they'll be every day someone tells you you're supposed to be dead no it was a plane crash in case you're wondering entire family wiped out all of you you your two sons husband I take it they're alive as well are they they're fine look there must be some kind of mistake oh no I think this has all been very deliberate but why who knows with Rex you obviously don't know your uncle that well Janet yeah got a bit of surprising news for you I'm sorry faith Alexander Rex's niece who died hideously in a plane crash a year ago yeah she's alive oh my god you're sure it's her why was she lied to us anyway yeah good question I'm going to have to pop out freely I'll be as quick as I can what's happening you know Rex told us his niece and her family died in a plane crash well she's just turned up on his doorstep alive and take him was that old rascal up to now do I look like I'm finding this entertaining hi he's too embarrassed to show his face this is more than a bad joke she must be faith this is Janet Rex's housekeeper well keno really you just like your picture oh this must be so weird for you I mean Rex I've got his mischievous side answer me my picture hey you said oh just like my picture oh yes [Music] it's always hurt pride of place now and my family has been in touch with Rex for 40 years how did he get this and who's this that but that's Rex [Music] where is he still no sign this is faith faith this is Eileen she helps Rex out with the cooking we all do our bit or try to what's all this about I have no idea but I really need to telephone my husband excuse me it's definitely her do you know something what would I know anything [Music] he just doesn't want to face us so you think all that was just for sympathy I can't believe it and I think he would have left a note he wouldn't just not be here shortly he's going on I saw your car Crixus disappeared and his dead niece has turned up nobody knows where he is all right I'll call you when I hear something bye [Music] [Music] [Music] maybe he had one too many and nodded off somewhere else we should call the police again oh hi faith this is Jeremy my fiance you think we should call the police we're just covering all the options face we're not saying that something's happened he can be a bit unpredictable at times it's probably all for the sake of a grand entrance perhaps I should call any mention about Silas they didn't say anything you think he's gone for a wander in his dressing-gown might explain his confusion of her nieces and plain crackers might invent we've made all the usual checks and there are a few coincidences and he's quite a wealthy man I don't know seems it let me check it out yeah I do okay obviously we need to go yes sir her husband's in London on business they flew over together apparently and what about mr. masters is there any history of mental problems dementia sharp as a knife he knows exactly what he's doing and we've run round everyone that we know in there's no sign of him any idea why he might have come up with his story about the plane crash he can be a bit of an old born look I'm sorry I really have to be going I have to get back to the surgery as well no problem you wanna call me if anything happens yes of course so what else can you tell me about mr. masters what's he like he's an old-fashioned charmer really artistic he was quite a well-known society photographer wealthy yeah I think the money's running a bit low at least that's what he's saying we spoke yesterday and he said see you tomorrow at 11:00 but then there's this plane crash there he couldn't have confused it with another one involving other members of the family there is no one else there was nothing he said when you spoke to him on the phone nothing unusual he didn't seem odd or out of sorts I don't think so I don't know him that well really I just phone conversations I've only been in touch with him for the last couple of months the only thing that seems a little odd is he seemed very interested in my house that is kind of strange I've always been lucky as far as that goes but he seems very concerned and then there's the photos my decimals and one he's got recent pictures of your whole family in the study well as far as I know my uncle Rex hasn't been in touch with anyone in my family for over 40 years not until I got in touch with him a few months ago he and my mother fell out before I was born it was a big family huge have you spoken to your mother about this no she died 10 years ago I don't understand any of it I was really looking forward to meeting him have you know what the feud was about there was something that happened when my mother was living in Midsomer Deverell when she was a teenager something between my uncle Rex and my mother's best friend at the time was it friend she became quite famous Lucinda Thacker mama Lucy of Ethiopia Lucinda Sokka yes that's right the famous missionary believe this she was Jeremy's mother Jeremy I met yeah my fiancee he's the curator of the mama Lucy news in excuse me are you with them now afraid your hunch was right they found her ex masters body he's still on voicemail can I get you anything no thank you what are you gonna do come all this way I don't know what are you gonna stay I don't know did you think it would be alright if I stayed here would you want oh yes yes I would like to very much we'll need you to remain in the area for the time being I'm sure it'll be fine if you stay here where was he found his body was found in the river the river below Croft is where are you alright how awful [Music] [Applause] [Music] lady from the lock peepers cottage found him did what he was caught up in the branches over there abrasions to the head had a feeling it would be something like this well we don't know whether someone hit him and he ended up in the water or he fell in his head on the way down I'm hoping the blood will shed some light it's a bit of a coincidence this all happening is the long-lost niece turns up and there's this stuff about the plane crash I don't know what to make of it she seems genuine and the husband who's up in London on businesses yeah they flew over together she's still trying to get hold of him that means that you knew the muscles that mr. Fitz that's right moaning for 50 years longer we both have this is Amy my wife hello I'm Tom Barnaby and this has been jealous of course to CID I understand that you actually saw Ric's masters yesterday never know when Janet phoned Jack wasn't here so I said we hadn't seen him because I didn't know jack had what time did you actually see your ex masters about 8:30 we often saw him on his evening stroll he loved it then you and he take the same route would he I would have said so dan passed away across the bridge and back along stud Lynn Lane what's this about the nice turning up she's alive and the rest of her family as well yes I know this place you've never been here before when I was young my parents put me a boarding school over here my mother came and took me out for the day she took me to a river it looks like this that's Croft is weird it's where Rex's body was found [Music] this is face Rex's niece from America hello I will have to talk to you both in due course but in the meantime can you tell us do you know anywhere where Rex might have left a note not suicide oh we have to kiss it all possible it is I suppose he might have left something in the study but I can't believe I was probably the only other person who came in here [Music] you go back years as far as mrs. Alexander knew none of her family had been in touch with Rex for 40 years not until a few months ago when I first spoke to him he got no idea where he got these pictures from he didn't say I didn't ask I want this home look exactly as it is okay no keys no okay who's his solicitor Jane Benbow in Causton it's either Street right you wouldn't happen to know who inherits yes I do actually um I was a witness and he told me but would you mind telling us um well there were a couple of small bequests I remember I think he left a case of the crystal champagne - Jane been though to lighten the load for being executor and for having such very pretty legs that was very Rex and the chief beneficiary is Oh faith Alexander he's nice I I had no idea I never met him I swear I had no idea so good fun and when was the wheel signed it must have been about four years ago now there's the matter of the official identification of the body I'll do it if you like I'd like to be there [Music] so what have we got cause was definitely drowning I'm not sure about the abrasions whether they were caused before or after into the water my instinct is before oh and he was hit with a smooth tubular shaped object could it have been an accident Susanne I'm sure you realize as Rix's solicitor I can't divulge the contents of his will of course not but I spoke to one of the witnesses and she told me that faith Alexander at once you're going to inherit pretty well everything I wondered if you could just you know confirm that for us but you wouldn't deny it no the will was dated four years ago do you know of any more recent will well up until today I would have said no but um Eileen Carnac got in touch with me requesting an urgent meeting I don't know if you know her she used to cook for Rex I've met her a neighbor of his yes that's right it's clearly regarding a new version of Rex's will in fact she's them she's doing a winter it would be very useful to us to learn the contents of that will yes Sam mrs. Khanna Kim oh I'm sorry I realize is that a new will yes yes it is would you mind or what if I had a look at it I'm Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby from Causton CID hello cool thank you it's such a tragedy we've all been just so shocked this is dated six months with you as beneficiary of the entire estate I think he wanted to reward me for the help I've given him over the years is it the the most recent version do you know by any chance it appears to be I said it was too much but generous to a fault dear ex well I I'll leave it with you sunshine there's anything more to discuss oh no mrs. cartlett mrs. Kovach this is karnak like to ask you if find me don't eyes that you were busy we can come back later oh what's that it's um a letter from Rex to be opened in the event of his death he gave it to me for safekeeping actually it's a bit embarrassing it's a new will it all seems to be an order dated just a couple of months ago with who as the main beneficiary it needs me yeah he left everything to me interestingly and both wills have been witnessed by mister mrs. Pierce keepers cottage but it is definitely valid oh yes unless another one turns up and on current form Rex has been playing a little game with us irrespective of which will is valid anyone who believed they were the legitimate beneficiaries of Rex masters will they would have had good motive to kill him need to ask both of you where you were between 8:30 and 9:00 yesterday evening Janet um I was at home with Jeremy that's right we had an evening in Ireland actually I was at miles his cottage briefly I went round to pick up some flowerpots he'd promised me and I stayed for a quick drink what did you get that about 8:30 and when did you leave about 9:00 actually [Music] [Music] finally mr. Jones we've just come from Rix's solicitors and it turns out that Rick's made two more wills since the one four years ago which had you as chief beneficiary and I'm afraid you're not mentioned in either in fact the most recent one the one regarded as the legitimate aversion that leaves the entire state to channel it to Bailey your uncle's cleaning lady housekeeper yes I know who she is I can't say I'm not disappointed but it was my uncle Rex's decision and I like Janet she seems a very deserving person I understand that you were in London at the time what do you mind telling us where exactly in London anywhere between 8:30 and 9:00 I was in my hotel room my sleep felt like we'd only arrived a few hours earlier can anyone confirm that my husband anyone other than your husband people at the hotel it's the Burnham in Piccadilly mrs. Alexander why after all this time did you decide to get in touch with your uncle I mean just now I know it must seem a bit of a coincidence all I can say is I don't know I was feeling a bit nest empty my sons are away at college somebody mentioned they listen to that biography which got me thinking about Midsomer which got me thinking about family I've got me thinking about Rex I knew that Rex was about 80 I thought if I was ever going to meet him Knight better hurry up don't mean to be quite a wealthy woman do you still want to marry me of course they do what a thing to say oh yes we witnessed his signature on several occasions he didn't tell us what the documents were they were all whittles see he changed his mind quite a lot that's one way of putting it another might be that he was fraudulently purchasing loyalty I loved Rex dearly but he could be a complete and utter Toland this is the Lucinda Thacker biography that's right the famous mama Lucy yes I know who she is can I have a word sir [Music] faith told me Lucinda Thacker and her mum were good friends when she lived in mid-summer devrel before she moved to the states she reckons the reason the mammon rex fell out was because of something that happened between Wrexham Lucinda did she say what doesn't know but odds on its loin instigated gotta be if it involve Rex I don't know if it's got anything to do with anything Noreen instigated written by Jeremy Thacker the son he takes his mother very seriously she was a truly remarkable woman in many ways but verification hmm Jeremy is trying to drum up support from the local bishop we're all very proud of it of course but it does feel a bit like a veneration too far may I borrow this thank you she's not quite the humorless do-gooder the book suggests she'd have hooted at the idea of sainthood leave it they're saying at the bars that you turned up at Rex's solicitors today with a will that had yours beneficiary I told me wasn't true why shouldn't it be true well you'd have told me why would I have told you you have to know everything do you is that it I have to tell you everything that's going on in my life you thought you were inheriting all of Rex's money and you never mentioned it I gave up a career for you and the children do you have any idea what it's like being beholden to someone else all the time surviving on handouts do you do you like hell you do I'm sorry I had to know all the other is it true there was another woman editing Valerie yes it is so you don't have to worry [Music] [Music] what are you doing reading the biography of our local female missionary I thought pulp thrillers who wore your kind of thing well since you asked it has to do with a suspicious death we are investigating chap by the name of Rick's masters Oh what do you mean oh did you know him he's supposed to be the mystery man who had his wicked way with Lucinda Thacker but you know some people think she wasn't as innocent as her son made out in the book not in her teens anyway apparently she's to run quite a racy crowd Joyce oh pretty lady how do you know all this poston book club reading list Chapter three [Music] mr. King and Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby and you've already met Detective Sergeant Jones we need to ask you some questions about the night Rex masters went missing we're trying to establish what everyone's movements worth the time what do you want to know you were just going out won't you Hey yes I was and you were good to see this offender why do you ask if that's a will of Rex masters you have there that's dated any earlier than two months ago you're wasting your time it isn't it yeah I see my time thank you yes two other Rex masters rules have come to light recently neither I'm afraid with you as a beneficiary one dated two months ago the other six months ago oh one this one twelve months ago and the recent will of two months ago it's valid yes is it who is it who's the beneficiary is it the nice no it's Janet Bailey bastard faster you know she might not much of a help anymore I feel I have to offer she's on her own in a foreign country well don't be too hurt if she gives you the cold shoulder perhaps you should think of some kind of invention that's the contents I'm just being practical I knew it what happens at Yvonne I've been my god mr. King may I ask how long had you known Rex masters oh we went way back supposed to be friends but nothing bloody nothing how did the will the will with you as beneficiary how did that come about you always said he'd provide for me so he made him put it in writing why not he milked it hard enough never had any money to pay me Oh house rich cash-poor don't you worry my boy you'll be provided for who wouldn't be worried it's not as if you've got any family to leave it to not anymore ivory landscape the entire garden out there virtually single-handed what a wonderful job you've done nice it's a trap well why not who else deserves it more than you organize it my signature is at your disposal and of course once the will was signed there were always some other little things he wanted doing my boy mowing the lawn twice a week rebuilding the pergola endlessly weeding those herbaceous bloody borders I can't believe I did all that [Music] mr. King we're asking everyone on this of course where were you between 8:30 and 9:00 on the evening the Rex masters went missing I was here it won't corroborate that well yes Eileen actually she came over to collect some flower pots at 8:30 which is what we had arranged she had a drink and then left about no Janet well anyway I just wanted to do hello I know that house I've been here before this is Amy pissed she knew Rex as well as anyone hi Amy this is space Alexander Rex is nice yes we've met before many years ago your mother brought you here Rex asked me to act as an intermediary to try and broker some kind of peace but your mother flatly refused she wanted nothing to do with him I don't remember that she told you to go into the garden and I went to the weir that's right we couldn't find you it was a man beautiful isn't it [Music] yes it is but frightening too they often go together for some of us that is mustn't let the fear win never let the fear win mrs. Peirce did you stay in touch with my mother no I think she rather saw me as being on Rex's side which I wasn't do you know what the feud was about I know something happened between the sender and Rex it wasn't spoke enough wasn't there any gossip as invariably gossip but I endeavor always to forget the words of idle tongues he was always making out he was hard up was asking favours I never seem to say no don't know why I draw the invitation doesn't it ever occur to you that I have other things to do you might even offer to pay me I would of course I would but you know how it is it's it's the bloody bank manager and yet you have all these people to dinner I know I have no right to ask this of you why don't you sell a painting or a statue or something I know you don't mean that I know you wouldn't want me to sell my babies he said he'd be dead soon and that he'd leave everything to me so long as I let him taste my pavlova one more time I told him I wanted it in writing I want that in writing of course you do and the lobster now they must taste the beast if I was just a few years younger I can lose myself in those dark eyes we did the paperwork tomorrow of course can you think of any reason why someone might want to kill him any enemies no there were a few people who didn't approve of him his lifestyle but no enemies as far as I'm aware just one more thing mrs. Connick if I may oops is you Arthur Rick's master's place did you notice anything unusual around about the time he disappeared no this is Richard my husband dr. Connick I'm Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby this is detective Sergeant Jones we were just asking your wife you know whether she'd seen anything unusual around about the time that Rex masters disappeared I've explained there was nothing well actually I did see something on my way back from the pub but I suppose it was about nine o'clock a man sitting in his car outside Rex's house why didn't you think of it before no nobody asked me before and I hadn't really thought about it I suppose there was a hatchback blue I think did you recognize him no it wasn't particularly distinctive in his forties I'd say would you recognize him again I doubt it I didn't get much of a look it was here don't let the fear way that's what he said to me that's what Rex said to me 30 years ago right on this spot I know it was Rex sounds like the kind of thing rekt singsing talking to him these last couple of months on the phone getting to know him we just clicked you know I don't think I've ever clicked with anyone of course a house I think I let the fear [Music] compromise safety doing what was expected how can me jeans and sneakers hiding it's not me [Music] I don't think it ever was well I don't know too much about the philosophical stuff but do something about the clothes that suits you does it he gave me a few dresses your uncle and then there was the underwear really he was very naughty in what way um he was never very fond of Jeremy hmm you must promise me not to wear it for him but it wasted on the courtly only for me only when you yeah [Music] and be enough to know you've got it on underneath to hear it Russell there are no limits to your depravity Rex masters Oh what there's a limit to everything my dear and the end of it all is galloping towards me and breakneck speed gather ye rosebuds why do you may try on for me go home and I'm afraid I did [Laughter] [Music] [Music] [Applause] she's a bit shaken but she seems okay yeah when when did it happen about 1:00 a.m. apparently she knocked something over upstairs the intruder heard it did a runner looks like they were trying to get into the study who's on the floor just there it's one of the kitchen knives you can see the marks where they try to force it there's nothing obviously missing from the rest of the house there was a burglary for monetary gain it's plenty of valuable stuff they could have stolen more easily how are you feeling okay I'm sorry I must have been very frightened me I was terrified actually fortunately I think he was as well he ran away as soon as he heard me clattering around upstairs so you didn't see anything no I'm sorry I was about to make some coffee would you like some yes please thank you okay [Music] so [Music] maybe whoever it was was after another will seems to have been pretty keen on them gotta put an officer on the front door in case whoever it was comes back for another try that's a long time look at all this and I think it's connected to Rex's death it's a very big coincidence I know something else about Rick's master's in the malluci biography I have a son Jeremy thank you he says that when his mother was a young woman back in the early 60s she was sexually assaulted by an older man who abused his position of trust and that she never really recovered from that apparently there was much local speculation as to the identity of this mr. X it looks like may well have been Ric's masters so that's what the feud between Rex and his sister was about you don't think Jeremy was trying to avenge his mother's honor taking his time about it he was hello this is Jane Ben bed hi um I'm just picking through some of Ric's his finances and well I found something that I thought you should know about what is it you told me that your family and I have no contact with your uncle Rex for over 40 years yeah yes yes but we've just discovered that your uncle Rex was making large regular payments amounting to many tens of thousands of pounds into an account in Philadelphia in your husband Alan's named at the first payment was made some 10 years ago in the last one year ago well you're not aware of this no no as far as I know my husband has never met uncle Rex he has never had any contact with him at all we'll need to talk to him we'll both need to talk to him he arrives in an hour [Music] [Music] it was Rex masters that's absolutely definite so the man who assaulted your mother when she was 17 years old was indeed Rex masters absolutely I couldn't name names in the book obviously the lawyers would have had a fit it was he got her blind drunk and forced himself on her they call it date rape now back then the shame of it was just too great better for everyone to pretend it hadn't happened did your mother herself tell you all was as good as she didn't like to talk about it but she never denied it when I asked him you know he tried to get me to withdraw a book from sale no I didn't know that said it was a thinly disguised version of himself which of course it was claimed it was libelous which I knew it wasn't I got the lawyers to check that out very thoroughly I said I'd see him in court so you can see I don't be shedding many tears for Rex masters mr. Thacker I have to ask you this where were you at 1:00 a.m. last night at a party in London given by my agent why there's a break-in at Stone Croft house and we have to ask everyone I see we need your agents details for corroboration speak to a now if you like [Applause] you poor poor thing don't you worry now everything will be all right now I'm here now mm-hmm balance here blue hatchback this is Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby and Detective Sergeant Jones hi how'd you do terrible thing terrible thing something's different well new hairdo what what is it mr. Alexander we'd very much like to talk to you how about the large sums of money you received from Rick's masters over the nine years until last June oh of course I I think I know what you're talking about yeah that's a little misunderstanding don't you worry we can sort it out guys I really want to know what's going on as well money from the account of Rick's pastures over here to the account of Allan Alexander in Philadelphia several payments AC amounting in total to 160,000 pounds I don't know what that is in dollars but it's certainly quite a lot so if you could start at the beginning please okay this is not easy for me I suppose I first got in touch with Rex I guess ten years ago when faith started to get her medical problems I know I know we should have had sufficient insurance and I blame myself my new Rex was well off so I phoned him on a long shot in the hope that he could ease the pain for my dear faith should I have let her continue to suffer I couldn't do that didn't Rex want to talk to her to faith well they were the women's issues and I explained that to Rex and rex accepted it actually he insisted that I didn't tell her he was helping all he wanted in return was for me to keep him informed about the family that was all the photos oh you know about them yeah I sent him photos from time to time funny faith told me she's always been very lucky with her health general Baili isn't it this faith all right she's fine we've been in touch with the local police in your hometown and you've got quite a reputation there several failed businesses gambling problem why did Rex stop making payments mr. Alexander the truth please this time okay right well I was over here on a business trip about a year ago and I came down to see Rex you met him here in mid-summer right he wanted me to tell faith that he'd like to talk to her and I said I would ask her if that would be okay and you told him that faith didn't want to talk to him which was a lie wasn't it because you hadn't mentioned it to her idea for obvious reasons what happened when you told him well he turned the pitch frosty so the family is still adopting me I I [Applause] [Music] never want to see any single one of you ever again not get out I guess he must have kind of embroidered it with the plane-crash story so when faith decided to help her own bat a couple of months ago to make contact that must've been very awkward for you is that why you killed him to stop faith finding out what you were up to all those years I didn't kill anyone okay mr. Alexander now I want you to think very carefully before you answer this next question okay someone saw a man about your age sitting in a blue hatchback which was parked outside Rex's house on the evening that he disappeared now it's a very good chance of this witness may be able to recognize that person and give us a positive ID so where were you on the evening you arrived in this country I was down the era had already spoken to him and persuaded him not to mention the money I just wanted to make double sure double sure as he knocking him over the head and pushing him in the river I did not kill him I like went to his house and he wasn't there what times that around 8:30 I I guess I waited until 10:00 I had to get back to London what the estimated time of death is sometime after 8:30 all right I can see I'm gonna have to tell you I think I saw a lot the murderer it's true and we're supposed to believe you I am serious I saw the murderer I've been sitting waiting in the car it was dark I was just thinking about giving up when I saw a figure appear by the front door couldn't work out where it came from and before I could get out of the car whoever it was it let themselves in it if I was kind of weird because they didn't turn on the lights [Music] I must have heard me because suddenly a flashlight was in my eyes whoever it was right off about the back door and I could hear someone in the backyard knocking stuff over what did you do then what could I do I had to get back to London I just had to hope that her ex wouldn't mention any think to faith when she can't no I guess he was already dead [Music] [Music] do you think our American friend really did see an intruder sir well we'll need to talk to the wife only but if you did see someone mean to something in that study that someone to get his hands on very badly let's go through well I'm thinking about it don't take too long [Music] [Applause] gone for a walk sir with her friend Janet Bailey I see thanks so much [Applause] everybody says you have to work at marriage you have to tough it out maybe there really is a reasonable explanation no I've been hiding the truth from myself for years I was just too scared to admit it along with that when first-class to Paris for a weekend of five-star luxury [Music] and how about no wonder [Music] [Music] you know [Music] [Music] yeah black-and-white I suppose that makes it erotica rather than porn very tasteful a bit of extracurricular photography never realized they had such adventurous sex in those days oh that's when it was invented germs in the 60s do you know nothing looks like the erotic photo career spans several decades is he meant above the legs don't think the law society would be too impressed though still mild well there's always the possibility that those are just the warm-up shots doing well if there were other more explicit pictures she wouldn't want anyone getting hold of them mr. Barnaby where's my husband but we're keeping him at the station for the time being mrs. Aleksandr did you mention to your husband at all what happened last night I mean about the intruder trying to break into the study no I didn't what did my husband say about the money well it seems that your uncle Rex was sending those large amounts of money to your husband to pay for what he believed were your medical bills quarter of a million dollars over nine years it's official my husband is a con man miss Bailey we have to ask everyone where they were at one o'clock last night so I'm asking you where were you I was at home in bed Jeremy was in London at a party given by his agent at least we know that respect confirmed by several other people it's just one thing on the night of Rix's disappearance when you were at home with Jeremy are you sure about the timings on that I mean you definitely were there between 8:30 and 9:00 way yes why are you asking I just want to make things absolutely clear I was just thinking sir what if mrs. Alexander made up the whole thing about someone trying to break into the study Lawson well why would she do that maybe she wanted to get in there herself she made a mess of the doorframe that's her explanation for it why see trying to get into the stomach another will look don't if there is a more recent will and she's a beneficiary it's still a perfectly legal document why not wait for us to find it looks more convincing she thought it would get us to look through the study more quickly I'm thinking a bit of a hole for myself the simplest explanation is often the right is in the middle of unloading of shopping and got a phone call then again [Music] mr. king although anyone home [Music] Oh [Music] you must be so proud well and good luck critter beatification thank you [Music] [Music] seems like it was pretty quick for both of them and recent very recent the male died first and the female shortly after surely you need a lot of strength to stab two people could a woman have done it oh yeah whoever it was could have gained access via the gate to the back lane and left the same way no one saw him or her but as two suspects less anyway I suppose shall be at peace now as they say not the happiest of people recently not with me anyway she did seem a bit what was that depression emotional problems over time of life stuff I think I suggested HRT once she came at me with a knife and I put that particular suggestion on the older backburner dr. Carla have you any idea or any idea at all why Eileen went to Miles King's house yes I think I do actually the miles were an alien yesterday evening and told her he thought he knew how races will favor and Janet might be contested I think he wanted to get something out of it I told her not to get involved rather looks as though where she ignored my advice I'll eat garlic and mouse game I know who would do such a thing [Applause] you have the news it's terrible it's awful glad you're here there's something something old to ask you something I wanted to see you about as well I had a visit yesterday from Myles King had your officers it was all in confidence but in the light of what's happened I thought I better tell you he seemed to be in a bit of a hurry it's a some kind of legal principle that bars people from profiting from their crimes there is yes and it applies to Williams are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting does the same principle apply to wills and inheritance I don't know if it has any bearing on what's happened but I thought you should know what was it she wanted to see me about mr. Barnaby um I wanted to ask you you've ever posed for Ric's masters oh right you did post friend he kept copies of the photos and you were asking me questions you already know the answer to which means you're establishing whether I'm a liar and if I am whether I'm in a good at it does that make me a suspect what sort of pictures whether it's very enough I suppose we're all suspects they were a little bit risque there they are what a surprise Rick suggested they might make a good birthday present for my husband he had the habit of while bringing out the naughtiness in people where are the others what others well he wouldn't have taken just a three so while ago now but I I don't think he took anymore certainly nothing more indiscreet if we believe what mrs. Ben beau was saying and what dr. Carnac told us it looked like miles thought he could prove that the murderer was the beneficiary of that latest well this means I'll have to reassess my take on Janet she's been convincing yes she is and so there's a husband-to-be do you think he provided her with a false alibi I suppose he'll do all right out of it when he marries her but he's the son of a missionary would he would he do that Oh Joyce it's me listen remember we were talking about Lucinda Thakur's biography and you said people were saying she used to hang out with a racy crowd well it's only what I heard yep can you remember who she hung out with landscape gardener was it landscape gardener what's that big yes yes it is Thank You Joyce bye endlessly weeding those precious bloody boarders could a woman have done it oh yes who is it who's the beneficiary and it's me he left everything to me he ran away as soon as he heard me clattering around upstairs is this some kind of legal principle that bars people from profiting from their crimes with Rena island he told her he thought he knew how races will favor and Janet might be contested [Music] something a little check [Music] what is it sir [Music] someone I need to see you keep an eye on things mr. Barnaby I have heard about miles an island yes yes it's terrible janet is through there she's waking up mr. Thacker wonder could I ask you to stay here till I get back I've got to pop out from a net yes of course that's kind thank you [Music] [Music] interesting to note that of all these positions none of them is we should you absolutely sure that is Lucinda that girl absolutely and Myles King I'm not sure who the others are yeah that's not your bottom is it Jack no suddenly everything is much clearer 30min clearer Lucinda never talked about what actually happened all she said was she drunk too much and Rex took advantage of her we all assumed that he'd forced himself on her and she did nothing to deny it oh it's obviously Rex taken the picture no it's stone Croft oh so that's the kitchen table I recognized the pepper grinder you can't say she was drunk and incapable can you yeah you know they made up towards the end she knew she was dying they met one day on the towpath a bit accidentally on purpose from loose in this point of view I think I may she must have felt guilty about it all anyway we watched him didn't we jack we did yeah I think they buried the hatchet [Music] he never talked about it but I think that must have been one of the reasons why he tried to get in touch with his niece after Lucinda died and then that son of hers dragged it all up again with that book [Music] first john bailey i am arresting you for the murder of rex masters no you do not have to say anything but it may harm your defense if you thought mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court anything you do say may be given in evidence she can touch with you and i should be very careful what do you say - if I were you false alibi we're talking about possible conspiracy here perverting the course of justice because it was a lie and wasn't it your alibi I don't see anything we'll get a solicitor wasn't it Janet sorry but I didn't kill Rex didn't do I was scared when I realized that I was the only beneficiary of Rex's well I just started worrying that I would be the main suspect especially as I didn't have an alibi I was alone at home how could I prove that but I did not kill Frederick's yes you thought Jeremy was doing you a favor didn't you giving you an alibi didn't occur to you that he was getting himself one at the same time dude I was at home with Jeremy what strength we had an evening in it was Jeremy who suggested that you needed an alibi you said that the person who broke into Rex's study that night was the murderer well Jeremy was in London so he couldn't I mean him I was wrong the person who was trying to break into the study the night Rex died was indeed the murderer but I believe the person who broke in the night faith was here that was miles King and he was trying to find the same thing that Jeremy was trying to find a set of very interesting photographs see miles believed that Jeremy had killed Rex and he thought if he could prove that you had given him a false alibi he couldn't that will the one which had you as the chief beneficiary no boy see this convention English law not allowed to profit from your crimes neither he was doing that or he was trying to blackmail Jeremy with the photographs I'm sure about his exact plans what were your exact plans mister you know what these photographs are don't you mr. Becker well of course you do because Rick's showed them to you didn't he and you were so appalled of their compounds so afraid of how they would destroy your mother's reputation that you were quite prepared to murder to keep them away from the press from the tabloids as that's what fixed own to do wasn't it unless you withdrew the biography from the sale see see that there is a naked lady that is the teenage Lucinda thank you Jeremy's mother and the young man on top of her enjoying her that's miles King he drugged her she would never have done such things he was fattening decadent debauched vermin why could you never see that he was nothing compared to mother of course that killed it he called it a light hole Jane you are pathetic [Music] mr. Becker mr. Becker mr. Thakur what did Rex say about your mother oh it was lies all those all of it My dear boy all I did was encourage your mother to enjoy her full sensual potential satsang weed there it had a wonderful Caffrey evening and a small group of us ended up in bed together stop it what's wrong with that I suppose I'd release the animal within she couldn't bear the freedom so she spread some terrible lies about me but I'm not going to put up with this any long I'm not prepared to be the pariah just to keep the hypocrites feeling happily self-righteous of office hours what crichton meal won't stop the tooth coming out the other people in the package [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] and miles king he had to die as well because you couldn't risk him revealing the secret they were of no value to humanity there were nothing Eileen [Music] collateral damage miles [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] at least you didn't marry him I married Alan what are you gonna do I could emerge as a state of mind I think a whole new future beckons what do you think chief inspectors thank you mr. Alexander yeah your wife would like to see you before she is itself the one thing I don't understand is how uncle Rex is going to explain my turning up alive and well after everything he'd said I don't think it'd have been to bothered he'd have denied he'd ever said anything or claimed it have been a huge misunderstanding and if anyone persisted he'd have made Lincoln very small and boring Rex Lily believes that the truth should giving way of a good story he wanted life to be entertaining and dramatic and if it wasn't make it that way [Music] how's it being eventful this is my new friend Janet pleased to meet you and you look great it obviously agrees with you earlier well yes and no there is what's happened where are you going we don't know yet I've decided to share the proceeds of the will with faith and the first thing that we're gonna do is go on a long holiday while we're a whale have my lawyers instigate divorce proceedings your lawyer I don't want to have anything to do with you ever again it's over Heathrow Airport John absolutely we'll take it from there no problem can we just talk about this I think you're being impulsive faith you know you do that come on now let's let's just think this through worked out really well because if I had inherited you probably would have gotten half now while we're out meeting guys and generally living the high life I'll have the pleasure of knowing that you won't get a red cent let's go John this man [Music] - pardon me [Music] I think miss Bailey and mrs. Alexander have you have a pretty good time what an annoying instigated us all away I hope so it's certainly on the cars [Music] [Music] you
