All language subtitles for Taggart s04e03 Double Jeopardy [Christmas Special]

Oh.

I want to reserve a seat in the plane
leaving tomorrow morning for Hamburg.

I'm a bit tired. I think I've got to my
bed.

No?

No.

There's a lot of muckers up in Purley
Wood.

Frank and I went for a walk there
yesterday. Should give them a try.

And there'll be a lot more in Bavaria.

Thank you.

with occasional showers.

Now, let's go over to Biggles, our
iron...

No

signs of balance on the body as far as
we can determine, but we'll need a lab

report on the stomach contents and what
we're arranging for.

Transfer to lab.

He's Rowena Bain, Three Church Street.

What's that?

Mozart?

Sounds like... Palastrini.

Misa Papai Marcelli. Our church choral
society sang it once. Sounds like a

dish.

Why is it still playing?

The latest model.

Peaceful way to commit suicide.

Thought that was against your religion.

Is that Monday?

Eh? The composer?

Not the day of the week.

Palestrina. This is a death, not a
concert.

Get that dusted for prints. Get it
switched off.

The

different

here is that you people make money, we
earn money.

Is that coming from a solicitor? I said
to him, we don't charge for a minute.

You just left my house, Ernest.

Well, I've got a couple that might be
interested.

Professional types.

I'll be in touch.

Well, I must be away. Showing another
client.

15 Swanson Street.

Don't try to sell that place.

If I get paid what a solicitor gets
paid, the number of folk I've shown

15 bloody Swanson Street.

I'll see you before you disappear off to
Germany.

All the best. Bye, Frank.

You'll have to come out to Munich for a
holiday.

Bring Agnes.

I don't want to be a hands -full.

Cut me for a ruin.

What do you make of that?

Toadstools.

I know what they are.

Why did you pick them?

It's produce.

To do what with? Sell to the angels.

She probably died only minutes before
she was found.

While in coma.

Bottles marked Trithodon.

A barbiturate.

Antidepressants. Good to have you.

Could it be anything more sinister?

That I can't tell you until we know our
stomach contents.

I know one thing.

Poisonous fungi don't usually kill
people so peacefully.

They may not necessarily be poisonous.

Do you want to try them?

It doesn't make sense.

Why pick a basket of mushrooms before
topping yourself?

Who knows what goes through a suicide's
mind?

A neighbour of ours once spent three
days spring cleaning.

then impaled herself with a knife in the
bedroom.

And there was plenty of blood, not a
speck of dust anyway.

Stop!

The verse!

This might be just a coincidence, but,
eh...

Which one of you is Maurice Bain?

I am.

Please.

Do you know anyone called Rowena?

Yes, my wife's called Rowena. Is that
hers?

Yes, what's happened?

Do you know why she went to Pardewood,
in the back of here?

Yeah, she went to pick mushrooms. I told
her they were there.

You done it for trespassing?

Your wife's been found dead, Mr Bain.

Anything else?

Another copy, please.

I'm supposed to be meeting my sister
here. She hasn't turned up. Do you have

telephone? Yes, there's a public one
just down there.

One more day at this place and I'm free.
I envy you. I'm all working for other

people. What about Morris?

When we get to Germany, he'll be working
for me.

Rowena was interested in fungi like some
people are interested in flowers.

Are you moving somewhere?

Germany. I'm taking over a country in
Munich.

I was brought up in Bremen in northern
Germany. My father was in the forces.

Neither of you have a cigarette, I
suppose.

No. Sorry.

I've got this heart condition. I've
given up. I could... Oh, I could do with

just now.

Yes, we're going to run it together, the
three of us.

My stepdaughter, Carol.

Rowena and I.

Was your wife looking forward to the
move?

Yes.

What's so special about the poems of
Mary Webb?

Rowena's favourite poet, Rowena, was
born in Shrewsbury.

Did you have any favourite music?

She liked lots.

Why? What about... Did you like...
Palestrina?

Musa Papai Marcelli?

Yeah, if it's that choral music. She
played that all the time.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Look.

I'm sorry, but my wife died this
morning.

I've got the police with me at the
moment, so if you don't mind.

Thank you.

Robina Karopoulos, she made an
appointment for two o 'clock today.

Can we borrow the diary?

Yes, of course.

I should tell you that my wife did have
a history of depression. You can check

that with our doctor, Dr Somerville, on
St Andrew's Road.

I would like to break the news to her
privately, if you don't mind. Yeah.

What do you make of that?

Chiropractic, 2pm today.

You don't write today unless you make
the appointment today.

Hello? Morris, it's Pam.

I've been hanging around almost an hour
waiting for Rowena. What's happened to

her?

Hmm?

Oh!

I don't believe it. I've come straight
round.

Morris and I go back a long way.

He used to work for his uncle before he
took over the firm.

Paid everybody off except me.

Contracting's cheaper.

This job's just a favour he's doing for
a minister friend of his.

Did you know Regina well?

Quite well.

She was a bit of an oddball.

You and Morris were here all morning?

Oh, except for an hour or so. Morris
asked me to go into town and pick up his

air tickets for him.

For Germany.

Could be Hamdell. Worst time for him.

Must feel hellish.

She rang me this morning.

She was excited.

Looking forward to going to Munich. I
was going to help her choose clothes

afternoon. Mum could get depressed
quickly.

Not that quickly.

I know my sister.

Over a period of days, maybe.

She was really happy?

She wasn't about to go out and commit
suicide.

That's what the police say.

Maybe. Deep down, she didn't want to go
to Munich.

She'd have told me, you stupid girl.

Pam, don't get started.

You'll both still be going, I suppose.

Yeah, it's too late not to.

Auntie Pam, don't talk as if we're
responsible.

Did I?

I wasn't aware.

That's been our past, kid.

You go and see that chiropodist.

That neighbour I was telling you about,
sir. She went out and had her hair done

before she killed herself.

Well, here's a different thing.

By the way, you come back and get me.

What kind of trees were in the woods?

The usual kind.

Deciduous or coniferous?

Um... I'm not sure.

But? Hazel?

Well, I'm not big on trees. I'm more
interested in these things.

In order to identify species, it helps
to know where the body fruited.

Whether the soil was rocky or acid.

What species of tree it grew near or
under.

Whether it grew on soil.

Or manure.

I mean, to me, a mushroom's something
you fry with bacon.

This one's death cap.

Death?

The most deadly species of fungi known.

To be absolutely sure about a lot of
these, I'd have to put the spores under

microscope.

Why is that basket divided?

Those are edible.

Those aren't.

I mean, you can eat that.

That's sulphur polypore.

Chicken of the woods.

Try the piece. No, I won't, thanks.

Why are some of them wrapped up in
little packages?

To keep them fresh for analysis.

This lady was a serious mycologist.

Thanks, Professor.

You've told me all I want to know.

You don't make an appointment here for
all this.

Go picking mushrooms for analysis and
then do yourself in. Her neighbour did a

score of illogical things.

If you mention that bam -pot neighbour
of yours once more, you'll be joining

her. This is

Mrs Fleming, Rowena Bain's sister.

Do you see our target? Yes. How do you
do?

Hi. Hello.

Perhaps you'd care to repeat what you've
just told me.

My sister didn't commit suicide.

Oh? She phoned me at nine o 'clock this
morning.

She was excited at the prospect of going
to Germany.

She didn't kill herself.

I see.

They're lovers.

Morris and Carol.

How do you know?

I know.

Just knowing's not good enough for us.

Morris was only Rowena's common -law
husband.

Carol's no blood relation. She wasn't
even his stepdaughter.

Has he actually seen them...? They
didn't perform in front of me, if that's

you mean.

What happened to Mrs Bean's first
husband?

There wasn't one.

Carol was illegitimate.

Rowena brought her up single -handed.
That is, until she met Morris eight

ago. Did Rowena know they were lovers?

Rowena wouldn't have suspected anything.

Not unless it was put right in front of
her.

I don't think she'd had much experience
of men, not since she got Carol.

Once again, how do you know?

From little things.

And now they're free to go off to their
love nest in Germany.

You can stop them, can't you?

You've got to eat.

Jean, why do you always drag up holidays
when I'm in a case?

Well, when are you anything else?

Look, I'll take the leave Owen to make
when I've got a breathing space.

When will that be?

It's October already.

We just moved house. That's a kind of a
break.

For you it was. It was hardly a rest for
me.

Jean, this is an important day for us.

It's when we find out how Rowena Bain
died.

Maybe she died through being stuck at
home all summer.

Come on.

It's impossible.

You have the lab report on her stomach
contents if you don't believe me.

It's as classic a case of suicide as
I've come across.

Could the barbiturates have been
dissolved in her tea without her

That quantity?

She'd have noticed the taste.

No suicide note. Only 30 % of suicides
leave notes.

When I want statistics, I'll ask for
them.

Could she have been forced to drink the
tea against her will? There is no way

you can murder someone by forcing them
to drink without leaving physical signs.

Such as?

Bruising, scratches, evidence that she'd
been held against her will.

There'd also be spillage on her clothes.

There was none.

Not even Spilsbury, pardon the pun,
could have made murder out of this one.

He got her to that wood on purpose.

I know it.

And he got rid of Frank Sweeney for an
hour.

He would have been seen.

She wasn't.

Until it was too late.

He could have passed himself off as one
of the shooting party.

He'd have to have known where to find
her.

He'd have to have been armed with a book
and a 3D player to set the scene off

with suicide.

On top of getting her to drink the tea.

It's impossible.

You're saying it couldn't be done?

She died too calmly.

Michael, when I was a kid, I was taken
to a circus over there.

There was a man in red livery on a big
horse, surrounded by other fellas in

white robes.

Suddenly, he jumped down, disappeared.

I couldn't see how it was done, but my
old man did, and he was only a tram

driver.

Well, how was it then?

There was a trick in it.

That's... How long do you work for me?

I'm the left of the gold watch.

Well, what do I need 20 grand for?

Buy that new car.

Beg Agnes for a holiday.

There's anything I can do for you,
Marge.

Yeah, well, I can't buy my health back
with it.

Or Rowena.

You drink too much beer for a man with a
dicky heart.

I'm saying that for the last time.

Well, if it is the last time, it's worth
doing the job.

Hi, guys.

I've got three guesses.

Seconds, I'm still bothered. It's
wasting drinking time.

What are you having? I've just sold 15
Thronson Street.

What's the matter?

Somebody died.

Yes, yes.

Oh.

Like it worked so soon?

Helps to keep busy.

It's my last day.

German.

Is that a hard language to learn?

Not really.

Oh, well, you'll have more to practice
with.

I suppose he's fluent.

When are you going to Munich?

Shortly after the funeral.

See, it's just that, um... We're unhappy
about some things about your mother's

death.

For instance, why make an appointment
with a chiropodist the day she killed

herself?

Why go and pick mushrooms?

Why make an arrangement to see her
sister?

Mum was like one of those Russian
babushka dolls.

You know?

There's always another inside.

You can never fathom her. She did
strange things.

Did you know your mother had
barbiturates?

Did I know?

She'd been on them for years.

She had cupboards full. We kept telling
her to throw them out.

Did you see her make a flask of tea
yesterday morning?

I was in bed when she left.

Why these questions?

What time did you get in here for work?

Ten o 'clock.

I said... Were you and Morris lovers?

No. It's my stepfather.

Not technically.

He lived with Mum as her husband.

Did you feel any resentment about him
being a stepfather? I mean, these things

happen. I was 17 when he came to live
with us.

Old enough.

Excuse me.

I have customers to serve.

You were a bit blunt with her.

I haven't started yet.

Thank you.

I have an appointment with the lady.
I'll see you later.

Hello?

Nice place, eh?

Got the fishing right?

I own all this.

My second husband left it to me.

Your second?

Your sister never even got married once?

You're always very different.

Rowena went to boarding school and I
didn't.

She was always the academic one.

What brought you to Scotland?

My parents.

Dad was a doctor.

Rowena's house... That was the family
home.

He left it to her.

She was always his favorite.

Ah, well, you've done all right.

I think everyone should marry three
times.

First time for fun.

Second time for the meaningful
relationship. And third time for money.

I skip the meaningful relationship.

He said you had some extra information
for me.

Do you know how Reena died yet?

An overdose.

Harbiturates. Her forensic department
say it was suicide.

Do you believe them?

I'm sticking my neck out.

Not easy.

Well, I'll make it easier.

It's about Maurice's first wife.

I think he may have murdered her as
well.

Always throw the small ones back.

Her name was Leslie, maiden name
Ringwald.

She was a dancer.

Local beauty queen from Blackpool, all
they could on their brain.

She was an end -of -year show would be
better.

She married her, brought her home to
Glasgow.

She disappeared.

He said she ran off with a teacher from
Australia called Miller. What makes you

so sure he murdered her?

He bought her a dress shop, set her up.

She wasn't a businesswoman and the shop
failed.

After that, she began having affairs
with other men, taunting him. He wanted

of her.

Still no evidence.

How much do you people need?

Why do you think he never married my
sister?

Because he never got divorced.

He made no attempt to find her, and she
made no attempt to find him.

Did you find that odd?

Did Rowena tell you all this?

We used to joke about it. Then the
joking stopped.

Rowena became convinced.

When did she disappear?

Autumn of 1980, October, November.

He'd moved in with Rowena by Christmas.

If you're right, what has he done with
the body?

He's a builder.

There's a house called La Manta, Islet
Hall Avenue. Morris owned it.

He was extending it up Woodside with
every which way he could for Leslie.

When she disappeared, he sold it.

Would you care for some money?

No, no way.

I've got to get back.

Do you believe they'll never relax and
enjoy themselves?

I find the two don't make them. Well,

I don't see what more I can tell you.

This isn't about Rowena.

It's about your first wife, Leslie.

I believe she'd been missing for eight
years.

She ran off with an Australian.

Where to?

Australia, I imagine.

Did you make no attempt to contact her
to get a divorce?

Well, our marriage was at an end.

I might have done in time.

And she never contacted you again, then?

Isn't that a bit strange?

Not if you knew Leslie.

You have business records for October,
November 1980.

Building work.

No, they've been destroyed.

What about Lamarche?

I'm sorry.

I have a heart condition, I told you.
Angina.

I have to avoid stress.

Help yourself.

What is your relationship with Carol?

There isn't one.

Not of that kind.

I know the things you asked her.

She's Ruina's daughter.

I wouldn't be carrying on with her. Not
on the same roof.

That happens.

I know who's been taking...

Yeah, Doctor, quick!

He's been in there ten minutes.

He's all right, just a bit tired.

Angina gets sufferers like that.

I'd go easy on him for a bit.

How long is a vet?

I'd put off interviewing him tonight.

Then just go very easy.

That's great.

Otherwise, you might not have a suspect.

Great God, our Father, you were able to
turn the shadow of even this death into

the brightness of a brand new morning.

You were able to break through the
silence and the doubt.

Speak to us in our shock and our
loneliness.

Gracious. spirit of peace.

Come alive within our hearts and our
experience.

Make your presence more real than our
sorrow.

Cast out our fear.

Let not our hearts be troubled.

Let not our hearts be troubled.

For we ask it through Jesus Christ, our
Lord.

Amen.

It's good of you not to mind.

Just as long as you put it all back.

This is to show the kids, when they grow
up.

Just in case you do find a body.

He's like a schoolboy.

Heavenly Father, help us to be content
to release our sister, Rowena,

into your care and keeping.

May the blessing of the Almighty God,
Father, Son, the Holy Spirit,

be with us all, now and evermore.

Amen.

ashes to ashes, dust to dust, in the
sure and certain hope

that we will all meet in the life
hereafter.

But what we... This has been a horror.

Well, I just thought I'd let you know
we're doing our best to get in touch

your wife in Australia.

Good luck.

We don't intend to give up.

Why don't you just leave him alone?

Do you want to kill him?

You've nearly done that once already.

Are you selling the house, Monty?

No, we're letting it, in case you want
to come back.

We're keeping the furniture.

I can remember when Rowena bought this
table at auction.

She was very fond of it.

Yeah, it's a monstrous old thing, isn't
it?

More sherry, probably.

Why don't you go the whole hog and
celebrate?

There's no need for that.

Rowena didn't commit suicide.

Auntie Pam, not here.

Where, then? The police station?

I've already been there.

I'm sorry about this. Sorry?

Rowena's been murdered.

And now you and Carol are free to go off
and enjoy your lives together.

Don't you dare.

Don't you dare say that without any
evidence.

I'll get evidence, my girl.

Even if the police can't.

Nothing. What now?

Well, sir, we've asked Frank Sweeney if
there's any other building work that

Morris carried on which he can remember.

He either can't or won't.

Well, they're off to Germany tonight and
we can't stop them. We'll have to come

back for the inquiry.

They can swear affidavits in Munich have
been given to the sheriff. They need

never come back. I know their lovers.

Either him or both of them murdered
Rowena.

How are you going to prove that?

Short of hiding under their bed?

There's one way to prove it.

When they don't know they're being
watched.

You mean follow them?

Sir, um... I remember a couple of years
ago you went to Munich for a police

conference and ended up playing golf
with all the big Iedians. Nine holes,

Sir, Michael and I are due leave.

Why didn't you send us over?

Don't give up, do you?

Even if we prove you're right, what Pam
Fleming said is true.

All that supplies us with is a motive.

One thing at a time, eh?

Come on, boys.

Where's Paul?

Where's Ali?

Munich? You're always saying I never
spring surprises on you.

I haven't even any new clothes or... Oh,
Jean.

Pack a suitcase, your passport, we'll
get insurance at the airport.

You haven't become a born -again
Christian.

Like Mike Jardine.

Just taking you on holiday.

OK?

Looks so bare.

You believe in ghosts?

I don't believe they can travel.

Sorry, I'm terrible with names.

Ulrich Giesler?

Detective Sergeant Ulrich Geitler.

Your English is much better than my
German.

We're Europeans here.

In Scotland, that hasn't really caught
on yet.

Listen, thanks for putting me up.

It's all right.

I was right.

Oh, right.

How was your flight?

Fine, thanks.

D .C .I. Taggart's coming on later,
bringing his wife on a holiday.

Doesn't know the meaning of the word.

Mr. Bain stepped on the raft on an
earlier flight from Glasgow.

That's why I came via London.

How far is there, Gaston?

It's on the way to Wolfrath House, about
30 kilometers south of Munich.

Do you want to go straight there or come
straight to it? I could manage

something light.

I was in Glasgow once, for two days. Did
you like it?

It's a reputation.

I only remember Sucky Old Street.

Is it too dangerous?

Aye, only during the January sales.

So, you are after a white pillar.

We need to know if they're lovers.

The British obsession.

Who's sleeping with who?

Es ist ja so tragisch, das mit Frau
Bein.

Danke für die Anteilnahme.

Wie lange haben Sie in Deutschland
gewohnt?

Ah, 16 Jahre.

My father was in the forces. He was
based in Bremen, an army chef.

I came down here several times during
that period.

We shall help you to forget your lot.
Thank you.

Sind Sie die Kirche hier?

Ja, ich bin seit zehn Jahren hier.

I speak English.

You expect to see them make love?

There's a range of behavior short of
that.

The man in the suit is the
representative of the brewery.

The other two are employed.

Rowena would have liked it here.

Jim, I can't actually believe we're
going on holiday to Munich.

Jim, I've always wanted to see Munich.

I've made a list of all the places that
we can visit. There's the Nymphenburg,

if you like that.

Oh, and I might get to a concert in the
new concert hall.

That's good, Jim.

Give people time to see it.

Fine. We can go now.

A distance that is managed to keep.

Guten Morgen.

Kann ich Ihnen helfen?

Can you speak English?

Yes, very well.

Wir haben reservieren lassen.

Name ist Taggart.

Ah, yes.

Mr. and Mrs. Taggart.

Would you like to fill in these forms,
please?

Do I have that now?

Mr. Taggart, there is a message for you.

Message?

Problem with the office.

Not important.

We're just going to Munich.

Yeah, yeah.

OK.

Thank you.

Get the pot! Get the...

They haven't touched one in two days.

You have to admit it, your boss might be
wrong.

I don't think that translates into his
language.

I'm going to go over there and sit down
for a bit, alright?

That woman with the camera.

Get her out of here.

She's Carol's aunt. Will you get her out
of here?

What are you doing here?

Getting the evidence. You're incapable
of finding.

You might have blown it.

It wasn't me who let them leave the
country.

We had no option.

Mr Taggart, are you here?

Have them under surveillance. We don't
need any help. From amateur, do you

Please, go home.

Can British police tell their citizens
what to do on foreign soil?

Perhaps you lot are more comfortable.

Are you expecting to see someone?

No.

Why?

You just... Keep looking round.

What do you want to do next?

We've just got here.

No, I mean here.

There's a coach museum, a porcelain
workshop. Oh, I'd like to see the

There's a concert in the Hercules Val in
the residence on Monday night.

The Bavarian State Orchestra.

I'd like to go to that.

Where did you find out about that?

On a leaflet.

In the hotel.

Okay, then.

We'll get some ticket.

You could sign the little more
enthusiastic.

Jim,

what's going on?

I'd just like to be kept in touch,
that's all.

Thank goodness you're back.

Pam Fleming's in Munich. She's
threatening to blow everything.

When I told her you'd be here, she said
you're the only one she'd listen to.

Hello, Mrs Taggart.

Jane, wait a minute.

Why could you not have told me?

Holiday, indeed.

It is a holiday.

I just didn't want you bothered with
this.

Only business, that's all. You're
incapable of going anywhere and

about work.

Will you let me explain?

Who's Pam Fleming?

And why are you the only one she'll
listen to?

Detective Sergeant Ulrich Geisler.

Detective Chief Inspector Taggart. How
do you do? All very well.

Where is she? She's inside.

It's a long way to come fishing.

You said you needed evidence.

If Morris or Carl had seen you, you
would have ruined everything.

How do you plan to get it?

We satisfy ourselves they are lovers.

And then we apply to question them
further.

What a pity you didn't satisfy yourself
in Glasgow.

I want justice for Rowena. Get justice
for her.

As long as you don't interfere.

She couldn't wait to get here.

The climate, the gas house.

The very last conversation I had with
her was all about the rare species of

fungi that grow here and how she was
looking forward to picking new types of

mushrooms. She went through life like
that, with her head buried in the

Unlike you.

Too short.

There's one way you can help this
investigation.

It's, um... Well, I'll be frank with
you.

It's more a personal favour.

There you are.

Plenty for you to see and do.

Am I to see nothing of you?

I'll be back.

I just want to go out and play for a
bit.

Husbands.

Did I know I've had two of them?

We can't be here. It's only this time of
year.

Why don't we go to Munich?

See Morris.

You worked for him umpteen years.

What do you want to see him so soon for?

Anyway, I want to go somewhere other
than a beach. I can just... Are you

listening to me?

Do you want a holiday or no?

Hey. Hello, Frank.

Oh, hello there. How are you doing, eh?
Hey, I can't stop now. I've got a client

waiting in the office for me. How's
Morris?

Oh, haven't he had... Sure he's enjoying
himself.

I'll see you around then.

See you.

Who's that?

Ernest Atkin. He's an estate.

He used to find properties for Morris to
do up.

What's your father doing?

He thinks he's found dry rot.

And he's not my father.

Would you like to come with me to the
cinema?

Oh,

there's a bit of dry rock.

You never quite stop being a builder.

Oh, badness in the wood.

Don't drink from me.

Oh, come on.

You can't be a Jesse in a place like
this.

Jesse?

I would never let them behave like that
in Sucky Hill.

Isn't that Carol with them?

Yeah.

Good.

I'd be glad to see the back of this
place for a fortnight.

Of Morris, thank.

All these years you did labouring for
him.

I think what he gave you was the least
he could have done.

Didn't he have to do it?

I feel I owe him a favour.

You owe him nothing.

He's probably doing all right for
himself over there.

He's no hard -up.

You've killed it.

Put another gin in there.

She's floating with a young man.

Laurie, she's just sitting over there.

They love a strange way of showing it.

So it looks like we were wrong.

You all right?

I'm wrong, Jean.

About Rowena Bain's death.

Well, the motive for it, anyway.

That's not what Pam Fleming thinks.

She talked about nothing else.

How did you get on together?

All right.

Maybe I'll see a bit more of you now.

Can I speak to Carol?

No, you can't.

But I want to.

Thank you.

I would like you to meet my brother
Bernhard. Your brother?

Hello. Hello.

We thought you could do with a little
extra help in finding out the truth.

Why couldn't you think of something like
that?

Actually, it was my idea.

Tschüss. Tschüss.

Lange haben Sie diese Schmerzen in der
Brust?

Während des letzten Jahres wurden sie
schlimmer.

Und was hat Ihnen Ihr britischer Doktor
verschrieben?

Ja.

Stop this, what a game of soldiers.

I can't believe this.

I mean, I've come here to speak to him.
Now, why can't I?

It appears Mr. Bain is in a heart
condition.

He's experiencing some pain. The doctor
says there's no way that you can talk to

him. I've heard all this already back
home.

It doesn't stop him coming here,
sightseeing, going to beer halls,

people.

He cannot allow Mr. Bain in his current
medical condition to be interviewed by

you on German soil.

I'm sorry.

So much for the EEC.

There's always cattle, Bain.

What are you doing here?

Watching you.

Sit down.

Morris didn't know that boy was a police
officer.

Why did he have to? You're not under
arrest, Miss Bain.

I have to tell you, you don't have to
answer any question if you don't want

I want to.

All right, so Morris does love me. What
of it? It's not a crime.

Why did you tell us lies back in
Glasgow?

It was no business of yours.

Under the same roof as your mother.

Well, don't you think I felt guilty?

You don't deliberately start these
things.

They just happen.

And I know who told you.

It's just a jealous bitch who wants to
make trouble for Morris and me.

Jealous?

Why should she be jealous?

You really don't know?

Looks like she hasn't been entirely
truthful either.

Caro!

Why is she jealous?

Because she and Morris were lovers long
before he met Mum.

I won't be back till six o 'clock
tonight.

We can't wait that long.

Tell us to go into the coach company.
Find out exactly where they'll be.

I'll try.

We can't hold Mr. Bain if he wants to
go.

I thought my police officer's okay over
here. I think so.

Bannard with an archon provocateur.
Could be risky.

Thank you, sir. You've just made me a
very happy man.

That was the biscuit on the line.

The Aussie police have traced Bruce
Miller. He's the head of a school in

Melbourne. And Leslie Bain is not with
him. Where did he last see her? Leska.

She was supposed to see him off.

Never turned up.

You have to hold him now.

Thanks very much.

You pick up, Morris. Come on, we'll get
a cab.

Thank you.

What's wrong?

Morik, who are you phoning?

Tell me.

It's a message from Frank Sweeney,
something about the house. Some damn

Look, I've got to go back for a couple
of days.

There's a flight this afternoon.

Why the urgency?

I can't explain. Just trust me, will
you?

I'm sorry.

You keep herning Frank, and if you get
him, tell him not to do anything. Just

leave it to me.

And if the police want to know where I
am, well, I'll tell them anything.

But don't tell my mom and dad.

I don't know what you're doing here, but
I'm very glad to see you. Where's Pam

Fleming? Up there, taking photographs.

You look after Jean.

A long way down.

You didn't tell me you were in love with
Morris Bain.

What of it?

Mrs. Fleming, I'm in no mood for games.

All right, but I don't see how it
concerns you.

Where's Mr Taggart?

He's up there.

Did you know his first wife, Leslie?

Yes. So that's how you knew so much
about her and about La Mancha.

You were carrying on with Morris Bain
while he was still married to her.

Carrying on? It was more than that. So
Morris was the meaningful relationship.

Could have been.

You were jealous when your sister stolen
from under your nose.

So you must have been jealous of your
first wife, too.

You don't know the half of it.

I know why you were so desperate for us
to arrest Morris Bain.

Revenge.

It's my fault for introducing them.

All because Rowena wanted a bigger
kitchen area.

She went in power, went to pick up
Morris, and Carol said he went to

Bremen? Yes, to do with looking at
people he knew as a boy.

For somebody with a heart condition, he
gets around.

What come?

What was that you said about building
work at the base?

Just a few extra feet to make the
kitchen bigger.

You look after Gene, and when you find
Morris, nail him down.

Hope this hunch is right.

So do I, otherwise I'll look right under
heat.

Under heat?

That definitely doesn't translate.

Welcome home.

I hope you haven't started the party
without me.

We'll make sure you're right this time.

It's the perfect place.

Won't bother to take the body with him.

Right, hang on for it.

Thanks.

Listen. It's okay, Frank.

Hey, where's the fire?

I'm trying to read my paper.

Oh, I've got the key.

Whose car's that?

I've no idea.

I told Frank Sweeney about the damp. He
said he would do something about it, but

I haven't been able to get in touch with
him.

The door's open.

You two, round the back.

Get an ambulance.

How was Brayman?

Chief Inspector Taggart, do you now
accept that the death of the

second Mrs. Bain was suicide?

Yes.

Yet you...

in the face of all the evidence,
determined to prove it was murder?

Yes.

You even travelled to Germany at
considerable expense to try and prove it

murder? It was suicide dressed as
murder.

She did it herself to take revenge on
her husband.

Chief Inspector, don't theorise.

Mrs Bain is not here to tell us why she
did it.

Don't you think it amounts to
overzealousness on the part of the

conviction at any cost?

No. I call it doing our job.

And now that Mr Bain is charged instead
with the murder of his first wife, you

consider your job done.

I was surprised you got that in.

About Rowena Bain?

She'd have wanted it said, Babushka
doll.

What about that defence?

Found her dead, panicked and concealed
the body?

A lot of killers have tried to get away
with that one.

This time there's too much forensic.

Nice to see you believing in it again,
General.

How long have you and the defendant been
lovers?

Eight years.

In your mother's home?

Under the same roof?

Yes. This isn't a court of morals, Miss
McKenzie.

I apologize, my lord, and to the
witness.

I put it to you that you would be
prepared to

lie for the defendant.

Yes.

You admit it.

Yes, I'd lie for him.

Because if he said he didn't kill
Leslie, I'd believe him.

No further questions.

Why don't you ask me why my mother
killed herself?

She's the one who landed us here.

Please, stand down.

It's because you find us in bed
together. That's why she did it.

Mrs. Blamey.

How do you feel?

It's a life sentence.

You won't live to see it out.

So bitter.

Even still.

One question was never answered.

Nor asked.

Who did he kill Leslie for?

You.

Or the wiener.

You still don't understand, do you?

He didn't kill for either of us. It was
Carol he moved in with.

She'd have stayed with her.

She was the perfect catch.

He threw her back.

Yes, I know the city like a lover.

Little bear, it's hard to love another.
But I found this is no

meantime. No means today.

City life is strange. You take your
shower.
