INDISTINCT CHATTER

You still haven't got anything to cook with!

I'm fine.

Zeta, you have to eat properly.

You can't just live off instant noodles.

These look good.

Yeah, those will be really practical for uni!

ZETA LAUGHS Very practical!

Sorry!What?

Becks?

Sorry!

Oh! Sorry!

BABY CRIES

Sorry...

CAR BEEPS Sorry!

Mum?Hold these.

Gotta go.

Sorry!What the hell?

CHURCH BELLS CHIME

No, no, no, no...

Good morning, Mrs Eddingham.

You're on time.

And you are late, Mrs Starling.

I'm so sorry.

You have the key?

Of course.

It's almost as if I should get you your own copy.

The crypt is your responsibility.

Well, here we are, then.

Thank you.

I'll be an hour.

Maybe longer.

It's terribly dusty down here.

SUPRESSED SCREAM

What on earth is going on?

Are you OK?

I'm great.

This...

This is me being great.

WHISPERS:Mrs Eddingham!

Why does Mrs Eddingham need access to the crypt?

Well, that's obvious.

She's measuring herself up for a new coffin to sleep in.

She's researching her family history, trying to work out

what century she was born!

PHONE VIBRATES

Oh. Excuse me.

Hello, Judith Potts.

Ah, Mrs Potts. It's Peter Bailey here.

I hope you don't mind me calling.

I got your number from Mrs Eddingham.

I want to invite you to a party.

I'm sorry?

This afternoon, to celebrate my marriage tomorrow.

What do you say?

What I would say, Sir Peter, is that we've never met.

Oh, your reputation precedes you.

And I'm worried...something might happen.

Something bad?

Look, I can't say, not over the phone.

Come to the party. I'll tell you all about it then.

It's from 2.30. Will you be there?

Oh, of course. On one condition.

That I can bring two friends with me.

Well, absolutely, as many as you like.

ORCHESTRAL MUSIC

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Well, this is something, isn't it?

Oh, you can say that again.

It's quite a lot of something!

LAUGHTER

Oh, hello.

Thank you.

Ladies.Thanks.

So what's the plan?

Let's start with Sir Peter.

Does anyone know what he looks like?

MEN LAUGH LOUDLY

And then his legs fell off!

Ha-ha-ha!

I think we've found him.

What is it with the red trousers?

They are rather vivid.

At least we won't lose him in the crowd.

Oh, we'll chat later.

Will you excuse me?

Peter, come with me.

Well, he's the groom. He's in demand.

So how about we try and find the bride-to-be?Mm.

Peter said it was his grandma's engagement ring,

and then his mum's.

And now it's yours.

MUSIC: Habanera from Carmen by Georges Bizet

That's our tune.

And, seriously, you've become a lady.

Oh, don't!

I know. Jenny Page today, Lady Bailey tomorrow.

Not that the title matters!

I'm so lucky.

ENGINE APPROACHES

No.

He said he wouldn't.

Jenny!

Why are you here, Tristram?

You promised!

I changed my mind.

How dare you do this to your father?

I want to celebrate the happy couple.

The plot thickens.

Tristram, I told you you're not welcome.

What the hell are you doing here?!

This is my home.

No, it bloody well isn't.

You can't bear to see your dad happy, can you?!

Jenny... Oh, now look what you've done.

Nice to see you too.

CHATTER AND MUSIC RESUMES

Are we really going to pretend that didn't just happen?

It's the English way.

Erm, Judith Potts.

I think you might need another one.

Thank you. Tristram Bailey.

Oh, Sir Peter's son.

Sadly for both of us, yes.

It can be complicated, a parent remarried.

Especially when the person your dad's marrying is his nurse.

My sister and I reckon he's just doing it to get out of

paying her wages.You have a sister?

Mm. Rosanna. She should be knocking about here somewhere.

Anyway, erm...

..to the happy couple.

CRASHING

What was that?

That didn't sound good.

Dad?

Peter?What was that?

Where's Dad?

It came from downstairs.

Peter?

Dad?

Dad?

INDISTINCT VOICES

Dad?

Sir Peter?

Over here in the study.

Dad?Where are you?

What...Is there a spare key?

Peter?

Get out the way. Get out the way!

JUDITH:What's going on?

Ah, Rosanna.

I'm sure the sounds...

Dad?

Dad, are you in there?

Dad?Move away, Rosanna!

OK!

Dad...

Oh...

Help me lift this!

Come on, come on!

All together now.

And...lift!

GRUNTING

Oh, no!

Oh, no, no, no, no, no!

No, no, no...

We need to call an ambulance.

Peter!

He's dead.

SHE SOBS We need to get you out of here.

Suzie...Yeah.

Come on. She's right.

Come on.

Ambulance Service.

Sir Peter Bailey.

I'm so sorry.

How did it happen?

Ask for the police too. We need to clear this room.

Come on, people. SOBBING CONTINUES

We need the police. This is a crime scene -

don't touch anything, please!

SIRENS BLARE

Jason, round up the witnesses.

Alice, prepare an area to take statements.

Sarge.

Thank you for coming. There's been the most terrible accident.

Please, take a few steps back for me.

My name is DC Jason Kennedy.OK...

Suzie, Becks, you stay here, talk to people, hunt around.

We need to start investigating.

Won't Tanika mind?

Mind? She'll be livid.

But until she tells us we can't nose around...

We can do what we like. Yeah, I like it.

Where are you going?

Hmm.

Anyone found the key to this door?

In his pocket.

That certainly looks like it.

Oh, Mrs Potts.

What are you doing here?

I don't think this was an accident.

I'm sorry?

I think someone killed Sir Peter.

Hello, Judith.Hello, Tanika.

How's Shanti?

She's great, thanks.

Not sure this is the right moment.

No, no, of course not.

Sir Peter rang me this morning, invited me to the party.

He was worried that something bad might happen.

Well, here we are.

Ah, Detective Sergeant, you might want to look at

the side of the cabinet.

There's an old hook on the wall for keeping it upright.

Only it's been unhooked.

Oh, yeah.

Yes, Mrs Potts is right.

It doesn't mean it's done recently, though.

Look, the family are saying it was an accident.

The door to the room was locked, which is why it had

to be broken through.

I know - I was with them at the time.

And they found no-one else in the room when they got into it,

and no other way in or out. The windows don't open.

So if this was murder, just how did the killer push that cabinet

onto Sir Peter and then get through the locked door afterwards?

I'm still working on that bit.

It all started when Tristram arrived.

It all started when my dad hired a gold-digger for a nurse.

I loved your dad. He loved me.

Yeah, I don't doubt that for a second.

It was in your interest to make sure he did - your financial interests.

Please!

The pair of you.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Judith?

I'm...sorry to intrude.

I know how hard this is for you,

but Sir Peter wanted me here.

He suggested that there were tensions in the family

about the upcoming wedding.

You can say that again.

And you're his daughter?

Rosanna Bailey.

It's Tristram you need to speak to.

Yes, your arrival at the party made your father very angry.

Is that true?

My brother was stupid enough to let Father know his opinions

about his stepmother-to-be.

He was banned from attending, weren't you?

I can do what I like.

TANIKA:What happened?

Jenny went for me, made a huge scene in front of all the guests,

and then fled for the house.

I was upset.

TANIKA: Where did you go?

I... I had to get away.

I... I wanted a cigarette.

Not that I smoke, not normally.

Peter has a pack in our bedroom. That's where I went.

You didn't see him come into the house after you?

I didn't know he'd even followed me.

And I never went into the house, so I have no idea

what happened either.

But if we're talking about tensions, why don't you tell everyone

about yours and Dad's big bust up?

What's this?

It was nothing.

My sister's company needed a loan, and dad said he wouldn't throw

good money after bad.

Isn't that right?

Where were you when the crash happened?

I was outside with the other guests.

I don't remember seeing you, and I'm sure I'd have remembered

such a distinctive jacket.

Oh, you've lost a button on your cuff.

It's vintage.

Button fell off.

DOOR OPENS

Oh, God.

Jenny, I'm so sorry.

Rosanna, Tristram, this is the most terrible news.

Excuse me.

Of course.

Apologies. I'm Andrew Husselbee, the family's lawyer.

I'm here to collect Sir Peter's most recent will.

What do you mean, most recent?

Peter made a new will three weeks ago.

What?

What's in the new will?

Well, it was all rather irregular. He wouldn't tell me.

But you're his lawyer.

And your father just wanted me to witness it,

along with Adam, your gardener.

He didn't tell either of us what was in it.

The safe is over here.

Peter said he'd changed the combination to the date

of our wedding.

Tell me, what was in the old will,

the one he was replacing?

Well, it left his entire estate to Tristram.

JENNY GASPS

Oh, I'm sorry.

Come on, let's sit you down.

It's in a long white envelope.

I don't see an envelope in here.

You're right. It's not there.

So if the new will can't be found, then the old will still stands.

How very interesting.

Judith, I think I can take it from here.

Thank you.

What a good idea.

Have you found something?

Yep, we have.

Someone was hiding in the bushes.

Look, look, look.

Right outside Sir Peter's study.

Oh, this is good!

The soil's damp.

Someone's recently watered this bed.

And the prints have been there since then.

Oh, and there's a cut, across the left sole.

These prints were left by a pair of ladies Hunter wellies.

You can tell from the pattern on the heel.

Hold on. You know this how?

Its my specialist subject -

posh wellies of Marlow.

SUZIE LAUGHS Wonderful.

So there was a woman here.

So what are we saying?

Could this be our killer?

Well, it's possible, although Tanika thinks Sir Peter's death

was an accident.What about you?

What do you think?

I think my house, tomorrow morning.

See you both then.

Luna! Hello, girl!

Hello.

No, these are not for you. No, no, no.

Zeta! I've got fish and chips!

SHE CHUCKLES

I'll even let you watch your favourite TV show.

Zeta!

Oh.

Well, I guess it's just you and me, girl.

POUNDING DANCE MUSIC

Cup of tea coming up.

I'm so sorry about Mrs Eddingham.

Oh, she told you?

At great length.

She wants to raise the matter of crypt access at the next PCC.

Wow. I bet you can't wait for that meeting.

HE CHUCKLES

DANCE MUSIC GETS LOUDER

BOTH: Music!

Oh, what? Sorry for living!

When we first met, you used to hang out with rock stars.

Well, I really just wanted to hang out with you.

Well, now our life is the kids, Mrs Eddingham

and the parochial church council.

Oh, with a bit of murder on the side.

We should go on a date.

What? Us?Yes, us.

Just us. No kids.

How long has that been?

You can't bear to see your dad happy, can you?!Jenny!

I don't remember seeing you.

Peter made a new will three weeks ago.

It all started when my dad hired a gold-digger for a nurse.

Right, Jasper, who has something to hide?

Sunday. Chequers.

I've been running background checks on the family.

There was a domestic three months ago.

We were called to Sir Peter's house by Adam Warner.

He's their gardener.

OK, everyone, what else have we got on the Bailey case?

Oh, uh, well, Sarge, the postmortem is in, and the cause of death

was blunt force trauma to the head.

So no surprises there,

seeing as a bloody great big cabinet fell onto him.

And the time of death is about 3pm,

which fits with the witness statements.

What did our witnesses say?

No-one saw anything.

They were all outside at the party, apart from Jenny Page,

who was upstairs.

What have we found out about her?

Well, Sir Peter hired Jenny Page as his live-in nurse last year,

for his diabetes.

They started dating a few months later, and then he proposed

to her soon after.

And what happened to the first Lady Bailey?

Oh, they divorced three years ago.

She lives alone in Marlow, and she wasn't invited to the party.

So what else have we got?

Oh, well, I spoke to the family,

and the key to the door that we found

in Sir Peter's pocket is the only key for that room.

So seeing as he was on his own when he was found...

Suggests he was on his own when he died.Mm.

But what are we saying? Sir Peter went into his study,

locked the door, and then pulled the cabinet onto himself?

Maybe he was trying to reach for something on top of it?

It's possible.It was full of heavy scientific kit.

Maybe it was top heavy?Mm.

Brendan, Jason, speak to Adam Warner about that domestic.

And, Alice, can you check with local locksmiths?

Is it possible someone made a copy of the study key?

Got you.

But without any evidence to the contrary, DCI Greenly told me

she wants us to treat this as an accidental death.

It was murder.

Old cabinets don't just throw themselves onto prospective grooms

the day before a wedding.

Yep. Someone was in there pushing it onto him.

CHURCH BELLS PHONE ALERT

But how did they get out of the room afterwards?

Well, that's the million dollar question.

Could they have left through the window?

They were painted over. Hadn't been opened in years.

How about the chimney? Or is that a stupid idea?

No, I looked at the flue, but it was only a few inches wide.

Well, if there's no way for the killer to have got in or out,

it can't have been murder.

Someone was in there and killed Sir Peter somehow.

If only he'd told me what he was worried about when he rang me.

CHURCH BELLS PHONE ALERT

SHE LAUGHS

OK.

Keeping this simple,

there was only one other person in the house at the time - Jenny.

What, you think his bride-to-be killed him?

Mm. She said she was upstairs at the time,

but how do we know that's where she was?

Nah, I don't buy it.

All Jenny had to do was wait until she was married

and then killed him. She'd have been a millionaire.

Well, there is that. She'd have had the title as well.

Lady Bailey.Exactly.

Why kill someone today when you can be rich and an aristocrat

if you kill them tomorrow?

I looked her up on her agency website.

She's worked all over Europe.

Glowing references from France, Germany, Switzerland.

She's one of their top nurses.

CHURCH BELLS PHONE ALERT

All right. What's going on?

What?The phone.

Oh, it's just Colin. Mrs Eddingham is giving a speech at the PCC,

and he's texting me live updates.

Wow. Life in the fast lane.

She's just said, "Back in my day" for the sixth time.

BECKS LAUGHS

Rosanna Bailey said she was outside at the party when her father died.

But I don't remember seeing her.

She was wearing a rather distinctive vintage jacket.

Mm. No, that doesn't ring a bell.

Me neither.What wouldn't I give for proper access to the crime scene?

Will Tanika let us?No way.

PHONE BUZZES

Judith Potts.

Mrs Potts, I hope you don't mind me contacting you.

It's Jenny Page.

No. No, of course not, Jenny.

How can we help?

Can you come to the house?

I know Peter trusted you

and I want you to help me find his new will.

Of course.

Tristram was hanging around here a few months ago,

and then I noticed a packet of rat poison was missing.

In there, on that shelf.

And you think Tristram took it?

Sir Peter was always so worried about his son, what he'd do

to get his hands on his money. I had to tell him.

When Sir Peter confronted him about it,

Tristram lost his temper.

SHOUTING

I was frightened he was going to hurt his father.

Yeah, but he didn't, did he?

Sir Peter chose not to press charges.

He was a gent.

You got on with him?

He loved this garden as much as I do.

And how did he treat you?

Always looked out for me.

Mr Warner, is it possible you just misplaced the rat poison?

I'd have remembered if I'd moved it.

That was a waste of time.

Let's go and get some chicken.

Should probably tell Sarge.

I never planned to fall in love with one of my patients.

But under all that bluster, Peter was...

..so kind, vulnerable.

I loved him.

Go where you like. Pull the house apart.

I want his new will found.

CHURCH BELLS PHONE ALERT

No way. Mrs Eddingham still going?

33 minutes and counting.

Sounds like you and Colin are really getting along.

We're going on a date. Mm!Or planning to,

when we find the time. Oh-la-la.

Hang on.

What is this doing here?

Everything smashed when the cabinet fell over.

So why is this jar still in one piece?

It was lucky?

Mm.Suzie, would you...?

OK.Hang on. Magnesium.

Is that safe?Yes.

Don't you remember your chemistry lessons?

Magnesium's a metal.

I wasn't always in chemistry lessons.

You skived off school?

No. Well, just chemistry.

Who'd have thought travel sweets could be so versatile?

It's been polished clean.

Not a single fingerprint on it.

KNOCKING

Sarge, I thought you should know,

we saw Mrs Potts and her friends at Sir Peter's house.

You did? What were they doing?

I don't know. They could have just been visiting.

Thanks for letting me know.

KNOCKING

I've spoken to two locksmiths about the key to Sir Peter's study.

They say you can't use modern machines to copy old keys like that.

Apparently, I need to speak to some blacksmiths,

so that's what I'm doing.

OK. Thank you.

So Zeta's off to uni next week?

In her head, she left months ago.

At least you can spend these last few days together.

I've hardly seen her.

I mean, you're desperate for your children

to become independent. And how do they pay you back?

By being independent. Thank you.

So, Judith, what's the goss?

Goss?

I don't do gossip.

Oh, behave. You are all gossip.

Well, as it happens, I've started doing the crossword

in the Maidenhead Advertiser.

And that's your gossip?Whoever sets it is putting in secret messages.

The answers in the four corners are always a location,

a day and a time.

What do you think of that?Mm.

Oh!

What's this doing here?

What is it?I happened to notice there was a button missing

on Rosanna's jacket.

So what's it doing in her father's dressing room?

Where am I going?

It's this turning on the right.

Are you sure this is the right address?

17. That's what it says on the website.

DOG BARKS

Yes?

You're Lady Bailey, aren't you?

It's lovely to meet you.

I'm Becks Starling.

I'm the wife of the vicar of All Saints.

These are my friends.

At least you referred to me correctly.

It's not Mrs Bailey or, God forbid, Ms Bailey.

It's Lady Bailey.Of course.

These things are important.

They are.

Is your daughter in?

Rosanna has an office in my garden.

Can I interest any of you ladies in a gin and tonic?

No, I'm sure we'll be fine. Thank you.Thank you.

What are you doing here?

We want to know how a button from your jacket ended up

in your father's dressing room.

In families like ours, the first-born son gets everything.

So Tristram, who doesn't have a job,

isn't in any kind of relationship,

isn't a serious person, gets whatever he wants.

Monthly allowance, got it.

Money to travel.

He spent three months in the south of France last year.

What was he doing there?

He thinks he's an artist.

Says he wants to move to the Cote d'Azur for the light.

Whereas you?

Oh, I'm just the daughter. I get nothing.

Tell me about your eco business.

I run a consultancy that helps people make greener choices.

But people don't have as much money as they used to,

and the grants aren't what they once were.

So you argued with your father, as Tristram said?

I needed a bridging loan.

Just for a few months.

But father refused.

And it all came out. I couldn't help myself.

How I'd always been treated like a second-class citizen

in my own family. I didn't even get a penny in his will.

And all he'd say was that he had no choice.

It's how it's been for generations.

But it got nasty.

It had been building for years.

Why won't you help me?!

A few days later, I went back.

I had to clear the air.

I saw Father with our lawyer and Adam Warner, signing something.

It all seemed cloak and dagger, so I kept out of the way.

And that's when I found out that Father had a new will

and was putting it in his safe.

Had he finally listened to me?

But that's why I was in Father's bedroom before he died.

Everyone was at the party,

and I went upstairs to try and open his safe.

I had to know - had he left me anything?

I tried the combination - Tristram's birthday -

but he must have changed it.

And then I heard someone come up the stairs.

It was Jenny.

So you hid in his dressing room?

Did Jenny see you?

No.

But I could see her through a crack in the door.

And then I heard a crash.

CRASHING

I waited till the coast was clear before I dared go downstairs myself.

Look, my father was a difficult man, and we fought,

but he was still my father.

I loved him. And I know he loved me, in his own way.

I just wish he'd liked me.

Nah.

You killed him.

Sorry?I think you opened the safe that day

and you found the new will

and it still gave you nothing.

So you got rid of it, tore it up, and then you went downstairs

and pushed that cabinet onto your dad.

No.The man who didn't believe in saving the planet,

who didn't believe in you.

No, I was upstairs when he died.

Yeah. At some point. But how do we know

that's where you were when the cabinet was pushed onto your dad?

Look, I hate Jenny, I'll admit it.

She was only ever after Father's money.

It was the one thing Tristram and I agreed on.

She was upstairs when he died.

I'll vouch for her, even though it puts her in the clear,

because that's where I was as well,

as this button proves.

This family, all they care about is the money.

But this is bad news, isn't it?

If Rosanna was upstairs with Jenny at the time, that's two suspects

that couldn't have done it.OK, it just means that someone else

killed him.Like who?

The only person that's ever benefited from the death

is Tristram.And he was outside with us at the time.

I know - what if he had an accomplice?

Who was inside the study, killing Sir Peter while he stayed outside?

Like who?How about the loyal gardener?

You mean Adam Warner?

Oh, his name does keep cropping up.

Then we need to go and talk with him.

You know, I love the idea of Tristram having an accomplice.

Alice, have you got an update on the study key?

I spoke to two blacksmiths.

They said if anyone had tried to make a copy of the key,

there would be marks on the original

when it was gripped in a vice or whatever.

And there weren't any marks.

No-one's ever made a copy of that key.

It's the only one.

Sorry.

Ma'am?Detective Sergeant, just wanted to check in

on the Bailey case.Of course.

Any credible suspects?

A few possibles, but they've all got alibis.

Then any theories on how someone might have killed him and then got

out of the room afterwards?

None that makes sense, but there's something not right about it.

We still can't find Sir Peter's latest will

and he contacted Judith Potts that morning.

He said he was worried. About what?

He thought something bad would happen.

What evidence is there of foul play?

Nothing that would stand up in court.

We only have limited resources and a backlog of cases.

But if I could just...No. Unless and until a new and concrete lead

develops, it's time to move on.

Yes, ma'am.But good work. It is important to be thorough.

When the DCI first asked me to act up,

she told me I should trust my instincts.

She wants us to drop the Bailey case.

And what do your instincts say?

CRASHING Those are my father's plates!

WOMAN SCREAMS

Are you paying for those?! This is MY house!

I want you out of here. Pack your things!

Hey, hey!Oi, what are you doing?

What the hell are you doing here?

He attacked me.Oh, what are you talking about?

I didn't lay a hand on her. She's... What do you think you're doing?

This is my house!

I decide who stays in it or not.

No, it isn't.Excuse me, but I think you're...

You don't get anything until your father's estate clears probate.

Not his money, not this house.

And you certainly don't get to throw anyone out of it.

Jenny stays.

BUZZING

I told you not to call me.

That caller display said Cupcakes.

Cupcakes?

Do you know who that is?

No.

I thought Rosanna said he didn't have a girlfriend.

That's right. He doesn't.

TRISTRAM:Now's not the best time.

Right now. Right now is not a good time

for us to be seen together, because...

No, no, no, no. Stay where you are.

I'm coming to you.

I'm coming to you right now.

I'm going to be there in five minutes.

Yes.

I'm about...

TRISTRAM TALKS

Rather than just shouting...

Oh, no! Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Oh, no.

Oh, no!

We can't let him get away!

Bob!

Yes, Suzie?I need a favour.

Whoa!Suzie!This doesn't feel safe.

Come on.Stay in the lane, Suzie!

Morning!Sylvie!Sorry!

Let's get some speed on this.

Pedal to the metal!

Oh, God!Hold on, ladies. Steady, Suzie!

Hi.Hi. Mrs Potts?

Whoa!

Where is he going?Go, go, go!

Left, everyone!Indicate.

HORN BEEPS

You got a licence?Get off the road!Learn to drive!

Speed bump ahead.Slow down, Suzie. Careful, Suzie!

Hold on. Brace yourself. Oh, God!

Oh!

Blimey.

Go, Susie! Go!

Come on!Quicker, quicker, quicker!

I'm going, I'm going.

Right, right.

Taking the corner.Down there.

Don't lose him.Yeah, I can see him.

Got him.Come on!

Quicker, quicker!

Sorry!

Hey.Where the hell have you been?

I have a life to lead, OK?

But you were supposed to come and see me this morning.

Yes.You promised!I was going to, but I'm here now.

Oh! So where were you?

I've been busy.

So have I, but I fit in with you!

I'm always fitting in with you.

OK.

Have either of you seen this woman before?

It never is, is it? It's always about you!

PHONE BUZZES

I don't need this from you, OK?!

Tanika?I've got to drop this Peter Bailey case.

What?I can't prove any crime's been committed.

But Sir Peter knew something was up. That's why he rang me.

The cabinet had been removed from its hook beforehand

and fingerprints were wiped from evidence in the room.

You know about that?And Sir Peter's new will is still missing.
