Lockwood here had a stomach ulcer not surprising in view of his diet but when the tweets are on the chocolate cake his belly was full of over-the-counter antacids after the ATM broke up I went on to the factory floor to talk to Alex Hardwick and we passed the boiling room as the visitors group was leaving it I didn't pay the much attention I'm afraid I had too much on my mind unlike the rest of us I suppose and you sir I left right after the meeting didn't I me too I had to work I'm a novelist you see hmm and last week she was a painter and the week before that she was a filmmaker and sell please and you mr. plumber oh yeah well after the meeting I had a little business to transact with mr.

Jordan who his heroes antique shop in the village it was a personal matter no I was hoping to talk to mrs. Amelia Plummer I didn't think it necessary to involve my mother she's very frail anyway she left straight after the meeting and none of you returned to the factory after that apart from you me you sir you returned the factory after midnight sir what I left my mobile behind us you're such a liar you were jabbering on it when you left the factory the security guard mr. Keith Carter let him into the boardroom you said you wanted to see something in a safe alright alright I was looking in the safe so what it's my safe to you know run over for I bet he was looking for Albert secret-recipe what we're going to do flog it to Fieldway foods nonsense you are hilarious and so if you took any interest in the term you'd know the original recipes in the bank in Causton the real secret is that it's inedible now that poison the housemate when he tried it on the servants so his cook came up with it wasn't for strangers really sorry darling but you might be interested to know that the dead man was in fact an executive for a field way of food good god you mean field where he had a chap snooping around the works that's industrial espionage we think his name was Dexter Lockwood is that a name which rings a bell with anybody no no I can't say that it does I saw it hanging man again and this time he didn't go away I'm Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby mrs. Plummer what seems to be the mummy the inspectors got more important things to do shut up reef a man hanging from a tree opposite my garden inspector back to the problem what would you like myself in cybersquad come have a look oh yes please really inspector that won't be necessary it's all right I wanted to talk to mrs. Plummer anyway big scotch buh-bye awkward he's nothing to do with the job that's enough I'd sell it's that one opposite the gate he's always hanging from that one so he's got a rope around his neck and he's hanging from the tree and then when you open your eyes again he's gone until today he didn't go today well let's have a closer look surely there's footprints lots of them listen but rubbed off the branch out there sir could have been caused by a rope it was obviously a dummy someone's been trying to frighten you well in a way that's a relief I was starting to think I was imagining it yeah why anyone would want to frighten me now I'm whatsoever that man at the works do you know who it was yes it was a young man called Dexter Lockwood did you know him mrs.

Lockwood that's her father sitting right next to Morrison Plummer Morrisville it was Amelia's husband that's right Morris was the same age as dad but there's dad a village boy but there is white shirt suit and tie sitting with the plumbers very well for himself oh he revolutionised that bloody business they were filling jars by hand till dad Luther my prior production line didn't get on with modest father did he soon as Morris took over the 30 kicked dad out on his head kicked him out of his hunts kicked him out of the village dad never got over it he committed suicide that was the coroner's verdict but it was murder as he asked me mr. Lockwood what do you think of some was doing at the plumbers Factory I don't know Dexter was a bright boy who was really game places just like dad and I he's dead the plumbers killed my father another killed my son I don't want to talk anymore one more question if you don't mind your father how did he commit suicide [Music] he hanged himself and no inspector sergeant Scott said to tell you he's in the cafeteria through the door turn right and you'll find it next to the redish Museum thank you this is harder does the name Stanley Lockwood mean anything to you no I can't say it does sorry let's meet up later great scarf before you saying sir it's not what you're thinking who doesn't know what I'm thinking she's writing a book it's got a policeman in it Oh massage come on try this and either have you well when in Rome oh I've got something interesting for you sir look over there reckons he saw something in the boiling room just before Dexter Lockwood disappeared what is best you tells you obstruction it's interesting it's not quiet taste mmm peppery fruity hint of turmeric quite autumnal yes should we do some work oh this way any idea when we could start working Spectre but today I'm afraid mr.

Judd at trade price I don't make much but every penny helps find it hard to believe you're short of money mrs.

on young Alex Hardwick radicular chippy little sod boozing envy from every pore and that's for his dreary parents lovely old Sonya and Sam they've been with her for years they have our interests at heart corporates they hate our guts heaven knows where we'd be without Alex yes and look where he's got us we are the bank millions the domestic markets dried up now the factories closed down because somebody shoved us stiffen the steriliser not even you could find a silver lining in that little lot well they're back the goshawk tsar bow dear God Oh cheer up I absolutely bloody bow give up and so please don't slam the door coverage [Music] oh thank you I thought I recognized Dexter Lockwood on the guided tour but when I went up to say hello he he ran off like a scalded cat so I thought maybe it wasn't him after all then it turns out it was maybe it was the glasses I haven't seen him wearing glasses before you see and I should have told you I know but I didn't want to talk about it in front of the family wouldn't because I'd had some meetings with the Fieldway foods people I was hoping I could hammer out a compromise that would save the firm about him to sell it out right well not a month ago suddenly everything went quiet I found Dexter to ask him what was going on well we didn't return my calls it'll start your sergeant but [Music] did you know about exes grandfather in his connection to the media you told me about it maybe that's typical of the planets well miss goody-two-shoes out boozing with a copper you don't like you very much - you're such a teacher's pet when she married - started working at the factory she made a point of doing every job in the place talk about sucking on wood you mean every job who you know she worked on the production line in the bottling plant you name it she did it she used to work in the warehouse yes I think she did I know but it was the slightest bit impressed anyway we're here to talk about my book not her what's the book about again it's about a talented sensitive woman struggling to break free from her Philistine materialistic farming what's the policeman come into it that's what we're here to find out when Helen worked in the warehouse deceived her to have Auckland is that why you're here to pump me about the damn fire and she can well of course she did there's not much else to do in a warehouse sister why do you think that still didn't return your calls Mama's maybe making a loss but the name that the brand still worth something not secret recipe it's mostly sugar and vinegar anyway the other ingredients just looked good on the label tomatoes onion garlic tamarind ginger scotch bonnet cinnamon you've done your homework I'm impressed but my father always had how much money sandwiches every day I used to read the label it was so exotic and I was very disappointed when I found out a scotch bonnet was a sort of pepper not a Celtic hat oh I better go and see her rate is getting on there it's a pair of ghost hawks and Albert would so has taken to sleeping in the hide that must be inconvenient when was Albert window across from Plummer house so it's not as though he's miles away well thank you for the drink inspector I enjoyed it you too Helen I wanted to ask you about the EPA that Amelia signed in Rafe's theta what enduring power of attorney I don't know anything about it I'm afraid as I said the plumbers keep family matters to themselves okay thank you good night good night good night that was your research them stuff it was quite interesting sir I was yours Helen didn't know about the connection between Lockwood in the mediation know about the enduring power of attorney oh yeah do you believe it maybe well here's the thing sir Helen Plummer used to work in the warehouse apparently the lady can drive a forklift but why would Helen rundown deaths over the forklift he was trying to help her bailout plan was only just keeping an open mind sir he's interesting hey Scott apparently Wraith does his bird-watching in a wood across from Plummer house I think tomorrow Scott we should pay Rafe Plummer a visit in his natural habitat there's a color called oyster I think would go well with a blue carpet Wooster since when has always two been together it's a sort of a grade huh Oh gray I've heard of yeah I know it's boring we can't all spend our evenings boozing with glamorous murderers who's better Scott you a Helen Helen Helen Plummer is not the only suspect bright attractive hard-working she must be guilty of something Oh such pretty attractive you I could hear it in your voice what is this do it's been so long since I've cooked it I can't remember here this might help so rough plumber gets his mum to sign the power of attorney thing and tries to freak her out with a hanging man trick yes the idea being that then he can take over the running of our estate there's one problem with that theory how which is doesn't have a mistake so both my shares in the family firm and where the firm's concern she does exactly what rape tells it to anyway there it is yes you have LeBron Scott white chapter see if you can find the hanging there go away and shall Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby mr. plumber yeah well uh I'd rather see you at the office newspaper so what I the problem is you're never there a pair of gossips would summer I'm very keen they should do so again next time I I assume we've never seen a goshawk on the wing inspector dad no I don't think I have no no you'd remember if you had the thrilling birds in flight to see a goshawk fired speed through a dense wood like this the agility the anticipation borders on the supernatural so I'm like us blundering around down here is that what do you think I've drawn mr. flower wandering around don't we all did you get on with your father inspector yes on the whole yes but I didn't my father's eyes I was always blundering around double is he was right but Sir but when I'm here watching the Goss Hawks what's that it's probably a my sergeant blundering around only mr. plumber I wanted to ask you mr. farmer about the enduring power of attorney your mother spent why do you want to know about that well someone's going to great lengths to frighten you and I'm curious to know well she signed the papers three months ago pressure was being applied on her four other quarters so I you mean ensign well yes actually no he meant no harm I'm sure and sounds well intentions really so all I felt that I ought to take precautions yes yes quite I didn't want to upset mummy or an self-doubt mother I do try not to upset people in spite of it so difficult the family the employees the bank so many of them that are also so easily upset No thank you mr. Rana um which is the way to plumb a house from here that way please don't repeat what I said about an self they must have been two of them Scotland one keeping watch with the other hoisting and lowering the dummy sir indigestion tablets Dexter Lockwood had an ulcer his stomach was full of antacids I couldn't be Dexter sir last time Amelia Plummer saw the hanging man was the day after Dexter was killed but Dexter Lockwood didn't come maybe his accomplice had to do it on his own and made a mess of him she did sight into it the last time she saw it the body didn't disappear straightaway over another chat with Lockwood's senior now there's a man who really hates the plumbers come to tell me who's killed my son I'm afraid not we wondered if you could take a look at textas room set your son's car in the driveway sir yes you got the keys no would it be all right if we would have tried this mr. Lockwood if you must thank you now if we could could show me the room in here that's his office what are you looking for exactly anything that may tell us why your son I have some skill mr. muckle you've run out of ideas haven't yet [Music] may I what my casket [Music] [Music] don't suppose you know the password - Dexter's computer no I don't don't suppose you know what that missing file is even yeah yeah don't [Music] what puzzles me mr. lovely is why you and your son were down an hour but we'll try to frighten the living daylights no you don't deny them I know what you're talking about that thing kids nothing but that either Ben what about the file mr. Lockwood who put this in the bin why are you interrogating me because my son who was killed yes indeed it was mr. Locke and I think I'm beginning to understand the reason of why an enduring power of attorney they seem to be all the rage in this was only signed by Amelia Plummer giving full power of attorney to Dexter Lockwood if she's unable to administer her estate herself dated a month ago round about the time Amelia Plummer start seeing the hanging man you don't like her very much to you mr. Lockwood I'm not fond of the plumbers full stop not fond your son goes missing what do you do you go down to Albert wooden Hall that thing up a tree to frighten an old lady they said we had a rattle of good and proper on the day of the AGM that's right drive her mad and activate the power of attorney no you listen to be Barnaby you listen to me mr. Lockwood I am trying to find out who killed your son and all I'm getting from you is lies evasions and an attitude that does your son no credit I talk now you start being straight with me or I will take you down to Causton station and charge you with conspiring to pervert the course of justice not to mention coercing the old girl into signing this oh she didn't need coercing and why was that mr. Lockwood it was the letters what letters Dexter Lockwood came to me about month ago he said he'd found some letters that I had written to his grandfather and would I like them back I said yes of course I don't have any of the letters that Stanley wrote to me Laurie's fandom and burnden mrs. fellows these recognize oh yes thank you sure yes of course I recognize it that's why I lied about seeing Dexter I I feel so guilty about it why did you sign it mrs. Plummer Dexter said Helen and Rafe were planning to sell plumbers to Fieldway foods he said what ecstasy he said the firm was in terrible debt he was worried that once the deal went through and all the debts were paid there would be nothing left for me and I would be shut away in some dreadful nursing home and you believed him I love my children but I'm under no illusions about them they're all of them in their separate ways totally unreliable I'm afraid the picture Dexter painted was all too believable he was sweet like his grandfather It was as if Stanley had come back to me this is dated a month ago can you remember mrs. Plummer when you first saw the hanging man well it was just after my birthday so martica sorry mrs. mama well at least we've got a motive for now Scott somebody must have found out what she signed over the power of attorney to Dexter Lockwood question is who well none of the plumbers would have been particularly impressed since they would well we do anything else we'll find out what the Dex Artemis computer started out Helen Plummer was the one at all the dealings with Dexter wasn't she said it's just open light Scott sir those coppers are looking very bright eyed and bushy tailed some way perhaps there aren't you handsome what do you mean you were trying to steal the recipe for Dexter Lockwood weren't you nonsense it's no-good lying Anselm he told me he told you you mean you knew it yes he asked me out wanted to know all about who owned shares and so on said he'd get me on the field way bored if I helped him me too two-faced little town about a month ago stop calling me me too nobody does that to me bloody hell Cara that's not tell anyone I won't if you won't anyway I didn't kill him did you certainly not that's how they make their money what do you mean you can never get a doll out of the jar they do it on purpose was just confused can't the glamorous mrs. Plummer give you some on the house that might be to screw is a bright you haven't noticed have you noticed what my new reading glasses yes they're very um very what very sexy very scary give me a clue friend of glasses [Music] glasses Scott sir Helen Plummer said that she'd never seen Dexter Lockwood wearing glasses before what became of the glasses well they were in the incinerator sir and the soccer boys have been through every inch of the factory sir whoever killed Dexter Lockwood was hoping to get the body off the premises during the night they were probably reckoning on a security guard sleeping through his shift as usual but in the middle of the night and some turns up creating mayhem and after he's gone the security guard starts doing his job properly the ones controlling the factory so I make do with hiding the body in a sterilised maybe it losses Phillip while it was being killed or when the body was being moved yep so you're moving the body glasses come off you bend down you pick them up can you put them in your pocket and you put them in the pocket of the white code do you have to wear on the factory floor and in the general panic you forget all about them so we check all the workouts ice have already gone to the laundry let's ask us on your hard work he's bad enough come on so what else on your rule of a little Upton in ten minutes well that's the last thing we want isn't it oh yeah [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] No hello [Music] I told you not to turn the lights on Alex oh dear [Music] [Music] well well he should never have come here trying to muscle in on other people's lives rev Alex your fault than my dad I swear it was a terrible accident [Music] did you get them [Music] yes I've got mr. plumber the hard works have been taken to Causton police station I want to talk to you before I charge them they've already tried to help though I'm sure they were they've always been a tower of strength the hard work something they yes they have and when Stanley Lockwood was hanged I imagine they rallied round then too of course fact a whole Hardwick clan came out of that very well promotion company housing the son Alex becomes manager he's a very promising young man until Dexter Lockwood turned up a thorn in the flesh just like his grandfather yes darling you don't have to tell them anything it's all right Helen I might as well get it over with I knew that Dexter Lockwood had approached various members of the family but when he got mummy to sign the power of attorney that was the last straw it must have made you very angry of course it did of all the underhand devious then it superseded the one amelia had signed in your favor yes and then when mummy started seeing men hanging from the trees I knew what was going on grief don't say anymore I told Dexter Lockwood that I changed my mind I told him I wanted to do a deal was a field where foods he said he'd have to look around the factory first he'd never set foot in the first floor obviously I said that would be difficult what if you were recognized it might start tongues wagging and he suggested joining one of our guided tours and that suited you perfectly indeed - to start any minute I bet the arrangement was that I'd meet him in the warehouse I'd made sure the side door was left unlocked once he was in the warehouse I uh I cornered him and ran him down a forklift I waited until every want to go home then I am I cleaned up as best I could [Music] then I dried Lockwood to the main doors of the warehouse that's when his classes fell I picked him up and put them in my pocket my plan was to leave him by the doors and then somehow try and get him into one of the delivery vans it became obvious that wasn't gonna work thanks to Anselm the security guard started doing his job thought I realized I wasn't going to get deal the body off the premises so I well strip Dexter Lockwood and shoved him into the sterilizer yes yes that's right he was covered in relish and you did this all by yourself of course oh there you are inspector you have your confession there's the end of it I'm afraid not mr. plumber because I had to leave a word of that would you stand up please sir Scott the code so you private office [Music] texture lock was classes they weren't in yogurt they were no wives you put your coat on run cotinue and the fingerprints on the glasses heaven they'll be awesome you recognize Dexter Lockwood on the factory floor didn't you boy careful your husband to Kant told you about his meeting with him Dexter Lockwood so you know what he was up to [Music] so we followed him into the warehouse [Music] you saw them talking together and that is when you decided to kill Dexter [Music] [Music] [Music] all the rest happened pretty much as you described it mr. plumber except it wasn't you who picked up the glasses was it it was your wife [Music] so then you'd had to think of a place to hide the body before he who get it out of the factory I wonder who thought of a stimulator I did as usual I was the only one thinking straight we stripped him and dragged him to the boiling room [Music] then we had Keith Carter coming back [Music] [Music] the question is why did your wife killed Dexter Lockwood in such a reckless fashion mr. plumber because of what he did to my mother of course and because she knew that I was not for the job myself no mr. Plummer your wife killed Dexter Lockwood so he couldn't tell you what about this what is it this is a report prepared by Dexter Lockwood on the plumbers assets if you look here you'll see that the the factory itself well that's not really valued very highly at all look the property in little Upton the houses where the employees live that's worth quite a bit but the real jewel of the crown sir is Albert would would rupture no no sir Albert woods been reclassified it's no longer green belt your wife and Dexter Lockwood they hired a consultant to assess the likelihood of getting planning permission as you can read there he thought there was a very good chance indeed that woods big enough to build a small town large fortune build houses in Elberton would I would have saved the firm rave that's all I cared about I promise you but what about the birds oh the birds someone had to do something I saw that the lights were up it's all right mommy go back to bed what's going on it's the middle of the night oh then I'll tell you tomorrow mummy and where's Morris thought he'll have something to say about this [Music] I'll take you back to the cottage shy are you [Music] it's race mommy your son [Music] Oh STIs I'm going to bed and so should all of you it's not to relate to me deliberately around [Music] [Music] I suppose this means I'm in charge it means we're in charge what do you know about running a factory what do you know about running a factory girls bells Cara does this mean we'll actually have to work don't say it to Scott I told you so to get a new blue car no what about the pores of the oyster paint no good I'm sure that was gonna work well I'm glad to see you taking an interest at last I bought you a new jar of this oh thank you make sure the new bothered I thought it was your favorite but it was but it isn't anymore I think they changed the recipe sorry [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music]
