Mildred Danvers I came up just now to visit couldn't get a reply now Polly brought the passkey doctor Oh dad as you say this doctor um what's the cause of death the heart it's actually had a history I understand nothing for you to ruin your weekend over mr.

Marwat in mrs danvers' room when I took up her cocoa a half Nilus they knew each other mrs. Dean of his mother from years ago apparently she attended his wife's funeral yesterday who made mrs. Danvers cocoa last night dad did he the copper I'm Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby is Cathy Hewlett church deacon I've just heard about Mildred Danvers do you know how she died that has yet to be precisely established why do you ask I heard her talking to Anthony Gant yesterday about her burial plot she told him she doubted if her death would be a natural one choice everything all right possibly not I pulled out a team never a dull moment she's broken it seems wouldn't you rather drive over to Oxford mum oh don't be a [ __ ] Joyce this is much more fun shopping Jones where we got sir we've got Mildred Danvers 878 deceased and you don't think she died of old age let's say I got reasonable doubt gets you out from under anyway I'm not in the habit of using murder as an excuse no of course but there are upsides but it's a bit late secure the scene as best you can hold on to that for B'Elanna I gotta make a call [Music] Oh marvelous baggy skin because no two shots ahead your nap you're next to shoot [Music] the skimming Tain's are having the best of the luck early not luck no they're just better than us I'm afraid I've been for a long time there's acceptance in the main the riders aren't much of a match for the skimming Tain's these days so what can I do for you Mildred Denver's her death might have been due to foul play what if it makes you say that we believe her hip flask might have been spiked oh I I never met her until yesterday there was coffee for the guests after the funeral and I was introduced briefly and I believe that you went to see Mildred after that meeting last night that's right yes of course I did um yeah she left her gloves behind I return them to her Henry final shot to you a bull's-eye would tie the competition [Music] congratulations wisdom thanks Lorna Hastings our chair this is my daughter Fiona and you've met Cathy I understand our invigilator for the scheming turn ride ladies Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby I understand that you all knew mr.

Barnaby retribution time [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] good afternoon ladies and gentlemen I'm part of it and I'm standing in for missing anything in the flask 10 year-old brandy and lashings of barbiturates maybe I should stop the proceedings possibly happy huh I'd like to see you try welcome you all to this year's skimming tomb there as you all probably know it traditionally starts with a unique event so without further ado I'll hand you over to the chair person was Laura Hastings for this year's engine ride nomination [Applause] charge is for flagrant misogyny and the nominee is the Reverend Anthony [Applause] skimming Tain's have laid down their challenge now is for the rider to show his mitt the women may beach the rider freely with their skimming ladles but not impede the donkey's progress if the rider can lasts a course without falling off his mount he wins the right to suspend the ride indefinitely if not the riders must return next year to try again [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] I'm a skinny confetti [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] he's being shot [Music] well don't look at me [Music] [Music] because then you best if you go help or volunteer if I can get mom away from all the excitement yes Jones Jones leave that it's pointless I've got uniform collecting all the cameras someone somewhere I saw some useful foot ah good thinking sir oh thank you so glad you approve Allen you are Allen aren't you and Tom Barnaby Causton CID and you worked for the Reverend Gant's didn't you mr. Nye pay me or people here I mind him Polly told me that you talked to the to your people they talks to me chatter chatter Ellen did you see the Reverend Gramps this morning before the Rhine morning Reverend Moore nning Allen and did the Reverend Gant seem as usual salford no problems miss Lorna she never come Lorna lonely histories there was a Barney lawn Hastings and the Reverend gaps they argued this morning she never come your I fell friend anything I can do to help mr. Barnaby I wanna hear it's quite special you know what I mean yes doctor give me a list of all those people who were prescribed barbiturates for during the last year that would be very helpful where's God quite a bit first off valium found them in a desk against name recent date only two pills left thing is though if Gant did spike Mildred's flask last night and he was the first person in her room this morning why leave the murder weapon for us to find why indeed how look at this sir windows been Jenny now I sent a PC straight over here to watch the place after the shooting sir the river and get left here just before the ride the intruder got here denim or during the ride yeah didn't think that's hard to say all this stuff it looks if the Reverend Gant was trying to mount some sort of legal challenge against the skimming tenacity it is a Milford Danvers effect something yeah it looks like it maybe she gave them to him sir or maybe not [Music] our sneakin mr. Barnaby that's devastating news Mulder it was a great mate we um we met in Africa in 75 now Antony was a a one-off I was wondering you know if any ideas about motivation for murder yes I can't imagine it Antony was a troubled soul pretty obsessive obsess about worth trying to prevent the incursion of women into all aspects of life its honor loser there obviously what's your appointment of miss Hulett as his deacon was that intended to underline that point cruel I know but educational compromise whatever Antonis strongest suit yeah I understand that you had her some reason for writing to mrs danvers was that's something concerning Reverend again yes very sad I mean I used what influence I have but he had to leave Oxford wound up back in Broughton for his sins poor man what seems oh it was some embarrassing as it was a young man on a posh christened party oak Tony was gay we know and well he beat had a few and here this young chap were discovered great him behind the champagne fountain I wrote to Mildred about it when she first got back to avoid awkward questions for Antonia you don't eat the dead I could have caused some kind of problem I don't think anything at the moment Archdeacon old patients prescribed barbiturates during the past year as requested Thank You Hubert Reverend Kent yes he lived on his nerves did Anthony Cathy sprained her ankle last month couldn't sleep and Rowland Marwood his mother's illness took a toll seems you were a bit quick to assume natural causes doctor clearly I was yes to mrs danvers' have any enemies you know of in the village of him someone settling old scores was coming to me for she went away but her fighting days were long over mr. party the early evidence suggests that mrs danvers was murdered by the Reverend Kent to stop her exposing young secret in his past except everybody knew his secret everybody knew that Antony and Henry Marwood real half-brothers yes Henry's father was a bit of a Roma Antony was his love child his parents died in the big fire in 1960 Henry's parents were killed in that fire too when they yes and it was them but he has no memory of their others to family friends so devastating tragedy that's who Allen talks to you know all those poor souls lost that night six still it's to all intents and purposes but I often think he remembers so the rest of us [Music] yeah thanks me the barbiturate found in Mildred's flask doesn't match any of these not first it's the sword used by vets Fitz we're going to need an incident room hey James [Music] very photogenic sir oh thank you anything from the lab yeah there's traces of old lime water on the trigger of Fiona in scums gun and an eyelash that isn't Mildred's in the bottom of her flasks emergence of prints of the flask as well Mildred Danvers doctor O'Dowd Henry Marwood [Music] [Music] I hope I'm not interrupting no Satmar Woodhall ah the ruins of luck has not been with us for quite a while so what can I do for you Mildred Danvers hip flask your fingerprints on it I've been such a fool I really don't know why it's I suppose I haven't been thinking very clearly I lied about gloves there was the flask I was returning to her then why didn't you tell me that straight away it was cowardly well you just said that you suspected foul play and I oh I just didn't want any more fuss after Vivian I I know how it looks I'm assuming that you knew about the Reverend ants troubles in Oxford yes we all wear that Mildred Danvers knew about them too No so you weren't trying to save your half-brother from exposure then no no I have no idea why anyone would want to do away with mrs. Danvers or Anthony [Music] [Applause] [Music] it's mrs. Hastings by the way I lost my husband in Assumption rumors that we're all raging deixar Danes confirm our erroneous but they're less popular for that how can we help we've had confirmation about Mildred Danvers death it wasn't natural causes it wasn't suicide it was indeed murder and I believe that one or both of you had information that's relevant to our inquiries I'm not sure what you mean mrs. Hastings two people have died here in the last 24 hours can I recommend that you cooperate without prevarication it's my fault I asked Lorna not to say anything the day after Mildred arrived in the village she shared a confidence with Lauder and I we already know about the scandal that brought the river encounter to broaden what was Mildred's reason for telling you about that she was aware of her cousin's attitude towards women she thought the information might prove useful so when you said Mildred might have been murdered I saw Gant last night you see coming out of the pub what time was that about quarter to 10:00 I was locking up the committee rooms and you've withheld that information come on you murders not an accusation you make without firm evidence mr. Barnaby is that why you went to see the reverend Gant at the rectory this morning mrs. Hastings no no we had other things to discuss like blackmail yes Peggy and I agreed the legal thing was a serious threat so I went to talk to him and suggested that if he drop it the legal action that is you keep his little secret those were the broad strokes it work he was understandably upset but he agreed to reconsider which is why none of us would have any reason to shoot him mr. Barnaby is that was your next question Gant's gotta be our man hasn't he something to hide plenty of opportunity and he was spotted no George Bullard said that the cocktail with Mildred Danvers drank would have killed it within half an hour now Gant left the pub quarter to 10:00 Mildred Danvers didn't die till after midnight you see still plenty of time for someone else to visit her it's true what about Ganz killer well I suppose shutting down the skimming turn society am I to provide a motive what are you doing here my job Saints got my job I understand everyone can't and you didn't or see eye to eye is that true you could say that when the bell rang for the start of the ride you said something like um it's retribution time I didn't shoot him well someone with a very good eye and a rifle very like yours certainly did me and see were on the green all the time our guns were locked in fees car outside the committee rooms don't leave the village ladies they want to talk to you again [Music] [Applause] [Music] who poisoned Mildred I have no idea do you know who shot Antony no of course not then what's going on I don't know what to think don't you trust me Peggy even now [Music] don't sir good news only please mum in-laws not leaving with two more days I've released mrs danvers' body for burial you and I are going to attend the funeral any notable Epsom teas crocodile tears that sort of thing well the good news is forensics found another eyelash on Fiona in scums gunsights yeah they did a DNA check and it matches the one in the flask so odds on were talking one kill now all we have to do is put a name for the DNA and we're out of here yeah you know that means earlier he's getting a voluntary mouth shot from every single person in this village including the skimming Tain's yeah well that was the bad news part of the good news - only for you Jones I'll get a uniform - sorta yeah it's not a uniform job that does look at my shift got the kit in my car you can get started as soon as we establish the position of our sniper clock tower sir what's gonna be isn't George top now for a video footage taken by spectators who established a accurately whether eating was when the bullet struck we've calculated the angle at which the bullet into the skull and a presto oh that's amazing George thank you so helpful his marvellous isn't it hello there Helen Ellen I wonder if you could tell me what did you do after your anger bill to start the ride did you see anyone go into the church during the ride chatter chatter too busy they don't like that sir hey Josh you ready as I'll ever be thank you I'll good morning Cathy I'm sorry to disturb you I need to take a quick look in the bell tower if I may I suppose er thank you oh and DC Jones here has something to ask you what [Music] [Music] open wide miss Hulett [Music] [Music] [Music] forensic evidence places your gun firmly in the bell tower in school I told you I didn't shoot Gant from the bell tower or anywhere else and you did see did you not in your statement that you and only you had the keys to your vehicle and the gun rack and there's no evidence to suggest the car was broken into no but I lost my keys actually well thought I did well you didn't mention this before what did you mean cap or in the middle of the crowd everyone was just lling to see I put my hand in my pocket I seen the keys had fallen out and when did you rediscover them not until after Gant was dead and we were asked to given our rifles I wasn't even thinking about it we're about to the car but my hand in my pocket there they were I thought I'd made a mistake so can I get on now [Music] Smolin girls ladies I'm DC Jones and I work with DCI Barnaby he's asked me to ask you all for voluntary mouth swabs for DNA tests voluntary yeah answer's no then refusing to cooperate implies you've got something to hide all right you can do me first don't worry DC Jones I'll be gentle [Music] pop Roland I wanted to DC Jones is here he wants to test our DNA all right [Music] Thank You mr.
