Hopkins in the kitchen she called the emergency services when she thought the broken window when did you last see her mrs. Hopkins yesterday I was here most of the afternoon Marjorie had kindly asked me to help with her garden party we discussed salads and dips and then I left so she could get ready for the reading club the Reading Club yes lady Chetwood and so on they meet here to discuss books if not rip beg me to join but really no I think mrs. Hopkins said that mrs. empson's silvers missing Marjorie was very proud of her silver it came from her father's side where she keeps the key into the cupboard in the tea caddy the police will want to talk to us about what's happened to poor Marjorie so obviously we're going to have to come clean about what the Reading Club actually does yes I suppose we will yeah well that's marvelous Lavinia how much we worth no it's my money darling and it's for the roof I thought you were up to something there's no way you need four years to discuss a book who's bad as Tuscan Spring you mean you've actually read it yeah I thought it might give us something to talk about completely mapped insider dealing is a criminal offense I can lose my job I can be prosecuted if I got sick I'm sorry Selwyn money is a serious business day after day I sit in this big house on my own because you're never here that's serious it's about babies again because I said all I gotta say about that subject well I suppose we kept it secret because some of the men in Midsomer market are a little behind the times they like to wear the trousers where money's concerned I'm divorced thank God it's not my problem sorry to interrupt you need new filter so I'll pop that later on there wait yeah great thanks sorry so it was Marjorie Empson who ran the club Marjorie is great at running things and you all take a keen interest in the stock market oh god no no no it's total gibberish to me no Marjorie is a whiz at bookkeeping and Sondra Bradshaw oh she's the local gp's wife has a fantastic head for figures so I just let him get on with it anyway one or two of our investments are doing incredibly well so we discussed selling them off and then and then the meeting broker Oh Tamsin Proctor stayed behind to talk to Marjorie what did you do I got home at ten past seven I had a glass of wine and some supper I watched the news and went to bed with a book it's terribly boring [Music] you cannot to start again from scratch right learn it yep repaper the whole shooting match I'm gonna stay in this place don't fancy your job much you're very perceptive man anyway I'm looking for lady Chetwood oh yeah go down the corridor turn after the door and all up the stairs find my wife at the top contemplating the roof Cheers [Music] [Music] lady Chetwood any news about my car I'm afraid not mr. president looking for the thugs who did it it's sort of harrassing my wife not harrassing your wife I need a statement a brief statement from mrs. Proctor at the meeting of Marjorie empson's no excuses bloody meeting good luck to you my husband's a lovely man sergeant with many talents but hanging on to money is not one of them so you joined the Reading Club yes it was my secret little plan you see to make some money I said that I could patch up the roof here and there I was a club doing well incredibly well thanks to Marjorie and Sandra I was rather hoping that we could sell some shares so that I could give the roofing chaps a down payment but I was outvoted all right yeah got to go with Heights actually I I stayed behind to talk to Marjorie mrs. Empson about selling my share of the portfolio how long did you talk to her only 10 minutes or so and then I came home and cooked in if my husband did it not occur to you that the club might cause a problem for your husband it had crossed my mind yes well Selwyn never talks about his work to me so I thought it'd be all right but it did cross your mind yes well that's why I wanted to sell my shares I only joined the club in the first place to try and make some friends in the village also you joined the club for social rather than financial reasons yes despite the fact that there might be a conflict of interest with your husband yes but no you see the thing is my husband yes your husband what nothing no that's all I've got to say I'm sorry poor Oh Marjorie just like her to put up a fight she loved her silver you knew about mrs. ebsen silver Oh everyone was showing the family silver some of it was played I'm afraid poor Oh Marjorie she was popular in the village a adult oh yes Marjorie could be a little blunt she did tend to put people's backs out but she was a good person at heart okay everybody knew about mrs. empson's silver they even knew where she kept the key to the cupboard we've got to be looking for some kind of local lowlife but you're assuming it was a genuine break-in on you why do you mean well your local lowlife why would he ignore a purse stuffed with cash and credit cards top of the range laptop computer an expensive camera you think this is something to do with that Reading Club thing I am keeping an open mind tour [Laughter] maybe oh yeah please sir be my guest I'm Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby this is detective Sergeant Troy Perry the pool man you'll have to excuse the whiff of chlorine it goes with the job everywhere I go in this village you pop up well there's a lot of swimming pools in this neck of the woods not very able to say do you live in the village mr. Paynter just outside a modest warning but my own and where were you on Monday night I love it when coppers ask there be nesting a lot of you mr. painter oh he's good isn't he eh we could continue this conversation somewhere more appropriate if you'd like do you know Mundy see I was in here I'm on the quiz team you see any strangers in here that night no but I can remember now did you know Marjorie Empson not really I only hang around with the swimming pools that you see like the proctors yeah I do that pour wine you follow the stock market I'm checking my pension oh yeah who's it with it dependable you a bit of an expert on pensions [Music] [Music] you might have told me the bloody Reading Club we're investing in the stock market why cuz then I wouldn't have told you so much about my work yes why darling that City gossip goes in one ear and out the other anyway it's not your financial prowess I am interested in I've got 23 minutes [Music] [Music] the cause of death wasn't what you thought yes the skull was fractured by multiple blows to the head how many blows six or seven there's a frenzied attack but we could these bruises on the upper arms identical finger marks see she was held from behind like this very tightly and all the blows came from behind so it looks like there were two assailants one held her while the other beat her to death with her own walking stick coffee I wanted to ask you about mrs. empson's dodgy hand she was due to have a replacement next month hence the walking stick yes she can get very far without it I believe you drive through the village yesterday evening I am on the committee of the golf club I attended an incredibly boring meeting there had some supper draw back to the village and went to bed after the meeting broke up Ginny and I were talking about Marjorie's garden party and Marjorie had clearly upset Ginny in some way or other did they argue at the meeting oh no it was all very good humoured as usual though I have noticed some tension between the two in the past Marjorie didn't think that Ginny was really PLU was I want to peel you people like us and I think Ginny resented that people can be extraordinarily sensitive and mrs. Bradshaw was home before you watching yes she was already in bed when I got him I'm sorry James surgery hasn't started yet he's not you are laughter Rupert it's my young friend here the wallpaper expert can you remember what Jenny said to you about Marjorie oh she was going on about how rude Marjorie wasn't so on and then she said and I remember this because I was quite taken aback she said one of these days I'm going to tell that woman what I really think and then she won't know what's hit her mrs.

was too dark but they're only three houses in Hawley when train that's empty the kids are at school the parents are in Switzerland the elderly couple who lived there are on a cruise which just leaves the lodge down at the far end where Ginny sharp lives I've already told you I had an early supper I went to bed someone was seen taking a shortcut through the churchyard at 10:00 that's that got to do with me we have a witness says it was you mr. shell all right yes it was me where'd you be Marjorie empson's you can tell us exactly what I was about to go to the Reading Club meeting when a parcel was delivered to me contained a bathrobe from a hotel well I go to this hotel occasionally to meet a friend discreetly who was the parcel from I didn't say it was scary it was like someone was trying to send me a message what did you do after you'd opened the parcel I went to the Reading Club meeting honey I didn't pay much attention because my mind was on the bathroom and who might have sent it to me and then after the meeting Marjorie said something to me Jeanne I want to pick your brains about the gardening club lunch what's the feathers like good there was something about the way she looked at me when she said it and I thought my god it's you isn't it you old cow did you say anything no not in front of the others I went home had a glass of wine and fumed and then I thought sod it I'm going to confront her so I went round to her house and I got a typically warm welcome are you spying on me Marjorie what are you talking about I'm talking about the bathroom bathroom what bathroom the bathrobe you sent me have you been drinking and then she mentioned Gerald and that was it as far as I was concerned when you first moved into this village darling Gerald said that woman is going to be nothing but trouble well that didn't stop darling Joe trying to stick his hand up my skirt every chance he got how dare are you Gerald's reputation is notorious no one was safe your garden parties were the worst when Gerald had been at the pins Oh wandering hands to represent which she was trying to hit me and then she dropped her stick and I grabbed her she pushed me away and I remember almost ripping one of her sleeves off Marjorie are you all right Marjorie get out of my house but she was alright when I left her I promise I didn't kill Marjorie I swear withholding evidence as a serious offense are you going to arrest me no I'm going to ask you to come down to Causton police station to make a formal statement of course I'll do anything I can to help I want to know who sent me that bathroom I want to know who's been spying on me I brought you a mug of tea I think my glands are up actually James you're looking rather well an illusion Lavinia I can assure you hmm I had an interesting conversation with Selwyn cocktail yesterday oil seaweed extract actually I met him for a drink you did what he made me rather an interesting proposition oh really live in yeah I don't ever want to hear this about the house bitumen see what else this house he wants to buy it well Oh James the house needs millions spending on it will never raise the money and Salman wants it badly you know what he's like he'll do it all up and have shooting weekends for his business chums and Swan about like the lord of the manor well frankly he's welcome what's to become of us Oh we'll pay off our debts and buy a cottage with a vegetable patch and have holidays holidays go to Paris I don't like Paris and New York York Oh James please pull yourself together we've got the public in this weekend and you've got to make one of your guided tour would you like me to make you some egg you bread if you're satisfied this is our dream could you sign just there that bathrobe that was sent to you which hotel was it from the feathers it's on the London Road the other side Causton and the friend you met there was that so in Procter was it yes so it was you passing inside information to the Reading Club wasn't it how long has this been going on for years soin said he'd leave Tamsin when the time's right she's old as the hills that one is Ned indeed it is we didn't ask Ginny sharp what mrs. Simpson was wearing did we sir we assumed she was wearing her night clothes but Ginny said she'd almost torn off one of Margery sleeves but there were no rips in the clothes the body was found in come on Troy okay that's what she was wearing when Ginny came around I still don't see the significance the last theory is that there were two assailants Marjorie Empson was hit repeatedly from behind while someone else hinder leaving bruises on her upper arms you saying below it's wrong I'm just wrong about the timing what's this blows tell us Ginny sharp I came here to confront Marjorie Empson they argued Marjorie attacked Ginny Ginny grabbed her by the arms leaving the bruises I'm directing the blasts hmm yeah look Ginny goes Margery gets changed for bid and then someone else turns up and that someone else is the killer or Ginny comes back no no I think Ginny she helps the murderer we're not saying was timing for a start and now we come back to the silver why would she get rid of it over her own God more no it's gonna be a crude attempt to incriminate wasn't it by someone who knew geneed had a bit of a Barney with Marjorie that evening that it's very good true thank you sir [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] yeah [Music] [Laughter] [Music] all the lights are on sir I can hear a radio let's try around the back [Music] [Music] make the phone call Troy [Music] and sandy choose [Music] [Music] someone hit her over the head then she probably fell in the pool maybe she's already in the pool mostly the ashtray is still on the bottom I think she was retrieving them she was any struck once by the look of it enough to knock her out as best so she drowned won't know until I've done the post-mortem it's this ashtray business all about them Tom it was a Missy Angie's smoking seems a bit harsh jenny was an excellent swimmer doing our best to establish what happened you mean it wasn't an accident it's too soon to say good dr.
