not even Rich she used to be a teacher who called us in the old girl who lives opposite she thinks it's murder of course it was murder I saw Emily come home about 6:00 and I knew something was wrong how exactly did you know Miss Bel ringer well she slammed the door for a start now some people close doors and some people slam them Emily was very much a closer well is that it and she didn't padlock her tricycle now Emily was very particular about this she was afraid of Thieves we all are these days there no reflection on you Chief Inspector but to leave her tricycle like that she must have been very upset do you have any idea what might have upset her no I told you the last time I spoke to her she was about to go into the wood looking for this flower the spurred CLE rout and it's so an orchid not a flower it's been 7 years since we saw one and I found it that time so Emily had to give me tea at the Regency hotel that was it was our little competition well maybe she couldn't find it maybe that's what upset her I hardly think so would miss Simpson have picked the Orchid if she'd found it oh no she'd have marked the position and photographed it we have pointers red ribbons for her

someone broke a neck you know cie's coming tomorrow she's going to want to see a bit of you yeah just I know how you are when you get started on a Case yes I have to go out this evening I'm afraid oh Tom Emily Simpson made two telephone calls before she died that's what Troy was telling me just now one was the director inquiries she wanted a number in Brighton but she never got around to saying what it was what about the other one well that's the OD thing she made a phone call to the local helpline I understand that I completely understand I know she could still come back to you Brian I mean I think that's what you're saying there's still hope I'm still here Ste you take your time take be Terry I'm right here I've got to talk to someone I don't know what to do that was how she started something like that what and then she said she'd seen something she said she had to tell someone about it she said it was unbelievable did she say what it was no didn't you press her we're not meant to anyway then she said she was going to call someone else that she knew who to call and then she thanked me and rang off and there was nothing more I'm sorry inspector I know there was something else but I can't think well if it does come to you and give us a ring yes of course well thank you Miss basley Terry we only use Christian names here Tom concerned yes please two bacon scrumbled egg and the toast thank you morning sir don't you get a cooked breakfast at home sir no Troy I do not I got that medical report from Dr Bullard sir struck with a heavy object as yet unidentified at the base of the neck looks like Emily Simpson was murdered after all I'm amazed to try oh and I got those photographs that you want to developed the ones from a camera looks like she found that flower it it must be somewhere around here can I see the photograph again this must be the first police search organized for a flower it's an orchid sir oh there there's Emily's marker that's the Orchid spur call

want this whole area gone [Music] over do you really think that should have came down to you SE unless you saw two people people at it looks like it Troy why would they want to kill her unless it was adultery I suppose it could have been our Bandits what wa the would you mean homosexuals Troy that's what I said you are as politically correct as a nurburg r whose house do you think this could be

I could find Sam B TR shot in a hunting accident two columns in the local Rag and a Corners report accidental death try Bella I wonder what that short for this his tie house here [Music] sir how the other half live rather less than half I'd say [Music] Troy take back you are you what do you want I'm detective inspector Barnaby and this is detective seizen Troy who are you uh I'm sorry I'm David Whitley Henry's estate manager Mr Trace I suppose you hear about that school teacher Emily Simpson you knew her uh no never met her I don't suppose you were in The Village at any time between 6:00 and 8 on Wednesday uh no no don't remember where I was out in the fields it was Mr Trace at home uh yes but it's not a particularly good time he's getting married next week well we won't take up too much of his time sir he's in the drawing room Bella I don't understand I thought you were here about the teacher Miss Simpson we are sir but just before she died Miss Simpson may have referred to your late wife in a phone call she made she mentioned Bella she referred to her as poor Annabella you've got the wrong Bella nobody ever called her that had you been taught by Miss Simpsons sir yes as a matter of fact she had but she was just Bella if it's not too uh painful sir I'd be interested to know how your wife died it is painful and I don't see how it's relevant Miss Simpson could have known your wife as Annabella is a nickname pet name something like that if there is a connection there is no connection we need to be sure well if you insist it was 2 years ago the start of the Season there weren't many of us out there myself Bella David Whitley my managering and Bella's sister daughter come along Phyllis Phyllis cadell she didn't shoot that often always wondered why she chose that day of all days anyway Dr Lister was there uh known him for years had a couple of friends down from London then there was Michael Lacy young friend of mine he comes a beater you know to scare the birds I suppose it's always easy to talk about these things with hindsight but I've often felt we were really fated that day Bella tripped on a route and twisted her ankle rather badly I suggested she go home but she said it was too far we were on the other side of the village sure you're right maybe if I'd been more forceful she'd be with us now than it happened oh 10 minutes later Michael was standing right next to her he ran all the way back to Tai house but by the time the ambulance arrived it was all over any one of us could have fired that shot Phyllis leer myself it was an accident a horrible bloody accident and you've no right to drag poor Bella's ghost back from the past Henry oh it's all right Catherine this is Chief Inspector um Barnaby of course you're here to ask about poor Miss Simpson I understand Miss Lacy that you don't live here not at the moment no I will do so of course after next Saturday we are to be married then inspector I live at Holly Cottage it's on the edge of the woods I share it with my brother Michael and where were you on Wednesday evening on Wednesday the night Miss Simpson was killed well I was here well don't ask me I was sleeping all evening you

dog Benji he's not very good with strangers are you treating everyone a suspect in this business it's important for me to know where everyone was on Wednesday evening was there anyone else in the house well only Phyllis my sister-in-law sorry to interrupt uh Henry they're having trouble with the generator they want to move closer to the Marquee Mar ruin the speech is no way I'll talk to them

Plymouth in the English Channel edist edist certainly sorry to disturb you it's the police police R are you all right yes yes of course they want to ask you about Emily Simpson oh simp yes didn't

there was no test match rain stopped play and his wife's just as bad she was shopping in Corston all day on Wednesday it's early closing Katherine Lacy tells us she never left the house on Wednesday afternoon EX accept that she was seen so suddenly it's another story she went to post a letter then there's the question of Bella trace and the shooting accident you don't think it was an accident Henry trac's story what he told us there's something wrong something doesn't add up you think he was lying I don't know maybe he was maybe he was simply mistaken in his account but he wasn't telling us the truth Michael Lac why did he run all that way back to Tai House to call the ambulance when the accident happened on the other side of the village why didn't he call the ambulance from there and why that day of all days did Phyllis cadel decide to [Music] shoot which one of them try which one it seems they're all bloody Liars one of them is something more for as much as it's pleased almighty God of his great Mercy to take unto himself the soul of our dear sister here departed we therefore commit her body to the ground Earth to Earth ashes to ashes dust to dust amen [Music] [Music] you still haven't caught him oh it's early days yet miss Bel not for poor Emily comeer Chief Inspector I feel the need of a drink I'm afraid funerals do that for me as of course I remember the day Bella died was terrible no thank you Henry Trace was already in a wheelchair yes polio Bella never coped with it very well you know when you died I always thought he'd marry phis of the sister-in-law she adored him still does for all I know what can you tell me about Katherine Lacy well she's Henry's Ward she and Michael her brother and when their parents died in in a car crash Henry sort of adopted them and set them up in a gamekeeper cottage on the estate Holly Cottage yes well they were very young then barely into their teens oh and there was a nanny Mary Sharp that was her name Nanny sharp she was meant to look after them but she had a terrible time in what way way well I understand the children were always fighting endless RS in the end Mary upt and left and now she's retired down on the coast Emily could have told you more she knew Mary quite well more Sher no I'm fine thank you very much if you ask me Catherine's the one to look out for meaning well that girl is far too beautiful for other people's good and if she was found bonking in the would she has the most to lose she's got a point you did say cathine was seen in the village yes she was seen walking a dog oh well there was no dog here that night Wellington goes crazy if a dog comes anywhere near she could have tied it up somewhere and come here alone not that dog she sometimes ties it up outside the post office it barks its head off you'd have heard it a mile away go damn it do you know for a minute I thought I had the whole thing solved I think it all went terribly well Dennis beautiful service you

last week at the parish council meeting she gave me a recipe I said next time I went mushroom picking I'd save her a few so you took them around to her house I got that I think it must have been about half p 4 I rang at the doorbell but there was no answer I thought it was strange because she was always in it was only later I realized while I was outside they must have been oh God now do you understand Henry everything's over it's all slipping away I don't suppose you saw anyone in the wood no you see anyone near the house I think there was someone coming but I didn't see them Mrs Quin look everything's perfectly clear now can't you leave us alone I'm afraid not sir we found certain notebooks at Mrs rain bird's house I'm here to make an arrest fellis cadel I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of bellat trce on the 26th of June 1995 Troy you don't have to say anything but it may harm your defense if you did not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court anything you do say may be given in evidence phis no it's all right Henry yes I did it I'll get my [Applause] code it was Bella who brought me to thae house you know to help with Henry he was in that wheelchair and she just couldn't cope I did everything for him and he was so grateful and then I began to realize that if Bella wasn't there if it was just the two of us him and me so you decided to kill her yes I'd learned how to handle a gun when I was quite young it's something one does in the country and then that day I said I was going to join them on the shoot I didn't really have a plan it was all very confused people shooting all over the place I took a hip flos filled with vulka and I kept on drinking is the only way that I could get the [Music] courage all the dead birds the noise the blood made me feel sick and dizzy I didn't think I was going to be able to do it and Bella was always so close to me or else there was someone between her and me and then she walked away she was talking to one of the beaters and I knew I had my chance it all happened so quickly I no one saw me I DED back behind the trees and managed to hide then I waited until I had a clear shot and then I shot her it was terrible I saw her pitch forward and fall to the ground and then I just panicked I got up and I ran and i [Music] [Music] r so you went back to Tai house I went to my room and locked myself in I was shaking and then a short while later I heard Michael Lacy come to the house and I went downstairs Bella's been shot we have to call an ambulance I thought then that I'd done it that I'd got away with it how could I know I'd have been seen Mrs Rainbird she put it all in those notebooks did she oh yes pc £5,000 pc £5,000 PC to ,000 when did it start a week

Denny with the tea now what will you [Music] have the diamonds are Marite the Spades a jam the hearts a tuna and the clubs a sandwich spread I don't know how they'd got the gun they must have stolen

Bella's jewelry it's all gone it even stopped asking me they knew they' cleared me out sir there's someone here for you in reception try did you kill her Mrs Rainbird and her son of course she didn't

have another name him to have another name we are gathered here in the sight of God and in the face of this congregation to join together Henry David trace and Katherine Jane Lacy in holy matrimony Henry David trace and Catherine Jan Lac Tom Tom [Music] Tom Tom the phone this is all we need Troy all we need a custody death who found her duty officer he's with her now sir checks on every hour so it's not often enough God's sake get out of here what a mess maybe you should have put her on suicide watch is that a reprimand Troy cuz you're right this is my fault maybe she's better off this way all things considered that is not the point Lacy's been shouting his mouth officer he wants to speak to you ah how nice of you to look in Chief Inspector you know prison is a lot more comfortable than I ever thought you say what you've got to say Mr Lacy and get on with it I want to go home oh aren't you Mr comedy if you want the truth Mr Lacy I've had you up to here and if you want to know the truth why don't you talk to Judith ler what well you're in such a hurry to drag me off yesterday you never asked me where I was you said you were painting yes but I wasn't alone I was doing a portrait of Judith ler the doctor's girl she was with me from mid morning till about 7:00 at night why didn't you tell me this at the time well you and the cap Crusader here never gave me a chance so can I go now no Mr you can't go now you can go when I say you can it better be true yes I was with him he was doing my portrait you never told me about this Judith why should I tell you he only did the first sketches but they took all day he said I had a wonderfully complicated face he's a surreal IST is he think very carefully Miss liter Mr Lacy was apparently seen in the village just after fall he wasn't in the village he was at Holly Cottage with me and since everyone's always picking on him you might as well know he was there the night Emily Simpson died too how do you know that cuz I went to see him I spoke to him through the door he wouldn't let me in cuz he was painting but I heard his voice you've been seeing quite a bit of him is there something that I ought to know what something like you and your Miss Whiplash or Barbara and all her boyfriend no dad no there's nothing you need to know at all the thing about Judith is that he never quite got used to my remarriage it hasn't been easy that test match you told us of about Dr Le last Wednesday there was no test match yes well she's not exactly a Miss Whiplash but there is a lady that I uh you see Barbara's a bit short rations in that department that's where I was I've got her address if you want thank you I don't know how Judith came to know anything about it it's or rather yes it is shocking thank you Dr L God on family did you think the girl was telling us the truth sir yes in fact I think she might have told us more than she meant to I suppose that means we'll have to let him go Michael Lacy not yet Troy not yet we find the knife at the cottage we arrest him but he knows he didn't do the murder and that the knife was planted so why did he run [Applause] away did you see his face when you found that knife yes he was shocked shock yeah don't panic he made a run for it but when we put him in the car you've got it all wrong Chief Inspector all wrong he was relieved relieved why why did he run away unless there was something else something here he didn't want us to find nothing exactly try but yesterday there was something painting this is very good it's only marks and Sparks I'm afraid you should have told me you were coming about is fine you know who did it don't you I can always tell yes I know who did it oh you should be very pleased with yourself Tom I had to release Michael Lacy this afternoon the ler girl backed up his Alibi there's still one thing I don't understand it had to be a trick but I don't know how well that's Troy I have to be off where are you going I'm going to the seaside to [Music] Brighton burnam Crescent up ah head on this road on the Left Right some people why can't you look in your mirror but that's it what that's what was missing the mirror you've done Sun TR that's it the mirror that's how they [Music] knew this is sharp come here I've been expecting [Music] you I was employed by Henry Trace to look out after the two children their father worked on the estate but he was killed in a motor accident his wife with him the laces Michael and Catherine's parents I moved into Holly Cottage I was with them I suppose for about 9 years please Mrs sharp they were never easy children but a of course under the circumstances one had to make allowances Michael was 18 and Katherine was 17 when it started the rouss they were always finding fault with each other every day it was a slanging match she'd scream at him and he'd fling himself out of the house I don't know how much longer I could have stood it I tell you but all the time I had a feeling there was something wrong something false about the arguments as if they were put on for me and then one night I couldn't [Music] sleep [Music] [Music] oh [Music] I never told anyone I've been with them for nine years I just couldn't I told Mr Trace that I wanted to retire and I moved down here did you ever speak to Emily Simpson after you left she was my best friend when I was at Badger drift and we did right afterwards but I I never told her anything then when I heard about her death I I did one but I wasn't to know and anyway how could I betray them I love their music whatever they done I did love them Michael and Catherine lazy Emily Simpson must have found them in the wood that's what shocked her Troy first she found the helpline people and then a number in Brighton yes Lucy Binger told me that Mary Sharp had moved to the South Coast so I put two and two together I'll drive but which one of them was it I mean Michael Lacy was at home and Katherine Lacy had that dog it was Katherine Lacy all she had to do was to hand the dog over to her brother remember what Judith L said to us she talked to Michael Lacy through the door why didn't he open the door because then she'd have seen the dog and that would have spoiled the whole setup Catherine lazy [Applause] Catherine Lacy yes she set it up to look like an [Music] accident and if it hadn't have been for an observant neighbor and an unlocked tricycle we'd never have been any the wiser what about the rainbirds that was them too and they were clever weren they always working off one another whoever went to the house was wearing overalls in a cap and they probably made sure they were seen at least from behind oh it's [Music] you Catherine stabbed him and then she put the knife and the blood soed overalls into the basket the basket we saw at Tai House very big basket Troy for a very few mushrooms what Mrs Quin saw was Catherine leaving not arriving but of course that was what she was meant to see so it was Katherine Lacy who put the knife in her brother's Studio yes because he'd set himself up with a perfect Alibi Judith Les's portrait you see they made it look as if he was guilty when and he's the one person who couldn't have done it yeah they were getting away with murder those two but then they'd had a lot of [Music] practice [Music] Bell Trace was just a freak chance wrong place wrong time but Phyllis cadel confessed phis cadell thought she had killed bellat trce but she was inexperienced nervous she'd been drinking Phyllis told us that Bella was talking to Michael Lacy what she didn't realize was that he was already separating her from the group setting her up to be shot not by Phyllis but by [Music] Catherine everything was confused Phyllis fired and missed probably by miles of the truth we only know but you saw Bella fall yes but you remember what Henry Trace said Bella had tripped over a route that was all Phyllis saw it was just the worst possible timer when Phyllis cadell turned and ran home Bella was still [Music] alive and a few minutes later Michael Lacy took her aside again to give the real Marksman a clear [Music] aim you know I always said there was something wrong it was simply this if Michael Lacy was a beater what was he doing walking with bellat trce he should have been up ahead scaring the birds and that's why he ran all the way back to Tai House right he wanted to delay the ambulance as long as possible of course Katherine Lacy doubled back to the house as well the two even played out a scene for Phyllis Cardell Bella's been shot we have to call an [Music] ambulance [Music] oh damn why do they want to kill Bella Trace to clear the way for Catherine to marry Henry for the money and another thing I wouldn't be surprised if they started on him already slow poison or something shooting bloodening stabing poisoning is there anything those two wouldn't [Music] do Have You Seen Her have you seen Catherine what are you talking about she's gone what do you mean she's gone what's happened I don't know first Catherine was upstairs and then suddenly Michael was there and now they're both gone Mary Sharp what a stupid woman she told him told them what what's going on Holly Cottage yes no no I think we're too late [Music] [Music] for [Music] [Music] I'm not sure you'll want to see this Miss bell [Music] ringer where did you find it Catherine Lacy had hidden it upstairs when we arrested the brother he managed to shout to her I've been framed and he made this sign it was a coded message he was warning her to remove the picture it' have given the game away wouldn't it it's very very powerful it's brilliant even in its own way he had Talent it's so Twisted I almost guessed it when we came here the three bedrooms and only one bed slept in they pulled the wool right over my eyes when at time we came here and they were arguing they really did seem to hate each other didn't they and they couldn't have staged it for our benefit because they didn't know we were here except that they did they saw us in the mirror and they did put on a show poor Emily and poor Annabella who was she don't suppose we'll ever know [Music] I hope you're not going to fall asleep in this I wouldn't dream of it anyway after what you've just been through a study of incest should be right up your street Comes This in sadness from you let some Mischief Beall me soon if I dissemble all you are my brother Giovani you my sister Annabella I know [Music] this Annabella [Music] h
