one at a time couldn't he sir so why didn't the other one put up a fight and if the other was already killed before the other one got in why didn't you notice unless there were two murderers or both hiding in the back if the killer did get in here they must both have been out of the vehicle at the time leaving it unlocked then they got back in one at a time and he killed them one at a time I

handling yeah Wynyard we have been instructed but I'm not holding my breath it's in a hell of a state anyway it's hardly on the market yet mr. mrs. cave was staying at the fellas hotel while they were house hunting and they did say they were coming to see you I think I would have remembered perhaps it'll come back to you you haven't asked us why we are interested in mr. mrs. cave parking overtaking on a double white line mr. mrs. cave was found dead early this morning not 200 yards away from wood yard not exactly giving it the hard salish a garden sheds go for half a million in midsummer and

dead 1916 two sons killed in northern France not a lucky house Senate apparently not we better take a closer look at with you well it's certainly gotten atmosphere neglect [Music] have a look in here

Leslie and Barbara flux find out where they live Jones sir [Music] er come well you know welcome you're welcome generous sentiment mr. flux mr. Leslie flux yes I'm Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby this is DC James may we come in please yes coming thank you my wife Barbara how do you play no don't you mind us no no we're working on a new book festivals of old midsummer we like to live in the spirit of the past to live the past is to understand the past if only we had the space we need a bigger stage a house where we can bring full expression to our theories like Wynyard perhaps ah yes can I assume that your visits to do with the murders who don't sound very surprised you expect it with a house like that this is the cause of all the problems a twin yard [Music] [Music] what is it it's a human heart it's stuck with thorns and pins hidden in the chimney the hearth is the heart of the house guess the hearth and you cursed the house the idea is to harm anyone living in the house and you took this from one yard we rescued it of course we'll return it as soon as the new owners settle in anything this is the reason why we need has stood empty all vision MTM but not deserted there's still a presence protecting the house what's wrong well you see what's happened to midsummer hideous conservatories all over the place Hacienda style bunker and who's behind it builders and estate agents you were inherit Davis estates this morning you left as we arrived oh yes Harriet Davis nothing no but I'm saying needs saying that woman has been systematically raping midsummer but she won't get away with it for much longer houses like when you'd have Souls they need to be loved nurtured thank you weirdos or what they seriously won't matter house don't they and the case had a copy of her book and they were at the estate agency they make other ghost students just want to sell a little books don't they and they don't want anyone else to buy that house Jos do you know I found places I didn't even know existed I bet you didn't know there's a nuclear fallout shelter just by Badgers drift no I did not I thought you said this survey is all about buildings under threat it is hmm but what sort of threat could you pose to a nuclear fallout children I mean if it's designed to withstand a nuclear blast [Music] [Music] [Music] have you got a minute sir I thought I'd do some ghost-hunting I left this at the house last night [Music] [Music] different drunk a ghost who gives piano lessons could be our murderer sir yeah and our murder weapon was a piano while I wasn't boy didn't sound frightened did he I hope I wasn't out of line sir no no you were not well done look I think it best he got out of the school said him find out who these letters how many more times there are no ghosts miss my dad's friends a postman and he found the dead people and he said that their heads have been chopped [Music] and for saying so now someone who really knows what happened is going to come and tell you so you won't have to make up any more silly stories is it the postman mace no it's a policeman they're only children James don't smile be reassuring I'll pick up in about 90 we get a lot of time wasters you see people trying to fill up a wet afternoon no intention of buying but we both suddenly remembered the couple you were asking about did you think mr. mrs. cave were time wasters the point is the vendors instructions are that Wynyard should go to the right sort of people right sort of people he doesn't want to see it spoiled mr. and mrs. cave looked like the sort who would well I think they had plans you get to know the sort well I'm sure you do you don't Maps over by her lined up already do I'm the agent for the vendor it's my job to get the best price I can for him mr. mrs. flux seemed very interested in the property I don't think they're in a position to make an offer on anywhere like when yet who is the vendor he wishes to remain anonymous Oh does he but can I remind you that two people were interested in one of your properties have been found dead but very close to that property now I suppose I could caution you like what Charlie Mac would do he lives in London but he's staying at the feathers I do [Music] well I only said it for a joke well two people have died Phillip now I think that you should tell the others that you made those stories up I'm gonna do that I keep telling them there's no such thing as ghosts good lad where did you get this found it it's got a bell on there and it's a police car [Music] I'm sure that's the lab we heard on the tape in which case I wasn't really the moment to ask him sir but I've got his address how did you get on with Davis I wish she finally admitted the caves had been into the office but she told them she couldn't let them view the house strict instructions from the pen door she's got another buyer lined up any money she's on a backhander to make sure they get it to someone like the fluxes perhaps they reach would you say sir unless they've got some sort of hold over Phillip showed me one of these too you must talk to that lad first chance you get ugly I will where is this midsummer Newton sweet isn't it this is born of sweet joys and now you're gonna tell me someone's applied for permission to do something unspeakable to it I got a copy of the planning application it's a big extension do we know the name of the person applying to commit this atrocity local builder Jerry Moore Jerry Moore I think I'm gonna need time to take this in but a first-class effort so far well done Joyce mr. Magwood yes morning sir I'm Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby from Causton CID and this is acting Detective Constable germs and we'd like if we may to ask you a few questions Oh be my guest thank you gonna dope you gentlemen a house called Winnie ah yeah you've got it on the market uh from you with the Davis estates a film Astrid yeah for all the good eats doing three weeks now she's been saying there's been no interest harmfully I've come down from London to wake it up a bit how long have you owned the property sir I was evacuated here in the war don't draft the old place but the couple will be nice there are no kids of their own so they left a place to me then when was this oh yes so what made you suddenly decide to sell it well I'm getting on a bit now and the missus she's dead I thought that's been worth a few Bob have you been there recently no not inside ice in the hell of a stay I just said to the estate agent do the best you came just a quick sale that's all over [Music] listen the planning is a formality so just push the sail through it will take six weeks max for the rebuild we get it back on for another 200k with 5050 we move on to the next one the police are all over the place what I can't connect you to the murders no two people have been in my office that very morning asking about the house wake up and there's a couple of weirdos from the same village what lesson Barbara flux they know I'm involved with you know what we're doing is illegal you do understand that don't worry about them I'll soon so no no let me deal with them we have to take our time with this much time have you got a feeling it down but they were in there enough for me let's usually tell you well whatever you want [Music] she won't be long why don't you sit over there and read a magazine [Laughter] [Music] Jack [Music] this is Merrik yes acting DC Jones I spoke to Philip at school today he's in his bedroom come in I have told him I don't want him going anywhere near that house in the woods that is why you've come to talk to him isn't it yes I am so sorry just give me a call when he turns up I need to talk to him urgently mrs. Mack have you seen Philip no [Music] are you in the hotel what hotel where my mom works in courses called out fiance me basically well I thought he was you okay well don't worry now let's see if we get this going it wasn't I would like please open him on this you've seen that before wasn't you I'm aware of it yes but you don't rate it professionally many great men began their careers as amateurs mr. mrs. flux are however what one might call rank that matters rank in the sense of being off so it's not a proper history book have you met mr. mrs. flux yes we have you mustn't confuse amateur dramatics with genuine scholarship they are very interested in a house called Wynyard they think it's haunted Oh God when it is a very special house very special indeed but haunted police they aren't passionate about it yes well let's hope we can protect it from the misguided enthusiasm of the likes of Leslie and Barbara flux you're not perhaps interested in the property or sylvain from a conservation point of view yes have you been to the house no not yet but I'll have to get no please I beg you don't go I'm not frightened of ghosts no it did two people have been murdered very close to that house mr. Kato anyone has been up there in the last 48 hours they're on our list of suspects it is a crime scene so I'm telling you don't go certainly gets the more worked up doesn't it my guess is he saw the house was on the market and wanted all to himself hello mrs. Merrick uh-huh I'm coming over what folks been taking food from the hotel she wants me to have a word with him I'll drop you off I wouldn't mind half an hour about the house on my own soak up something I just knew these things disappearing all the time you know just silly little things like bread cheese fruit I could lose my job why has he been stealing food no idea and then I saw him calling to some old man like he knew him of course he didn't what old man is this just a man staying at the hotel he's a nice enough chap but I mean you never know dear [Music] [Music] right I better get going give me a call he gets in where the hell have you been know it oh I know when you're lying hold on hold on Philip this is important have you been the house in the woods and what did I tell you about that place what we doing up there look around come on tell the truth Philip were you with anyone right did you see anyone Philip an old man in a suit with shiny shoes and a stripy tie what are you talking about Philip I get very annoyed when people play games with me while his mum's worried sick about him thinks he's been taking the food to sell old man at the house she's probably right it's all the biscuits an orange on October the man he was talking to on my tape I thought he meant it was Charlie Magwood his mum said the lacks oil at the hotel Charlie didn't recognize him so who is this man who leaves this tuning fork behind after teaching the boy to play the enemy and is that the same person who takes wire out of the piano to Caracas roses cave we should stake the place out sir let's see who else it attracts [Music] no no no Babs let me have a go oh wait you can't make a sound basket with an imperfect bottom that says so in the book I'm sorry to interrupt you again would you mind Babs is in a tangle with a willow once a couple of points I'd like to clear up if I may when the house gets a reputation for being cursed or wanted that'll have the effect of putting off prospective buyers don't you think you have created just such a reputation for Wynyard haven't you did you kill mr. mrs. Kay for the same reason to discourage anyone else from putting in an offer oh we're not murderers did you see anyone at Wynyard who might be because if they saw you you're not suggesting that we that Babs and I are in danger just tell us who you see do you mind if I go inside we seem to have got embroiled in something we're not used to this sort of thing all we wanted was somewhere we could cherish I told you sobbing we should never have got involved we should never have trusted that woman do you mean Harriet Davis yes how exactly are you involved with her we couldn't afford when you hit them price she was asking we knew what she was up to be the Builder she'd be handling a property and telling the vendor it was a selling then she let the Builder have it as a ridiculous price he'd give it a quick makeover double the price and they'd split the profit it's the oldest trick in the book so what did you do we went to see Harriet Davis and we suggested that she might let us have Wynyard at a discount in return for keeping your mouth shut about her other activities yes yes you blackmailed her we encouraged her to do something decent for once one final question when did you last tune the piano time to tighten the screws on Harriet there's you good for that detective oh I think so sir and I'll talk to the solicitor supposedly acting for mr. Magwood you think he's in on the scam too but it's some Olivia Jones [Music] still acting constable Jones no miss this is for real well I'm afraid you're too late to put in an offer on this one I've just sold it Oh shame I'll have to keep looking oh sorry what about Wynyard any movement there I was wondering if it had any interest from a mr. Giles cater curator of the midsummer museum educator yes but his interest is purely in the conservation aspect meaning he doesn't want it falling into the hands of someone like Jerry Moore does DCI Barnaby know you're out on your own constable mr. and mrs. flux told us that their interests were purely in the conservation aspect - but that's not true is it I've told you they're fanta cysts they come out of the woodwork whenever a place like Wynyard hits the market they've got you in a position where you'll have to make them an offer of course you do and they offer you make them won't be in the best interests of the vendor will it doesn't it a man would know you're about to sell him down the river so that you can get yourself out of difficulty with mr. mrs. flux if mr. Magwood isn't happy with the service he's getting from me he's perfectly at liberty to instruct another agent mr. Magwood 'he's a pensioner miss Davis and I think you and Jerry Moore saw him coming an old man down from London and you thought he'd be a pushover didn't you tell mr. mrs. K found the house of their dreams is that why you killed them for the help of Jerry Moore of course well he could you bringing the Magwood file please um it's the old man from London with the tumbledown house my predecessor Geoffrey hauling tonight with his boots on he was 73 and put down roots so taking a while for me to get into terms with his ugly mother antiquated filing system ah Mandy thanks very much great look oh yes yes they've got the property on with one of the more enterprising local estate agents actually okay how can I help I am investigating a double murder that took place clips to Wynyard and I was hoping you'd be able to help me with some of the recent history of the place my gosh mr. Magwood seems very keen to sell and I understand there are a number of potential buyers for the house but included him two people who were who were killed sorry well this file hadn't seen any action for 15 years or more when suddenly mr. Magwood brother Charles turns out with power of attorney saying that Jack wants to sell the property his brother hmm so so the mag would actually selling the house is not the legal owner no no but the papers are all in order here's Jack Magwood signature so I release the deeds to his brother and as far as I know the sales going ahead actually it did put me into rather a quandary oh well a couple of days ago I had a visit from someone who said that she'd heard the property was up for sale and I confirmed that was the case however the lady was adamant that the legal owner did not want to sell but the legal owner is check how did she know well she wouldn't say she's just kept on telling me she knew what he wanted in the name of this lady is miss Woodall grace Woodall Sunnybank Row midsummer Newton Thank You mr. Howell thank you very much [Applause] thanks Jerry you never think the police have been back to talk to me again they're on to us they think we did the murders hold on we you're the agent no we're gonna drop this one now it was good while it lasted but it's over no way I have got too much invested in this and when yards gonna be our best earner yes he might have been if you kept your mouth shut listen I haven't said anything to anybody you explain to me how that couple decades knew that Wynyard was on the market no they heard it from a little single mother up in the council houses the war are you talking about in the feathers now I don't care if you are shagging her what I do care about you think you don't discuss our business while you're doing it listen I haven't told her anything it's finished I should have known you wouldn't be able to handle it listen Harriet I am warning you if you try and cut me I'm already out and if the police do come back to me I won't be going down on my own excuse me sorry to bother you not at all dear lady I wonder if you could help me with some directions I'm looking for a house called Wynyard vineyard I'm afraid you're well out of the way well it doesn't seem to be marked on this map no your best bet is to go yes out of the village what back that way you'll come to a main road turn right and keep going for about five miles five miles sure you're in completely the wrong neck of the woods you know I thought I was quite close those do you're well out of your way sorry thank you Joey most-favored sir he and Harriet Davis definitely in it together so did mrs. Davis confess not on tape sir but we should bring them in let's not get ahead of ourselves here listen Jones Charlie mobile there's got a brother and when yard actually belongs to that brother now I want you to go and have another word with young Phillip do you remember him saying the old man he saw up at the house used to go to his school you think that sir he's been stealing the food for Charlie's brother okay I should have said before the house belongs to my brother Jack why didn't you tell us you had a brother mr. weisl is in prison for murdering a copper it's not the sort of thing you talk about I'd like you to talk about it to me mister oh it's uh 18 years ago now he killed a young PC Colin Armstrong in Hatton Garden I don't want to go through it all why don't you do your own homework what would be really helpful at this stage mr. McClure is a clear idea of your brother Jack's connection with Wynyard well he was evacuated there he was very lucky I suppose the Barretts were a very nice couple of course typical Jack charmer they were eating out of his hands in five minutes couldn't do enough for him they are never like me I must be mum and beg but after the war check used to come down and visit them and of course nobody surprised they left in the house but they see he saw her didn't he so the place stayed the way it was the day they died did you get on with your brother oh we're very different people this power of attorney why did your brother Jack suddenly ask you to sell the house after all this time well he's due to be released in a couple of months I was thinking what to do about mummy so give me the power of attorney and ask me to sell the place I wish you told us all this at the start Charlie yeah I didn't think [Music] [Applause] it's not steaming they've got loads of food in them were you hungry the mall hasn't got much money it was lunches for me and Danny I don't believe you feel it and I know he got that car you showed me though this man in the playground what did I tell you he said he used to come to school here when he was little then I went to the house in the woods because my brother left my bike there and I saw him again he said he used to live there he's really nice he's teaching me to play the piano he never did those murders and no he didn't I want to go home now miss I'm gonna see my mom thanks Philip but stay away from that house understand it's all here and I've been on Polly field open prison where Jack Magwood is serving a life sentence for the murder of PC Colin Armstrong they're having garden robbery yes someone I remember reading about that case yes Conn did a week ago there's an old port call up front so when you're disowned by a convicted killer he escapes from prison and a couple of days later two people have found murdered near the house I wonder I wonder if these two brothers aren't one on the same man got a uniform all around the hotel so tomorrow first thing we could ask charlie if his name is Jack goes Joyce [Music] the man I was talking to my tip by 30 minutes John man would his mum says that's all about telling recognizing Jones will yards straight away and bring some backup [Music] [Music] [Music] Sehwa choice so he's now say we were no more no one's gonna hurt him I promise [Music] I would have arresting you for the murders of Peter and Caroline cave he hasn't done anything he hasn't [Music] stupid old fool 18 years he's done he's only weeks away from his release statement tell her well just play that though rather hoping if you would tell us I'm staying it are you quite sure Charlie the Jag really really wanted to sell that house well put it this way my daughter wanted to but he knew yet yeah I don't know whether you've heard this Charlie but two people have been founded not a couple hundred yards away from winiata they were both murdered and we know they were interested in buying that house and now we discover your brother a convicted murderer no not jack Robin I know he's reckless but he wouldn't he couldn't [Music] [Music] oh I'm Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby from Causton CID this is DC Jones I'd be extremely grateful if you could let us have a moment please you went to see Jack Magwood solicitor about Wynyard why did you do that I'd heard it was up for sale and you told the solicitor that rejected massage yes oh no detective modest alert I know jack Ned would I know how he feels about the place he would never sell it check my good been staying with you during the last few days Jack should Layfield prison no miss what home check my wood is in custody in Causton under arrest on suspicion of murder yeah nope Fred soon oh not again it couldn't happen again so if you have been harboring him you can be charged as an accessory to murder Jack Magwood is not a murderer he never was and he never will be he was put away for something he didn't do ask anyone who knows him we've done that miss Whittle a long chat very long chat with his brother Charlie ah yes and I can guess what Charlie told you as well I know jack I've I know him very well we grew up together no that was us when we were young they were the best years of our lives you remember the Barretts they were the parents Jack should have had not that feckless Bunch back in London did you know Jack won a scholarship to Causton grammar he was heading for university Oxford Cambridge but the family made him go back to London and work on a fruit and veg store can you imagine what that did it what can you tell us about the murder of PC Armstrong it was what killed the Barretts seem Jacko's prison seeing him go to prison for something he hadn't done and then when the appeal was turned on well they they give up hope we all gave up hope but the evidence evidence against Jack was very compelling he never found the gun no did they that was the problem Jack never held a gun in his life if they found the gun they would have known it wasn't Jack you know he refused to say anything in his own defense yes why do you think that was he was frightened the mad woods were mixed up in all sorts in those days Charlie knew Jack was innocent I think he probably even knew who done it he could have spoken up for Jack but he wouldn't I suppose he was scared as well oh I'll be glad when he's gone well if he's disturbing you I can have a word I wouldn't mind if it was just the hammering and banging but the arguments who's he arguing
