Townsend I know you won't feel up to talking but when we were with you last you gave the impression that your daughter may have had a few enemies there are a lot of people who would say that she left the world a worse place than when she came into it but she was my daughter [Music] [Music] quite a performance give it a rest [Music] [Music] she's devastated on top of everything else that drink-driving losing a license or job and now this I just couldn't leave it on her house on her own I think I'll put her in the guest room dead at a home she has been murdered how it looks as if you may have been injected with something we need to establish everyone's movements can he tell us where you've been since we saw you earlier class sister came over after the nurse had gone I went to Neal's cottage been doing some packing up and I went to the church hall about 12 I noticed because she's normally right on time Joan enjoys the flowering do have a time formalism time of death was between 10:00 a.m. and midday what sort of mood was mrs. Farley in when she got here witnessing well she was a bit anxious I suppose what that mildly they all heard what she said Jerry Joan blames Melissa for Neil's death we all know that and we have done for some time I can't believe that you imagine Joan is capable of murder it's a ridiculous concept and there are one or two others would have been tempted as well not now that is true Melissa the reputation for breaking up marriages got new names you can use two couples left a village last year neither marriage survived then well this year that was trial is king her husband spent an unhealthy amount of time with Melissa what Adam keen wouldn't trust him as far as I could spit my god love is blind not so blind these days I think love can be a curse as well as a blessing really very true and you could try sorry big ones I thought Sally and Melissa were friends Melissa had an affair with Sally's husband now ex-husband mark mark Whitworth who's he a property developer lives in coastal and Sally and Melissa fell out recently wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't something to do with Sally's new millionaire boyfriend and what millionaire boyfriend would that be Rafe I've invited Lord and Lady his lot brown for drinks on Thursday together with a couple of other people from A Midsummer Horse Society Freddy painting brown and doing fine how some wandering Sally will still be here by then what if she is she can join us I'm not sure she really into it there with you you are such a small Sally they're all tight to be associated with in front of the his lonesome just not sure she'd be comfortable as well the thing is Freddy main team Brown has been trying to persuade Sally to marry as far as I'm concerned she's far too good [Music] what's wrong you know something about Melissa's death next I will be with the playlist this is your last chance it isn't just the dead spittle right most let me discover someone's been banging their old man and be like cats and dogs never speak again but Melissa is Sally were friends human nature is a curious thing Troy not that curious Shirley I mean the way she was at the murder scene I wonder whether maybe they like that bread butter both sides so this week but then she has a boyfriend and this talk of her remarrying yeah but nobody's gonna marry Benteen brown for love are they all lost the only way a subspecies like that it's gonna get a stunner like Sally he's only got a few million in the bank Sally the police are here to talk to you I was looking for the ball that gone and there she was none of us had noticed she's gone didn't want to be any trouble oh she must have overheard us overhead my wife didn't want Sally to be here when lord and lady Hyslop came for drinks oh I think it is Georgina is so desperate to get onto the committee of the Midsomer Horse Society has been for years she was worried that Honorables might think she wasn't quite the right type all right well we're trying hapless and incidentally do either you know why Sally and Melissa fell out recently well no not really mr. canning oh you don't have any interest in my friends from the Tennis Club do you that's not true either well why is it every time we go to a party you spend the entire evening asking me when we're going to leave actually on this occasion where husbands are absolutely right I have no idea why Sally and Melissa fell out and I'd prefer to keep it that way what about the car already so the clients get back from all corners - can we start again there's my savings account it's all gone yes all your dear old granny's money now do you understand there is a way out how did it go today not actually gonna eat those mendler jelly miss cherries recipe you have to let the fruit go rotten before you eat it gotta be kidding in the book I checked [Music] mendler julie macklowe what is it someone described their friend as the meddler I wonder if she met one who meddles all the fruit requires a few trees over Malin way and the bigger Gardens quite popular locally meddlers spread on straw - by their own corruption I didn't want to cramp Georgina's style I thought it was best if I came away we're asking everyone this where were you between 10 o'clock and midday yesterday morning and I left the police station a little after 10:00 and then I had to make a visit to the Farley's to check out life yes we saw you what times you leave there I wasn't there long I was back here before 11:00 and after 11:00 I didn't do anything I just I was upset about the breathalyzer thing I didn't do anything there was no one else here I've lived alone since my marriage break up two years ago no romantic interest since then no mr. Benton Brown it's not serious okay so he proposed to me must be quite serious not to me he's a very wealthy man it has been suggested that I accept just so I can divorce him later and take him to the cleaners I was tempted somebody ought to teach him a lesson he's the most arrogant man I've ever met you and Melissa on good terms at the time of her death No we'd had a row I didn't like how flippant she was being about Neal's death but it wasn't her fault and the elapsed time wouldn't let anyone into that house his turn nurses away so the idea that she was responsible for his death it's just not true still someone may have killed her because of it may may as possible is here but then Melissa made enemies in the village for other reasons as well didn't she also we so we understand it's malicious gossip your ex-husband mark mark seduced her Melissa didn't know he was married she was just as upset when she found out about me as I was about her it was Jerry baulkham wasn't it told you this don't please madam you want to lose all this nothing can go wrong I told you [Music] what did she ever do to you you should go home we'll talk about this when you come closer sorry what did she do to you oh come back [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] I'll try the Dragons pentobarbital it was used to kill Melissa Townsend it's the same as that taking from the vet surgery well no surprise there and the footprint does not match the gardeners so this could be the footprint of our murderer indeed [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Laughter] is this about the Balkans afternoon mrs. Rick with they're not pressing charges well I don't like it when people talk hell of the dead you've been to the vets of surgery for any reason recently no I haven't do you have a pair of wellington boots we need to look at them mrs.

Whitworth [Music] you found them then yes I was wondering where they could be and I remembered that I thought about putting them on to walk home across the fields the other night instead of driving but I suppose I couldn't face the walk I thought I must have taken them out of the back of the car and then changed my mind and left them here by mistake by mistake yes they were at the back by the dustbins thank you when we saw you earlier and whose keen came over she seemed to think you might know where her husband was why would you think that I don't know but no idea where he might be not at all oh why mrs. Keene thought you might know okay thank you I have brought money on the print matching out boots well leaving them here by mistake [Music] [Music] those are briefs and those dispense I think no other books in the house not as far as I know [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] every evening I was upstairs them hoovering I didn't hear her not to worry anyway um yes your new batch of jam jars full fluid store mem Sahib asked me to drop them all thank you well I was uh must get on thanks again I think the police should be told maybe she was hoovering earlier oh I don't know I've spent a lifetime trying to fathom the complexities of jungles ecosystems but they are as nothing compared to the bizarre machinations of this village just extraordinary [Music] [Music] so [Music] he's not bad hasn't he contacted you right did he take any clothes a bag I wanted children but he said we still had some fun years left then it was we had to build up the car business first now we're bankrupt and there won't be any children why are you talking about your husband in the past tense this is game because he's dead I can feel it [Music] [Music] hello anybody dad mrs. King if you don't know anything you must tell us hello [Music] so Liz had been on the phone asking us if we knew where Adam might be there he was [Music] [Music] would have died just about instantly the joists have been sawn through they'd left just enough to keep the floor in place but it would have given way as soon as he stepped onto it do you think this is connected to Melissa's medicine well they were friends Melissa was killed in avenge his death and what was Adam doing wouldn't be a bad spot though when it Pressey could a tryst all that strong personally I think straws a bit overrated sir it's prickly what if Melissa and Adam were having an affair and Liz keen decided she'd had enough of the pair of them and all that anxiety was water connect enemies Adam you mean apart from the legions of debtors that cuckolded husbands the cheated lovers yes I've been a complete and utter fool mr. keen do you know whether your husband was having an affair with Melissa Townsend with Melissa not lately their relationship had developed into something much closer I'm sorry I can't do this Hugo's got something to tell you something rather important well I just had a friend here in his tennis talks he wanted to know what had happened about Adam so I told him how I found the body and suddenly he became this peculiar when I asked him Opsahl Mattern he just ran off did he say where he was going no he literally ran to the car you think what you said made him realize something exactly did you say when I told him no how I found the body and laid out on me on the plow and how the flies were tucking in and how he must have fallen through through the loft floor there because the way that the beam was sawn through do you have killings number yes yes of course tells them about June yesterday evening cherry asked me if I'd drop off a few empty jammed receptor at June Follies when I got there I noticed that she was digging what looked like quite a large hole in her back garden not in itself necessarily odd but when she answered the front door sorry I was upstairs hoovering she lied to you Oh mavin entire innocent this is the drownings number Thank You Troy I want you to go over to Jennifer on this place please you go people with him riff coming it's Tom Barnaby look I need to talk to you it's it's rather urgent so becoming straight over okay [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] mr. Carey [Music] we're squirming [Music] Oh Gina [Music] this is coming this is coming oh my god what do you do it appears his wife was asleep when it happened they get a bit thin on the ground now sir she's not here just her sister in or looking after Clive we didn't want to start digging without her hang on she's just arrived something else here sir what you got we've dug up a pair of boots that look like a match for the print nothing did you see what she'd be she's not saying anything at all sir right get it down to the station I'll see you there later there is something else sir there was a cardboard box in the hole it contains bottles of pentobarbital and a number of syringes I mean I did think about I change my mind you wrote those threatening letters to Melissa Townsend didn't you yes so you broke into the vet surgery and stole the syringes the drugs to carry out your threat but then you just change your mind just like that got to thinking how maybe it was my fault as well it was death I should have checked on him sooner the cottage got the doctor around before the new-moniest sent in I I was as much to blame as that stuck-up little man up he was my family burying the drugs and the boots doesn't look like the action of an innocent person I couldn't think could I what about the boots I had about you at the vets being interested no footprint out the back I showed you an old pair when you came around that time can't you see someone used the notes I sent as an opportunity to kill Melissa that's what's happened they laugh it out of court Jerry what is it I heard about Rafe and I heard that you'd arrested Joan now the thing is I saw Jones car outside Neil's house just after had spoken to Rafe on the phone so if you think she was responsible you saw Joan at the cottage she was in the kitchen I saw her through the window clear as day so you see Joan couldn't possibly have been at the Cannings when Rafe was murdered [Music] there's no way she could be protecting children like some sort of Women's Institute mafia it's unlikely cherry Vulcans fabricate an alibi for anyone possible of course if June isn't our murderer it means you're back to square one no not entirely it means that revenge for Neil Lexington's death not going to be the motive but why was Adam King killed like that well he's a needle like with the others did be expecting it so the murderer did it another way those are so very different and the difference is that the murderer didn't have to be at the barn at the time how did they know he'd step on the weakened support he went there to pick something up Adam went there to pick something out and what is that something whatever it was placed on the weakened area above the plow [Music] [Music] [Music] blackmail Palin trips but we didn't find anything killer came back and took it away and if Adam team were trying to blackmail someone and his wife knew about him that would explain her evasive behavior when we asked about her husband's disappearance from [Music] [Music] what's going on meet the bailiffs they're only taking words out gentlemen I'm Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby mrs.

Rick with' is it true to say you wanted to keep this lesbian relationship a secret my relationship with Melissa and how I felt about it is none of your business sorry we're trying to establish if anyone had grounds to blackmail you that's ridiculous is it you certainly have enough money to make it worthwhile 127,000 power have you been checking my bank account seems you did quite well after the divorce are you suggesting I didn't deserve every last penny of that settlement you're all animals the lot of you including Adam keen and Rafe Kenny Zoe when you drove back on the night of the the Tennis Club dinner oh please forward to admit that was over the limit I'm going to lose my job can't we just leave it were you alone of course I was you don't remember you don't think you don't remember anything about the journey back that is right yes I was so drunk I can't remember a single thing from getting into the car waking up when I got back all right happy now [Music] tell my guests I'll join them in a minute make sure everyone has a practical yes well I may be a drunk driver but I'm not a murderer are you alright they're accusing me of murder that's ridiculous they're saying someone was trying to blackmail me [Music] sorry mrs. canning this is a police interview why should anyone want to blackmail Sally Nessa's are not famous for being blackmailed targets and I remember as I thought about putting a man to walk home across fields the other night instead of driving would you please leave mrs. Kennedy well why is it every time we go to a party you spend the entire evening asking me when we're going to eat no Troy let mrs. canning stay [Music] when you drove back to your cottage the night of the tennis club party wasn't anyone there at your house oh yes there was actually Melissa I had fallen asleep when I got back she won't go away must have flaked out again because the next thing I knew I was being welcomed by the postman it's interesting that you remember being woken by Melissa but I'm not the journey back I really must attend to my guests that's like you to stay please if studies a suspect why didn't you just arrest her and daga to the station I really can't so he is not a suspect [Music] excuse me [Music] dead race hospital poor chaps brown bread sure this is wake apparently thought it was too late to cancel we shouldn't really impose on the core waiter waiter this is delicious could I have a drum one the Manning for all comes when we ask you about you replied that you'd thought of wearing them to walk back from the Tennis Club now if you could have used them to walk back across the wet fields to your cottage then presumably you could also have used them to walk from your cottage back to the Tennis Club or someone could have I want to do that the person who drove you back that night someone who lived just around the corner from you how did it happen perhaps you were outside having a breath of fresh air escaping from the party when he came across Sally and sleep in her car and the one so annoyed with your husband for not taking you home Lee Thornton do it myself and driving a 2cv would be fun and done that since you owned one at University which is where I assume you met Rafe and driving back would have been fine what was it can't run out in something [Music] knew you were over the limit not as much as Sally but still enough to lose your license and the shame have been done for drunk driving and was too much so you didn't smoke I mean you've got a Silas cottage he had a brainwave he dragged Sally back in front of the steering wheel you guessed correctly as it turned out Sally would assume that she was the one who had driven back what you didn't realize someone watching you someone had been waiting for Sally's return Melissa melissa watched you take the boots from the back of Sandy's car and set off across the fields back to the Tennis Club
