much maybe he didn't want to push his luck and here's something it was the last thing he did in his life the cricket match you bold Colin Cooper made one run but Charles Jennings put up the score as a four now why did he do that he must have been distracted yes he did but why what did he saying or was he trying to tell us something by changing the score huh and here's something you have forgotten Emily beas you telling me that Steven Cavendish killed her too or maybe she has nothing to do with this if she was killed maybe it was for a completely different reason [Applause] Mr baraby Mrs Cooper I think you know why I'm here now I'm going to give you one opportunity just one opportunity to tell the truth do you understand yes you killed Emily beus no no we could never never what Mrs Cooper how far would you go you've got it wrong sweet Jesus and tell me what happened that day in the Quarry it was like we said almost like we said we saw her fall when we got to her she she wasn't dead but she was dying there was obviously nothing we could do and then she she pointed up and we looked up there and there was someone with her we realized that she must have been pushed you never told this to the police you're afraid don't lie it to me Mrs Cooper you you didn't tell the police because you had plans of your own yet how do you know because you drove all the way home before you reported the death to the police 4:56 that's 40 minutes later anyone else would have gone straight to the nearest telephone box but you you had plans didn't you she had these coins she asked me to take a look at them there was one there I knew immediately what it was worth I'd seen something like it once at the [Music] Museum a Henry III gold penny a classic one type coin could you believe it was just sitting there in an old box with some pennies and anies so when you found her dying you went back for it and then you sold it how much for 100,000 it wasn't stealing nobody knew nobody would ever have known she didn't need it if it wasn't stealing what was it it was a sin Mr Barnaby it's not wrong to sin Christ came into this world for the Sinners to call people to repentance Mrs Cooper I think that's a word that's alien to you you left an old woman to die and helped cover up a murder for more than a year Troy sir they're under arrest you caution I will you that'll be a real pleasure you did say 4:00 prompt Mrs Barnaby oh yes and it's not like him to be late M well he is on a Case here he is now sorry I'm late I was beginning to think you weren't coming oh well I made you a promise here I am this it Dad I think it's very pretty good afternoon Mr Barnaby oh miss Bo isn't it I Used to Know Her former employer Mr easterman is now divorced and living in Morocco shall we go in anyway welcome at last to Long trees which has been on the market a very short time sorry what did you just say I just said that I'm Sorry Miss boan uh Joyce Kelly Mr B be some other [Applause] time you told Sergeant Troy about an accident that happened in the Quarry about 9 years ago you never told me you were a police officer you never asked I invited you into my home and all the time you were spying on me please tell me about the man that was killed in that accident there's not much to tell his name was Matthew Draper you said he was married with a child but that child was a girl girl wasn't it yes oh forget about that what about me I know Robert Cavendish was responsible for this he sabotaged that bridge now what are you going to do oh shut up you stupid stupid woman they're not interested in you nobody's interested in you oh your bloody foot paths they never have been no if you don't mind I'll show you the [Music] door Zelda is right for what it's worth probably was Robert Cavendish who sabotaged the [Applause] bridge but whatever you may think about Robert Cavendish he no killer in fact it occurs to me he's much more likely to be the victim he closed down the Quarry yeah well you said it Troy not the easiest of men is he the way he ran that business an arrogant man all that Nazi stuff now if anyone in fles crosses a Target he's it you mean someone was out to get him he killed his wife framed his son killing him is too easy they're out to destroy him slowly so Charles Jenny's letter there was no name on it could have been sent to anyone and then planted in Steven's house yeah but Jennings wrote that letter to someone he knew had far less money than Steven Cavendish that's why he was only asking for 500 quids but who someone who had access to both the hall and the lodge who could steal the baret and the cricket bat who could plant the letter and get their hands on banknotes they knew Carri Steven cavendish's fingerprints more wines sir yes please oh it's a terrible business sir I can't imagine how you must be feeling first lovely Mrs Cavendish and on the day after your 60th birthday so young with a pretty face all smashed in like that with a cricket bat and now young master Cavendish too he'll be going to prison no doubt about it I don't think you'll be seeing him again now you drink up Sir dinner's almost served take the killing of Emily beis why was she killed had nothing to do with that coin of hers what possible reason could you have to kill an elderly housekeeper well you might kill her if you wanted to replace [Music] her [Music] actually I can imagine how you must be feeling [Music] sir I used to be married myself my Matthew he was a wonderful man of course you wouldn't remember his name he was nothing to you to me he was the kindest most handsome man in the whole Kingdom and whenever there was a dragon to kill the king sent [Music] him to me he was everything he was my night in shining armor and I'll never forget the day he died the day you took him from me it wasn't me it was phasia frasia was doing what you told him to do it was you you what a one oh oh but you must forgive me sir I shouldn't be talking like this how's the wine I hope the little valum I put in it didn't spoil the bouquet Mrs Wilson had access to the cricket bat and the bayet the £10 notes found with Steven cavendish's fingerprints probably her wages so she's Matthew Draper's wife his widow yes and she spent 9 years planning revenge for what had happened to her husband changing her name changing her appearance moving to Fletcher's cross and killing an innocent housekeeper simply so she could move in on the family as her replacement first time we met her I knew there was something wrong except when I made her breakfast at half 7 she did happen to mention that she'd be walking over by the Old Quarry why should Tara have been so specific about where she was going why mention it to Mrs Wilson of all people but then maybe she never did remember it was essential to Mrs Wilson's plans that the body should be found and of course she knew exactly where it [Music] was Kaiser where are [Music] you Kaiser what are you doing here can't you overtake this [Music] thing well you said it sir oh right so Mrs Wilson killed Tara yes she committed that murder but she wasn't working alone what there were two of them oh come on Troy trying keep up she had a daughter too Mommy I'm here ah dinner at last that's my girl show him what you've got can he see me oh yes he's awake sh him would sir to commit suicide so who killed Charles Jennings that was Patricia Smith Alias Trish the bid in fact Matthew Draper's daughter Mrs Wilson set Steven Cavendish up but this time it was Trish who wielded the knife it happened just at the moment when Colin Cooper hit his single do you remember the scoring went wrong all the scores were on a rotating Loop and he must have been pulling it down when she [Music] struck no that wasn't a four the timing was perfect Mrs Wilson watched Trish go in Mr Cavendish do you think you could ask someone to take a cup of tea over to the scoring shed for me I'll do it oh that's very kind of you there was no light inside the scoring ship and it would have been even darker coming straight in from the Sun that was a hell of a risk but they don't come any more cold blooded than these two I brought you a cup of SE T after that all she had to do was put the body back as we found it put back the cap and the Jersey step into the doorway as if she just got there [Music] and [Music] I have to say they both acted their parts brilliantly and as for Trish she was having an affair with Steven Cavendish simply to destroy him she gave him an alibi all right but managed to make us know that she was lying do you remember the way she brokee Down Troy I don't know maybe it was later I told you what he wanted me to say please don't ask me anymore I told you what he wanted me to say had me fool I mean it's unbelievable all this planet they're an incredible pair those two and they haven't finished [Music] [Applause] yet well I've enjoyed working for you Mr Cavendish but if you don't mind I'm going to say goodbye now no wait oh no we've waited quite long enough for this you killed my daddy what I paid compensation money that's all you thought he was worth can I do it now yes dear but remember it has to look like suicide your wife in the grave your son in jail is it any wonder you took the easy way [Applause] out finish it do it [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] now [Music] all right Tom you win a terorist house in Addison Crescent a bungalow in Broly Street a Victorian semi in Raven court and all right here in the center of Corston ah after that horrible story I'm not sure I want to visit the country ever again there is one thing I don't understand though dad what was it that that estate agent lady said that made it all click for you a Miss Boaz it was the house name long trees welcome at last to Long trees which has been on the market a very short time sorry what did you just say and her saying it had been on the market only a short time what about it well you see when I was talking to Mrs Wilson this was before we found Tara Cavendish she said something very odd I have no idea sir she just said that's where she'd be that's the long and the tall of it and then about 20 minutes later she left it hardly registered at the time but a couple of days later I was down the pub and I heard it again I've got a good head for figures but the long and Tall of it is he was with me all morning the long and the short of it that's the actual phrase now for one person to make that mistake that's odd enough but two of them two people who supposedly hardly knew each other it's a sort of linguistic peculiarity that a daughter might pick up from her mother exactly and once I've made the connection between the two of them everything else just fell into place here's one for you Tom it's a flat above a butcher shop it's your [Music] round [Music] oh
