1
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:41,760
Hey! Hey!

2
00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:43,500
Come here!

3
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,560
You'll never believe this, but we have
to visit a brewery.

4
00:02:31,420 --> 00:02:36,840
Trevor Radford, managing director of
Radford. One of the brewers found him at

5
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:37,840
the bottom of a vat.

6
00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:40,280
Just like poor old Clarence.

7
00:02:41,380 --> 00:02:43,000
Sounds like a pretty good way to go.

8
00:03:24,330 --> 00:03:25,330
Keep respect, then.

9
00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:27,670
I'm Dr. Halliday.

10
00:03:30,050 --> 00:03:31,690
Your first case, Doctor?

11
00:03:32,070 --> 00:03:37,030
Yes. They've thrown me in at the deep
end, like the deceased.

12
00:03:42,610 --> 00:03:43,890
He didn't drown.

13
00:03:44,310 --> 00:03:45,430
It's too early to say.

14
00:03:45,970 --> 00:03:49,390
There's a depressed fracture front left
of skull with a circular point of

15
00:03:49,390 --> 00:03:52,230
impact. Some heavy blunt instrument,
perhaps.

16
00:03:56,359 --> 00:03:57,680
Time? That's a difficult one.

17
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,160
They say the temperature in there is 55
degrees. That would have speeded things

18
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,160
up a bit.

19
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,360
Approximately.

20
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,100
Well, the body's cold, so it must have
been at least eight hours ago. Probably

21
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:09,099
nearer ten.

22
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:11,280
Assuming he was pushed in immediately
after he was hit on the head.

23
00:04:11,540 --> 00:04:15,200
Around ten yesterday evening. What would
he have been doing here at that time of

24
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,640
night? I think I can help you there,
Inspector.

25
00:04:18,220 --> 00:04:19,720
Norman Weeks, Marketing Director.

26
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,540
Yes, Mr. Weeks.

27
00:04:23,310 --> 00:04:28,250
Trevor had been burning the midnight oil
quite a lot lately, ever since farmers

28
00:04:28,250 --> 00:04:29,250
announced their offer.

29
00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:33,350
Farmers? Of Banbury? They're trying to
take us over.

30
00:04:34,270 --> 00:04:39,330
Trevor was preparing what he called a
defence document to be circulated to the

31
00:04:39,330 --> 00:04:40,330
shareholders.

32
00:04:40,510 --> 00:04:44,510
Well, that would explain why he was on
the premises. It doesn't explain what he

33
00:04:44,510 --> 00:04:45,510
was doing in here.

34
00:04:46,730 --> 00:04:47,730
No.

35
00:04:49,990 --> 00:04:50,990
Where's his office?

36
00:04:57,770 --> 00:04:59,150
into the yard, found the door open.

37
00:05:00,150 --> 00:05:01,150
Anything missing?

38
00:05:02,270 --> 00:05:03,270
Gail?

39
00:05:06,990 --> 00:05:07,990
Anything missing?

40
00:05:08,190 --> 00:05:09,190
Oh, I don't think so.

41
00:05:09,850 --> 00:05:11,250
This is Gail, our secretary.

42
00:05:11,510 --> 00:05:13,430
She was the last person to see Trevor
alive.

43
00:05:14,210 --> 00:05:15,350
Except for the murderer.

44
00:05:15,950 --> 00:05:17,350
Well, yes, naturally.

45
00:05:33,450 --> 00:05:35,530
He was preparing a defence document.

46
00:05:35,770 --> 00:05:36,770
Where is it?

47
00:05:36,850 --> 00:05:39,770
Could be in the safe, but I don't have
the keys.

48
00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:46,110
1841.

49
00:05:47,210 --> 00:05:49,850
The brewery's been in the Radford family
all that time?

50
00:05:50,870 --> 00:05:52,450
Nearly 150 years.

51
00:05:53,350 --> 00:05:54,890
No wonder they don't want to sell.

52
00:05:58,950 --> 00:06:00,990
What time did you leave last night?

53
00:06:01,510 --> 00:06:02,570
Just after six.

54
00:06:03,130 --> 00:06:05,810
I offered to stay on, but Mr. Redford
said he didn't need me.

55
00:06:06,030 --> 00:06:07,030
Excuse me, sir.

56
00:06:15,430 --> 00:06:17,190
Who's Mr. John Wheatley?

57
00:06:17,870 --> 00:06:19,170
The company surveyor.

58
00:06:19,970 --> 00:06:24,530
Why would Mr. Redford be writing a
letter to him dated 10th of June, 1986?

59
00:06:26,070 --> 00:06:27,290
I haven't the slightest idea.

60
00:06:35,310 --> 00:06:36,810
Seems to have made a copy.

61
00:06:40,550 --> 00:06:42,350
I suppose that could be in the safe,
too.

62
00:06:47,850 --> 00:06:49,350
How many work here?

63
00:06:49,770 --> 00:06:53,310
Ten in the brewing area, about 50 in the
other departments.

64
00:06:54,690 --> 00:06:57,330
I want every employee interviewed,
Lewis.

65
00:06:59,010 --> 00:07:00,730
Then get a search organised.

66
00:07:01,110 --> 00:07:03,810
Tell the lads they're looking for a
heavy...

67
00:07:04,110 --> 00:07:05,110
Blunt intimate.

68
00:07:05,430 --> 00:07:06,430
Right then.

69
00:07:10,950 --> 00:07:13,770
Take this back to the office. Give them
to make a transcript.

70
00:07:15,870 --> 00:07:17,650
Now, what do we know about the late Mr.

71
00:07:17,890 --> 00:07:19,130
Radford? Married?

72
00:07:59,229 --> 00:08:00,610
Mrs. Radford, please.

73
00:08:01,130 --> 00:08:03,850
She's not up yet. Wake her, will you?
It's important.

74
00:08:05,690 --> 00:08:06,690
You'd better come in.

75
00:08:07,430 --> 00:08:08,710
Shut the door behind you.

76
00:08:13,050 --> 00:08:14,370
Mrs. Radford!

77
00:08:14,810 --> 00:08:16,410
Yes, I can hear you.

78
00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:19,610
There's a policeman to see you.

79
00:08:38,850 --> 00:08:39,870
You're a policeman?

80
00:08:42,850 --> 00:08:43,850
Yes.

81
00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:49,210
If it's about that parking ticket, I
paid it yesterday. It's not about a

82
00:08:49,210 --> 00:08:50,210
ticket.

83
00:08:54,450 --> 00:08:55,450
Someone's dead.

84
00:08:56,170 --> 00:08:57,170
Yes.

85
00:08:57,950 --> 00:08:58,950
Who is it?

86
00:08:59,010 --> 00:09:00,070
Isabel? Charles?

87
00:09:00,970 --> 00:09:02,710
I'm afraid it's your husband.

88
00:09:26,830 --> 00:09:28,790
I wondered if you'd make us both some
coffee.

89
00:09:30,010 --> 00:09:33,650
Please. Mrs. Radford's just had a very
nasty shock.

90
00:09:34,370 --> 00:09:35,370
All right.

91
00:09:35,570 --> 00:09:37,970
I'll take mine black. No sugar.

92
00:09:43,970 --> 00:09:44,990
Car accident?

93
00:09:47,130 --> 00:09:49,790
No. He was murdered.

94
00:09:56,170 --> 00:09:58,370
Last night, at the brewery.

95
00:09:59,210 --> 00:10:00,550
The brewery?

96
00:10:02,830 --> 00:10:08,110
Look, Mrs. Redford, there are a few
questions I have to ask, but I can come

97
00:10:08,110 --> 00:10:09,110
back.

98
00:10:11,330 --> 00:10:18,250
I... I went to bed early, you see. I
took a sleeping pill.

99
00:10:21,150 --> 00:10:22,190
Mrs. Redford?

100
00:10:23,550 --> 00:10:25,250
All the time I was asleep.

101
00:10:26,350 --> 00:10:29,930
He was... I never thought to look.

102
00:10:31,670 --> 00:10:34,130
I just assumed he'd come and gone again.

103
00:10:36,930 --> 00:10:38,770
I don't think you ought to be alone.

104
00:10:39,930 --> 00:10:41,770
Is there anyone you'd like me to call?

105
00:10:42,790 --> 00:10:43,790
How was he?

106
00:10:45,270 --> 00:10:52,270
He was, um... hit on the head and... put
into

107
00:10:52,270 --> 00:10:53,270
a vat.

108
00:10:59,210 --> 00:11:00,210
Could you call Stephen?

109
00:11:01,370 --> 00:11:02,470
My brother -in -law.

110
00:11:04,570 --> 00:11:05,570
Number?

111
00:11:06,350 --> 00:11:07,610
It's in the book by the phone.

112
00:11:07,990 --> 00:11:09,390
Under Radford Future Tech.

113
00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:12,650
Ask him to tell his parents. I'll meet
him there in an hour.

114
00:11:14,030 --> 00:11:15,510
Would you like me to drive you?

115
00:11:17,410 --> 00:11:20,550
Who else knew Mr. Radford was working
late last night?

116
00:11:20,830 --> 00:11:21,830
Oh, everyone.

117
00:11:22,290 --> 00:11:27,490
I mean, we all knew about Farmer's offer
and about the governor trying to fight

118
00:11:27,490 --> 00:11:28,490
it off.

119
00:11:28,620 --> 00:11:30,560
You were all behind him. Of course.

120
00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:34,600
We produce some of the finest wine in
the country.

121
00:11:35,340 --> 00:11:37,460
So everyone's against farmer's bid,
right?

122
00:11:38,220 --> 00:11:39,740
Well, everyone at the brewery.

123
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,440
And what about the family?

124
00:11:46,740 --> 00:11:47,860
Oh, well, family.

125
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,440
There's no accounting for them, is
there?

126
00:11:51,820 --> 00:11:53,900
Take the brother for one, Mr. Stephen.

127
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,340
Here, Mr. Trevor never did see eye to
eye.

128
00:11:57,950 --> 00:11:59,250
I'm always arguing about this and that.

129
00:11:59,970 --> 00:12:01,190
Well, only last week.

130
00:12:01,630 --> 00:12:02,730
We all heard him.

131
00:12:04,910 --> 00:12:08,910
Mr. Trevor said in the diary he needed
more time to pull the brewery round.

132
00:12:09,670 --> 00:12:13,890
Mr. Stephen... I don't think he thought
Mr.

133
00:12:14,090 --> 00:12:17,410
Trevor could organise a proverbial even
in his own brewery.

134
00:12:19,850 --> 00:12:22,230
All right, then, where does your mate...

135
00:12:53,739 --> 00:12:55,440
Morse? Go ahead, Officer 03.

136
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,160
It's Lewis, sir.

137
00:12:58,480 --> 00:12:59,480
Where are you?

138
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,800
I'm driving Mrs. Radford to her in
-laws.

139
00:13:04,300 --> 00:13:05,380
That's something you should know.

140
00:13:06,500 --> 00:13:09,800
According to one of the employees,
Radford had a big bust -up with his

141
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:10,800
last week.

142
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,740
Not now, Lewis. I told you, I'm with
Mrs.

143
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Radford.

144
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,760
Oh, right then.

145
00:13:20,420 --> 00:13:21,480
I'll call you back.

146
00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:24,220
Please suggest it.

147
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:42,920
Mrs.

148
00:13:43,900 --> 00:13:47,660
Trevor, on behalf of the staff, may I
say how sorry I am? Thank you, Jeff.

149
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:48,880
They're waiting for you.

150
00:13:53,790 --> 00:13:56,230
There's a policeman outside. Show him
where to go, will you?

151
00:14:00,010 --> 00:14:03,670
Any sign of the murder weapon?

152
00:14:03,990 --> 00:14:04,809
Nothing yet.

153
00:14:04,810 --> 00:14:06,050
Tell him to keep looking.

154
00:14:06,870 --> 00:14:08,810
I'll meet you at the pub later.

155
00:14:13,870 --> 00:14:15,510
May I have your name, sir?

156
00:14:15,890 --> 00:14:16,890
Mort.

157
00:14:17,230 --> 00:14:18,230
Rank.

158
00:14:19,750 --> 00:14:21,270
That's important, isn't it?

159
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,080
I have to announce you, sir.

160
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:25,400
Chief Inspector.

161
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:27,680
Please come in.

162
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,240
This way, sir.

163
00:14:47,580 --> 00:14:49,900
Chief Inspector Morse, madam.

164
00:14:57,580 --> 00:14:58,660
The Good Samaritan.

165
00:14:59,620 --> 00:15:01,900
Not entirely. I was coming anyway.

166
00:15:02,540 --> 00:15:05,140
You're in charge of the investigations,
Inspector?

167
00:15:05,580 --> 00:15:07,180
Yes. Come over here.

168
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:09,820
I'm Isabel Ranford.

169
00:15:10,220 --> 00:15:11,340
This is my husband.

170
00:15:12,940 --> 00:15:14,380
And my son, Stephen.

171
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,460
I didn't catch the name.

172
00:15:18,180 --> 00:15:19,180
Morse.

173
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,880
You'll have to speak up. He's rather
deaf.

174
00:15:23,020 --> 00:15:25,120
And, uh, what's he doing here?

175
00:15:25,770 --> 00:15:28,490
He's a policeman. He's come to ask some
questions.

176
00:15:29,350 --> 00:15:33,470
You're looming, Inspector. Do sit down.
I can't bear people looming at me.

177
00:15:33,690 --> 00:15:35,910
Helen, come and sit next to me.

178
00:15:38,350 --> 00:15:40,990
Chin up, dear. We must all be very
brave.

179
00:15:42,950 --> 00:15:43,950
Well?

180
00:15:45,770 --> 00:15:48,630
Who stands to benefit from your son's
death?

181
00:15:49,290 --> 00:15:50,290
Benefit?

182
00:15:50,650 --> 00:15:51,790
From his will, you mean?

183
00:15:52,410 --> 00:15:55,090
Not necessarily. I was thinking of the
brewery.

184
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,580
Who'll take over as managing director?

185
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:00,480
What?

186
00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:04,220
The brewery, Mr. Radford.

187
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:06,740
Who'll be the new manager?

188
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,820
That is yet to be decided by the board.

189
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,020
No, dear, it'll be Farmers' decision.

190
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,280
If the deal goes through. It will.

191
00:16:15,660 --> 00:16:16,900
You're not being much help, Mother.

192
00:16:17,260 --> 00:16:21,000
Mr. Morse wants to know who'd have been
next in line if Farmers hadn't

193
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,400
intervened. I've no idea.

194
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:24,740
Norman Weeks, I suppose.

195
00:16:28,540 --> 00:16:31,200
Or, uh, Victor Preece.

196
00:16:31,820 --> 00:16:36,380
Who? Where were you last night, Mr.
Preece? At home, laying a new trap for

197
00:16:36,380 --> 00:16:37,380
Flying Scotsman.

198
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,700
What? You must have heard of the Flying
Scotsman.

199
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,320
It's a steam locomotive.

200
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,140
Or was, before they brought in these
hideous new diesel things.

201
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,620
The track. How long did it take?

202
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,140
Three or four hours. I kept changing my
mind, you see. I couldn't decide whether

203
00:16:53,140 --> 00:16:56,400
to take the North Allerton to Newcastle
section along the coast through West

204
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,820
Hartlepool and Sunderland or stick to
the inland route through Bishop Auckland

205
00:16:59,820 --> 00:17:01,780
and Durham. So you were at home the
whole evening.

206
00:17:02,620 --> 00:17:03,840
Anybody corroborate that?

207
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,160
Yes, my mother.

208
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,180
And the main local story is at 11 o
'clock.

209
00:17:15,790 --> 00:17:19,890
Police are baffled by the death of
Trevor Radford, managing director of

210
00:17:19,890 --> 00:17:23,910
Radford's Brewery, whose body was found
in one of the fermenting vats early this

211
00:17:23,910 --> 00:17:28,730
morning. According to the Thames Valley
CID, Mr Radford was working late last

212
00:17:28,730 --> 00:17:32,030
night and appears to have been attacked
as he left his office.

213
00:17:34,990 --> 00:17:36,030
Oh, blast!

214
00:17:37,290 --> 00:17:43,770
This offer for the brewery, I understand
it caused some disagreement in the

215
00:17:43,770 --> 00:17:45,410
family. Who told you that?

216
00:17:45,790 --> 00:17:46,790
Is it true?

217
00:17:47,670 --> 00:17:48,670
Yes.

218
00:17:48,970 --> 00:17:51,610
We did disagree about it. We still do.

219
00:17:52,550 --> 00:17:55,670
But I fail to see what bearing that has
on my son's death.

220
00:17:56,110 --> 00:18:00,490
I'm just trying to establish a motive,
Mrs Radford. My dear Inspector, I don't

221
00:18:00,490 --> 00:18:04,070
know what circles you move in, but in
this family we're not in the habit of

222
00:18:04,070 --> 00:18:06,570
murdering each other every time we have
a disagreement.

223
00:18:07,090 --> 00:18:08,970
They know about your row with Trevor,
Stephen.

224
00:18:09,490 --> 00:18:13,630
Someone at the brewery told them. So you
think I may have killed my brother, do

225
00:18:13,630 --> 00:18:14,630
you?

226
00:18:15,050 --> 00:18:16,110
Because we had a route.

227
00:18:17,690 --> 00:18:20,530
Would you mind telling me where you were
last night?

228
00:18:21,830 --> 00:18:23,290
Around ten o 'clock.

229
00:18:24,530 --> 00:18:26,110
I was driving back from Bristol.

230
00:18:27,070 --> 00:18:28,070
Alone?

231
00:18:28,710 --> 00:18:31,450
Yes. And what were you doing in Bristol?

232
00:18:32,290 --> 00:18:36,290
Oh, really? This is intolerable. I don't
mind, Mother.

233
00:18:37,570 --> 00:18:39,830
I had a meeting with Tremolo Computers.

234
00:18:40,430 --> 00:18:42,830
My company makes their printed circuit
boards.

235
00:18:44,010 --> 00:18:45,630
What time did your meeting end?

236
00:18:45,990 --> 00:18:46,990
About seven.

237
00:18:47,270 --> 00:18:49,510
I stopped off to have something to eat.

238
00:18:49,810 --> 00:18:50,810
Where?

239
00:18:51,310 --> 00:18:54,530
Some Italian place. I can't remember the
name.

240
00:18:56,150 --> 00:18:57,950
Paid by credit card, did you?

241
00:18:58,270 --> 00:19:01,910
No. It came to under 20 pounds, so I
paid cash.

242
00:19:03,150 --> 00:19:04,730
What time did you arrive home?

243
00:19:04,930 --> 00:19:06,270
That's enough, Morf.

244
00:19:07,090 --> 00:19:08,750
We've been very patient.

245
00:19:09,420 --> 00:19:14,120
But if all you're going to do is stand
there and virtually accuse poor Stephen

246
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:18,060
of Trevor's murder, then none of us has
anything further to say. The chief

247
00:19:18,060 --> 00:19:20,760
inspector's leaving, Jessop. Show him
out, will you?

248
00:19:39,690 --> 00:19:40,690
I thought it might be you.

249
00:19:41,050 --> 00:19:43,590
Well, George, why is that?

250
00:19:44,030 --> 00:19:47,910
Oh, you know, murder inquiry, beer
involved.

251
00:19:48,350 --> 00:19:49,830
I'll give it to Morse, I thought.

252
00:19:50,070 --> 00:19:52,710
Really? Make beer as well, do you?

253
00:19:54,450 --> 00:19:55,910
Good old Morse.

254
00:19:56,690 --> 00:19:58,090
Always the Puritan.

255
00:19:59,350 --> 00:20:00,590
Purist, George.

256
00:20:03,030 --> 00:20:05,750
Never one to make fine distinctions,
were you?

257
00:20:07,370 --> 00:20:09,710
We've both been out in the real world a
long time.

258
00:20:11,450 --> 00:20:12,610
Knocks the corners off.

259
00:20:13,210 --> 00:20:17,070
Yes, well, that makes them easier to
cut, I suppose.

260
00:20:21,130 --> 00:20:22,990
Getting the grand tour, am I?

261
00:20:25,050 --> 00:20:26,510
Hello, Farmer's Brewery International.

262
00:20:26,770 --> 00:20:27,770
How may I help you?

263
00:20:29,470 --> 00:20:31,910
All right, but he's not in the office at
the moment.

264
00:20:33,710 --> 00:20:36,070
It's a long way from Sparta, George.

265
00:20:36,650 --> 00:20:37,650
Sorry?

266
00:20:38,190 --> 00:20:40,210
The little club we ran at Oxford.

267
00:20:40,530 --> 00:20:42,950
Or you ran, I should say.

268
00:20:44,090 --> 00:20:47,730
Yes, the Society for the Promotion of
Traditional Real Ale.

269
00:20:48,170 --> 00:20:50,610
I never worked out what the first A
stood for.

270
00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:54,750
Boys' Games, Morse. It's a competitive
world out there.

271
00:20:55,030 --> 00:20:56,130
So I keep hearing.

272
00:20:57,370 --> 00:21:00,410
If you get Radford's, who'll run it?

273
00:21:01,810 --> 00:21:02,950
We haven't got it yet.

274
00:21:03,950 --> 00:21:06,550
Someone from Radford's, or will you put
your own man in?

275
00:21:08,210 --> 00:21:09,590
It's a corporate decision.

276
00:21:11,530 --> 00:21:14,950
So Trevor Radford couldn't hack it, is
that the story?

277
00:21:15,190 --> 00:21:17,710
What? Oh, Trevor Radford's no longer the
issue.

278
00:21:18,670 --> 00:21:20,310
That's one way of putting it.

279
00:21:21,190 --> 00:21:23,250
Look, Radford's is a sick company.

280
00:21:23,510 --> 00:21:26,750
Bad marketing, bad pricing structure,
bad financial strategy.

281
00:21:27,130 --> 00:21:30,130
They need somebody, as the Americans
say, to kick ass.

282
00:21:31,250 --> 00:21:33,370
Their freehold's worth quite a bit, too.

283
00:21:33,850 --> 00:21:37,810
I'm not an asset stripper, Morse, so
don't come to Guardian Editorial with

284
00:21:38,090 --> 00:21:40,450
We're talking commercial synergy here.

285
00:21:41,070 --> 00:21:44,830
Either Radford gets an injection of
outside capital or the whole lot goes

286
00:21:44,830 --> 00:21:46,270
the tube and the family win it.

287
00:21:47,830 --> 00:21:50,030
I'm their white knight, Morse.

288
00:21:52,850 --> 00:21:54,990
But who's the dragon, George?

289
00:21:57,250 --> 00:21:59,750
One of us will have to keep an eye on
the brewery.

290
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,080
I will.

291
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:02,920
Won't it be too much for you, dear?

292
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,000
What about your own business?

293
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,500
It's only a week to the board meeting,
Mother, and it'll give me a chance to do

294
00:22:08,500 --> 00:22:09,500
some detective work.

295
00:22:09,780 --> 00:22:10,780
What was that?

296
00:22:11,460 --> 00:22:15,740
Detective work, Dad. I want to find out
why Farmer's offer was so low. There's

297
00:22:15,740 --> 00:22:19,600
no mystery about that. Every predator
makes a low sighting shot. Not this low.

298
00:22:19,940 --> 00:22:22,060
It bears no relation to our asset value.

299
00:22:22,820 --> 00:22:26,760
I think farmers know something we don't.
Lord, I'd leave you to the meeting if I

300
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:27,279
were you.

301
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,900
Don't rock the boat. What do you mean,
don't rock the boat?

302
00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:34,860
I'm trying to keep it afloat, for God's
sake, till farmers rescue us.

303
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,240
Oh, stop it!

304
00:22:36,860 --> 00:22:38,300
Trevor's dead, for God's sake.

305
00:22:38,580 --> 00:22:41,380
All you can do is talk about the value
of your bloody assets.

306
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,580
I've got a copy of the transcripts here.

307
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:24,100
Dear Mr Wheatley, I've just received
your revaluation of our efforts, which

308
00:23:24,100 --> 00:23:25,300
frankly astonishes me.

309
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,780
I feel I must put on record my opinion
that your estimates are, without

310
00:23:29,780 --> 00:23:31,380
exception, far too high.

311
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,480
Oh, give it to me, Lewis.

312
00:23:36,940 --> 00:23:38,480
Far too high.

313
00:23:39,380 --> 00:23:44,120
I realise that land values have
increased dramatically over the last few

314
00:23:44,670 --> 00:23:50,670
But even taking this into account, I
cannot agree... Don't slurp in my ear,

315
00:23:50,910 --> 00:23:51,910
Lewis.

316
00:23:52,290 --> 00:23:56,950
I cannot agree that a 200 % increase
overall is justified.

317
00:23:57,170 --> 00:23:59,610
Perhaps we should meet to discuss the
matter.

318
00:23:59,990 --> 00:24:02,330
Yours sincerely, Trevor Radford.

319
00:24:05,450 --> 00:24:08,990
Why would Radford have dated that letter
three years ago?

320
00:24:11,510 --> 00:24:13,690
And why would he have burnt the top
copy?

321
00:24:16,929 --> 00:24:18,090
Any ideas, Lewis?

322
00:24:22,930 --> 00:24:24,990
There's got to be something to do with
the takeover.

323
00:24:25,970 --> 00:24:27,010
The motive, I mean.

324
00:24:27,770 --> 00:24:28,910
It's got to be financial.

325
00:24:29,530 --> 00:24:30,530
Maybe.

326
00:24:31,150 --> 00:24:34,450
But I think it's also to do with a
family feud.

327
00:24:35,870 --> 00:24:37,150
What, the brother? Stephen?

328
00:24:37,450 --> 00:24:41,010
Not just Stephen. The father, the
mother, the sister -in -law.

329
00:24:42,060 --> 00:24:45,880
I had the distinct impression that every
one of them was being economical with

330
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,360
the truth, as if they were closing
ranks.

331
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,360
Death always makes people close ranks.

332
00:24:54,380 --> 00:24:56,180
Death and money.

333
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,560
And Trevor's death has certainly cleared
the way for the sale of the brewery.

334
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:07,240
But who benefits from the takeover? The
Radford family, certainly.

335
00:25:08,900 --> 00:25:09,900
Farmers.

336
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:12,680
And the new managing director.

337
00:25:14,740 --> 00:25:16,260
There were two candidates.

338
00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:21,480
Norman Weeks and Victor Preece.

339
00:25:21,700 --> 00:25:23,140
Yeah, I interviewed both of them.

340
00:25:23,580 --> 00:25:24,580
And?

341
00:25:24,820 --> 00:25:26,220
Well, I advise check out.

342
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:29,680
All right.

343
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,440
Let's go and talk to the surveyor.

344
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:48,440
Do you want me to come in?

345
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:50,520
Better not.

346
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:00,160
Hello.

347
00:26:18,410 --> 00:26:20,030
What makes you think he typed this last
night?

348
00:26:21,490 --> 00:26:24,670
Because he made a copy. The column was
in the waste paper basket.

349
00:26:25,850 --> 00:26:27,090
But this isn't the original.

350
00:26:27,410 --> 00:26:28,410
No.

351
00:26:28,910 --> 00:26:29,950
Well, what happened to it?

352
00:26:30,470 --> 00:26:31,470
He burnt it.

353
00:26:33,410 --> 00:26:34,410
How very odd.

354
00:26:36,210 --> 00:26:39,670
I really can't help you, Chief
Inspector. I've no idea why he should

355
00:26:39,670 --> 00:26:41,430
decided that my valuation was excessive.

356
00:26:42,070 --> 00:26:44,470
You didn't disagree with it at the time?

357
00:26:45,550 --> 00:26:47,330
On the contrary, he seemed completely
satisfied.

358
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,260
And since then, you've had no cause to
revise your figures?

359
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:53,200
I wasn't asked to revise them.

360
00:26:54,660 --> 00:26:58,720
Could Redford's change of mind have
anything to do with Farmer's offer for

361
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,900
brewery? Well, that wouldn't make sense.

362
00:27:01,860 --> 00:27:06,000
Because whether or not the bid was
successful, we want the valuation to be

363
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,000
high as possible.

364
00:27:10,300 --> 00:27:11,820
Is that a copy of the valuation?

365
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,040
Of course. Could we see it?

366
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,300
What's the matter with Lewis? Don't you
have enough paperwork?

367
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,480
Well, I might have a bearing clip.

368
00:27:29,940 --> 00:27:32,220
What if it might have been killed to
stop him sending that letter?

369
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,280
Why? Well, I've no idea.

370
00:27:34,740 --> 00:27:38,300
But he burnt it, so he obviously never
intended to send it. We don't know what

371
00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:39,300
him that burned it.

372
00:27:39,860 --> 00:27:42,480
Were there any other prints on it? None
that we could find.

373
00:27:42,740 --> 00:27:45,520
Not much of a theory then, is it? Well,
do you have one?

374
00:27:46,260 --> 00:27:47,260
Not yet.

375
00:27:47,580 --> 00:27:50,100
But there's something very interesting
about this case.

376
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:51,680
What?

377
00:27:52,210 --> 00:27:56,890
Everyone we've talked to so far is
hiding something, including that

378
00:28:09,590 --> 00:28:11,530
Trevor Radford must have told the
family.

379
00:28:12,490 --> 00:28:15,090
They must know that he wanted you to
take over as manager.

380
00:28:16,110 --> 00:28:17,110
Maybe.

381
00:28:18,170 --> 00:28:19,730
Anyway, it's all academic now.

382
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:21,600
Not necessarily.

383
00:28:22,180 --> 00:28:24,820
You can always tell them that you were
Radford's choice.

384
00:28:25,140 --> 00:28:26,400
It doesn't work like that, Mother.

385
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,340
The family will make their own
appointments.

386
00:28:31,980 --> 00:28:35,800
The police won't bother you any more,
will they?

387
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,000
You're the one who's lost out.

388
00:28:38,340 --> 00:28:39,340
Yes.

389
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,580
I'm going to have to... What's the
expression? Consider my position.

390
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,660
Don't be silly, Victor. You mustn't
resign.

391
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,120
I'm a qualified carer, so I'll have no
trouble finding another job.

392
00:28:49,679 --> 00:28:51,280
Well, we must stay here in Oxford.

393
00:28:51,660 --> 00:28:53,300
Oh, no, I couldn't face another move.

394
00:28:53,500 --> 00:28:54,500
There you go.

395
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:55,600
Thank you, dear.

396
00:28:56,140 --> 00:28:57,440
Can you phone Bullens for me today?

397
00:28:57,660 --> 00:28:58,279
All right.

398
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,560
I'll miss my guard man coming, yeah?
Right.

399
00:29:05,660 --> 00:29:07,780
Oh, by the way, don't bother about
dinner tonight.

400
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,920
Mrs Radford gone shopping with children.

401
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:14,360
Be back soon.

402
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,260
It's all right if we wait, isn't it?

403
00:29:28,650 --> 00:29:30,310
Suit your kids this, Lewis.

404
00:29:39,050 --> 00:29:40,050
Thank you.

405
00:29:44,850 --> 00:29:46,030
Keep an eye on the children.

406
00:29:46,790 --> 00:29:50,190
Mrs Radford?

407
00:29:50,430 --> 00:29:53,910
Yes? I'm Chief Inspector Morse. This is
Sergeant Lewis.

408
00:29:55,010 --> 00:29:56,890
I was wondering when you were going to
get round to me.

409
00:29:57,370 --> 00:29:59,790
Oh? Last and definitely least.

410
00:30:00,650 --> 00:30:02,330
How can I help you, Chief Inspector?

411
00:30:03,890 --> 00:30:07,830
Your husband told us he had a business
meeting in Bristol the day before

412
00:30:07,830 --> 00:30:08,830
yesterday.

413
00:30:09,090 --> 00:30:10,090
Really?

414
00:30:10,650 --> 00:30:11,650
You didn't know?

415
00:30:12,790 --> 00:30:16,490
I'm not interested in his meetings. They
can be in Timbuktu for all I care.

416
00:30:23,050 --> 00:30:25,770
What time did he arrive home, Mrs.
Rutherford?

417
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:31,880
He's a suspect, is he?

418
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,160
Well, I expect someone told you that
Trevor and Stephen didn't get on.

419
00:30:36,900 --> 00:30:37,900
Is it true?

420
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:39,480
Yes.

421
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,780
Poor old Trevor made rather a mess of
things at the brewery and Stephen gave

422
00:30:43,780 --> 00:30:44,780
hell.

423
00:30:45,860 --> 00:30:47,160
He's the one with the head for business.

424
00:30:48,420 --> 00:30:51,020
Trevor was too proud to take his advice.

425
00:30:51,580 --> 00:30:54,520
And they disagreed about whether or not
to accept Farmer's offer?

426
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,080
Well, I think both of them would like to
have kept the brewery going if it

427
00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,080
hadn't been losing money.

428
00:31:00,140 --> 00:31:03,720
Stephen was just trying to salvage
something from the wreck, that's all. So

429
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,440
time did he get home from Bristol?

430
00:31:05,980 --> 00:31:07,180
I've no idea.

431
00:31:07,620 --> 00:31:08,620
You weren't here?

432
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:09,720
I was asleep.

433
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,520
What time did you go to bed?

434
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,100
I don't know.

435
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:17,299
I was asleep.

436
00:31:17,300 --> 00:31:21,460
I was watching television and then the
bloody horse of the air show came on so

437
00:31:21,460 --> 00:31:22,940
went to bed. It must have been about
half past eleven.

438
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,100
You didn't ask him why he was so late?

439
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,740
I don't have that sort of marriage, Mr.
Mort.

440
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,300
The police may wish to ask us some more
questions.

441
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,000
Be careful what you say to them, won't
you?

442
00:31:48,340 --> 00:31:49,340
Why?

443
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,100
We have some dirty linen.

444
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,440
We don't want it washed in public.

445
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,080
Well, what dirty linen?

446
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:58,660
To do with the family.

447
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:00,500
I don't know what you're talking about.

448
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,160
Yes, you do.

449
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:05,280
Do I?

450
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,220
It must have slipped my mind.

451
00:32:09,460 --> 00:32:10,460
Good.

452
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,500
Excuse me, madam. Mr. Lineker is here.

453
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:18,380
Here's a bow, my dear.

454
00:32:25,580 --> 00:32:26,820
I don't know what to say.

455
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:28,520
Nothing, George.

456
00:32:28,700 --> 00:32:29,740
But it's kind of you.

457
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:37,660
What's he here for?

458
00:32:38,460 --> 00:32:42,060
Come to offer my condolences, Charles.
I'm so sorry. Oh.

459
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,900
I suppose you think it's just a
formality now. What?

460
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,960
Our acceptance. I suppose you think it's
a foregone conclusion. He hasn't come

461
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,100
to talk business, dear. Don't be so
uncivil.

462
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,060
I still can't believe it. Who on earth
would want to kill him?

463
00:32:56,660 --> 00:32:57,660
Yes.

464
00:32:58,620 --> 00:33:00,020
He's such a harmless boy.

465
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,720
A little out of his depth, perhaps.

466
00:33:08,580 --> 00:33:10,640
That's what I find so hard to bear.

467
00:33:13,260 --> 00:33:14,980
The fact that he wasn't a success.

468
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,060
Never really achieved anything.

469
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,620
It's not easy, the brewery business.

470
00:33:30,220 --> 00:33:35,240
You know as well as I do, if Stephen had
been running the brewery, it would

471
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:36,320
still have been viable.

472
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,920
And you'd have had to pay a lot more for
it.

473
00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:11,080
Life's never that easy, Lewis.

474
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,300
I've just been on to Tremelo Computers
in Bristol.

475
00:34:15,780 --> 00:34:19,980
And? They did have a meeting with
Stephen Radford on the day of the

476
00:34:19,980 --> 00:34:21,840
it finished at six, not seven.

477
00:34:23,639 --> 00:34:24,639
All right.

478
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:27,960
Let's give him the benefit of the doubt.

479
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,280
Let's say he went for a meal before
driving home.

480
00:34:32,820 --> 00:34:35,900
Let's be generous. Let's say the meal
took an hour and a half.

481
00:34:36,650 --> 00:34:39,770
The drive back couldn't have taken more
than an hour and a half.

482
00:34:40,230 --> 00:34:42,409
He could have been in Oxford well before
9 .30.

483
00:34:42,610 --> 00:34:45,389
He didn't get home till after 11 .30.

484
00:34:45,690 --> 00:34:46,870
Which puts him right in the frame.

485
00:34:47,590 --> 00:34:50,570
And his wife didn't seem too keen to get
him out of it.

486
00:34:51,370 --> 00:34:52,370
Bitter.

487
00:34:52,690 --> 00:34:53,830
She seemed very bitter.

488
00:34:54,530 --> 00:34:55,530
Well, you think so?

489
00:35:00,210 --> 00:35:02,450
That was a curious phrase she used.

490
00:35:03,190 --> 00:35:05,030
Last and definitely least.

491
00:35:06,839 --> 00:35:09,740
But many that are first shall be last,
and the last shall be first.

492
00:35:11,580 --> 00:35:13,400
Very good, Lewis. Where do you pick that
up?

493
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:15,880
Sunday, of course, sir.

494
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:17,320
And what's its relevance?

495
00:35:19,060 --> 00:35:21,860
It means that it's one of these days I'm
going to be a chief inspector.

496
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,400
And you're going to be a sergeant, sir.

497
00:35:28,980 --> 00:35:29,980
It's Nelson.

498
00:35:31,500 --> 00:35:35,940
In view of the recent tragedy, I think
we should meet.

499
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:38,160
Don't you?

500
00:35:40,700 --> 00:35:42,060
To discuss the future.

501
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,060
I rang a mate of mine on the Oxford
Mail, and he confirmed what I'd already

502
00:35:46,060 --> 00:35:49,240
heard at the brewery. It's been running
it in a loft for several years.

503
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,620
So why does he think farmers want to
take it over?

504
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:54,640
For the land.

505
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,080
Prime site.

506
00:36:07,690 --> 00:36:10,970
He reckons they'll close the place down,
sell off the land to a development

507
00:36:10,970 --> 00:36:12,510
company. They've done it before.

508
00:36:12,790 --> 00:36:13,749
I know.

509
00:36:13,750 --> 00:36:17,190
Really? Chief Inspector Morse, Thames
Valley, please. Mr. Radford.

510
00:36:18,170 --> 00:36:21,690
One thing that puzzles him, though, why
the offer's so low?

511
00:36:22,430 --> 00:36:24,230
He says it's nothing like what it should
be worth.

512
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,120
Just a few more questions, sir.

513
00:36:44,060 --> 00:36:46,980
All right, but make it quick. I'm up to
my eyes today.

514
00:36:47,980 --> 00:36:50,840
You're not interested in helping us find
your brother's killer?

515
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,860
Not if you're trying to pin it on me.

516
00:36:55,300 --> 00:36:58,540
What time did you arrive back in Oxford
the day before yesterday?

517
00:36:58,860 --> 00:37:02,200
Here we go again. We're going again
because we didn't get an answer the

518
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:03,740
time. I'm sorry, I really don't
remember.

519
00:37:06,900 --> 00:37:10,400
You must have some idea. Nine, ten,
eleven?

520
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,060
Well, let's see. I left Bristol just
after eight, so it must have been about

521
00:37:15,060 --> 00:37:17,120
half past nine. And you drove straight
home?

522
00:37:18,300 --> 00:37:19,400
No. No.

523
00:37:20,220 --> 00:37:24,280
According to your wife, you hadn't
returned when she went to bed at 11 .30.

524
00:37:24,780 --> 00:37:30,140
And your meeting finished at six, which
leaves five or six hours unaccounted

525
00:37:30,140 --> 00:37:31,680
for. I'd arranged to meet someone.

526
00:37:32,300 --> 00:37:33,300
In Oxford?

527
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,400
Yes. Who?

528
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,200
I'm afraid I can't tell you.

529
00:37:38,420 --> 00:37:39,420
A woman?

530
00:37:40,110 --> 00:37:41,530
You must draw your own conclusions.

531
00:37:41,830 --> 00:37:45,810
Oh, I came to my own conclusion some
time ago, Mr. Radford.

532
00:37:56,450 --> 00:37:58,950
Oh, I thought it was Trevor.

533
00:38:00,770 --> 00:38:05,890
When I heard the doorbell, I thought I
was losing his key. I thought about

534
00:38:05,890 --> 00:38:09,410
phoning, but then I thought, well,
that's the easy way, so...

535
00:38:16,270 --> 00:38:17,270
Do you want to come in?

536
00:38:19,350 --> 00:38:20,370
How are you bearing up?

537
00:38:20,650 --> 00:38:22,450
All right. You didn't get sunk in yet?

538
00:38:29,330 --> 00:38:30,330
Family rallying round?

539
00:38:31,290 --> 00:38:32,290
Yes.

540
00:38:32,750 --> 00:38:33,750
Everyone's been very kind.

541
00:38:34,990 --> 00:38:35,990
Good.

542
00:38:37,690 --> 00:38:41,050
If Stephen and I can do anything to help
Helen, you will let us know, won't you?

543
00:38:41,570 --> 00:38:42,570
Thank you, Thelma.

544
00:38:50,210 --> 00:38:51,490
They wouldn't want you to be alone.

545
00:38:53,170 --> 00:38:54,510
Unless, of course, you prefer it.

546
00:38:55,750 --> 00:38:57,730
One of us could stay with you, if you
like.

547
00:38:58,690 --> 00:38:59,690
No.

548
00:39:00,270 --> 00:39:01,410
No, that won't be necessary.

549
00:39:03,630 --> 00:39:06,610
Sure you don't want me to send Stephen
round? I mean, he could sleep on the

550
00:39:06,610 --> 00:39:07,610
or something.

551
00:39:07,630 --> 00:39:08,850
Just till you're over the worst.

552
00:39:10,090 --> 00:39:11,730
I wouldn't dream of imposing on him.

553
00:39:12,630 --> 00:39:14,410
He's got enough on his plate as it is.

554
00:39:15,130 --> 00:39:16,130
He wouldn't mind.

555
00:39:16,650 --> 00:39:18,730
He can sleep anywhere. It makes no
difference to him.

556
00:39:20,270 --> 00:39:21,850
Shall I lend him to you for a while?

557
00:39:24,350 --> 00:39:25,350
Dangerous.

558
00:39:26,330 --> 00:39:27,550
I might want to keep him.

559
00:39:37,090 --> 00:39:38,090
I don't think so.

560
00:39:39,610 --> 00:39:41,310
He's very unreliable, you know.

561
00:39:42,270 --> 00:39:44,170
A lot of unexplained absences.

562
00:39:45,110 --> 00:39:46,110
Really?

563
00:39:46,210 --> 00:39:47,550
That's why the police came to see me.

564
00:39:48,460 --> 00:39:50,820
They wanted to know where he was the
night that Trevor died.

565
00:39:56,660 --> 00:40:02,120
Yes, well, it was the police who brought
me the news. Chief Inspector in charge

566
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,140
of the case. He drove me over to
Isabelle's. Really?

567
00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:07,600
He seemed to pick on Stephen.

568
00:40:08,820 --> 00:40:10,280
That made Isabelle very angry.

569
00:40:10,620 --> 00:40:11,620
I can imagine.

570
00:40:13,820 --> 00:40:16,420
Still, it's not absolutely impossible,
is it?

571
00:40:22,410 --> 00:40:24,090
Well, Trevor was in his way, wasn't he?

572
00:40:26,150 --> 00:40:27,530
At the brewery, I mean.

573
00:40:28,610 --> 00:40:30,310
The old Ethel and Jacob thing.

574
00:40:31,030 --> 00:40:33,450
One brother depriving the other of his
birthright.

575
00:40:41,270 --> 00:40:47,990
May we therefore beg your indulgence
over the settlement of your account and

576
00:40:47,990 --> 00:40:51,150
trust that it meanwhile delivers a
volume.

577
00:40:51,630 --> 00:40:53,270
We'll continue as usual.

578
00:40:54,810 --> 00:40:56,310
Yours faithfully, Cedra.

579
00:40:58,930 --> 00:40:59,930
What do you think?

580
00:41:01,570 --> 00:41:02,570
Sound all right?

581
00:41:09,350 --> 00:41:10,830
Should buy us in time?

582
00:41:12,190 --> 00:41:13,310
Yes, let's hope.

583
00:41:15,950 --> 00:41:18,430
We'll need time to make sure it gets the
evening post okay.

584
00:41:32,810 --> 00:41:34,070
You're wasting your time, you know.

585
00:41:34,970 --> 00:41:36,650
Hitching your wagon to the wrong star.

586
00:41:38,870 --> 00:41:39,890
What do you mean?

587
00:41:40,950 --> 00:41:45,310
I mean when farmers take over, I shall
still be here. Victor won't. And how do

588
00:41:45,310 --> 00:41:46,310
you know that?

589
00:41:48,170 --> 00:41:49,170
Never mind.

590
00:41:49,910 --> 00:41:51,430
Just take my word for it.

591
00:41:55,910 --> 00:41:56,910
Pathologist reporter.

592
00:41:59,330 --> 00:42:00,630
Give me the gist.

593
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,760
Well, the blow to the head didn't kill
him. He drowned.

594
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,800
He must have been attacked as he left
the office.

595
00:42:09,860 --> 00:42:12,300
Probably on the staircase, even down to
the main door.

596
00:42:13,780 --> 00:42:16,780
So he could have been hiding behind one
of those big copper things.

597
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:19,960
Tons, Lewis.

598
00:42:20,020 --> 00:42:21,020
They're called tons.

599
00:42:21,140 --> 00:42:23,020
It's where the brewers make the mash.

600
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:25,540
All right, then. Tons.

601
00:42:26,820 --> 00:42:28,680
I mean, it must have been pretty dark in
there.

602
00:42:29,580 --> 00:42:30,580
So he leaps out.

603
00:42:33,020 --> 00:42:34,900
What makes you so sure it was he?

604
00:42:35,740 --> 00:42:36,820
Well, it couldn't have been a woman.

605
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,680
She'd have had to drag him all the way
back up the staircase.

606
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:44,640
Radford didn't wail that much. A strong
woman, a fit woman, could have dragged

607
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,700
him into the mashing room and lifted him
into the vat.

608
00:42:48,460 --> 00:42:54,320
Tons of... Didn't you say that's what it
was called?

609
00:42:58,500 --> 00:42:59,700
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!

610
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:01,260
What? How are you?

611
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:03,440
How are you, Dad?

612
00:43:03,540 --> 00:43:04,680
What have you been doing?

613
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,560
I went to see Helen this afternoon.

614
00:43:20,540 --> 00:43:21,540
How is she?

615
00:43:21,700 --> 00:43:23,280
Oh, prostrate with grief.

616
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:26,280
Is there anything we can do?

617
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:28,440
Well, I would offer to lend you to her.

618
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:31,760
Lend me to her?

619
00:43:32,790 --> 00:43:34,550
I thought you might like the company.

620
00:43:35,110 --> 00:43:37,070
A manly soul at a cryon.

621
00:43:37,330 --> 00:43:39,410
I told her I could do without you for a
few days.

622
00:43:40,690 --> 00:43:41,890
Very generous of you.

623
00:43:42,330 --> 00:43:44,770
Well, she shouldn't be alone at a time
like this.

624
00:43:45,830 --> 00:43:47,110
I wouldn't be any use to her.

625
00:43:47,370 --> 00:43:48,650
I only get on her nerves.

626
00:43:49,570 --> 00:43:51,410
Did you get a visit from the police
today?

627
00:43:52,170 --> 00:43:53,170
Yes, you?

628
00:43:53,850 --> 00:43:54,850
Yes.

629
00:43:55,230 --> 00:43:56,330
You seem to be a suspect.

630
00:43:57,010 --> 00:43:59,930
They wanted to know why you were home so
late the night you were last.

631
00:44:01,390 --> 00:44:03,650
What did you tell them? I told them I
had no idea.

632
00:44:05,790 --> 00:44:07,610
I'm afraid I'll probably be late again
tonight.

633
00:44:08,530 --> 00:44:09,930
I have to go to the brewery.

634
00:44:10,410 --> 00:44:13,270
See if I can plug a few holes in the
sinking ship.

635
00:44:14,790 --> 00:44:15,910
Plug away, darling.

636
00:44:27,310 --> 00:44:29,170
That tart at the brewery, is it?

637
00:44:29,450 --> 00:44:30,950
Don't start all that again.

638
00:44:31,470 --> 00:44:32,690
Come on, little secretary.

639
00:44:33,010 --> 00:44:36,010
I wish you'd find a girl of your own
class.

640
00:44:37,010 --> 00:44:38,430
Someone you could bring home.

641
00:44:38,790 --> 00:44:40,070
Why can't I bring Gail home?

642
00:44:40,390 --> 00:44:42,990
Because she'd only get ideas, that's
why.

643
00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:45,310
What ideas? This isn't exactly a palace,
ma 'am.

644
00:44:45,530 --> 00:44:47,950
She was a gold digger. She'd probably
run a mile.

645
00:44:54,070 --> 00:44:56,010
I think you're being very selfish.

646
00:44:58,510 --> 00:45:00,990
My blood sugar was all wrong this
morning.

647
00:45:01,730 --> 00:45:05,310
What if I had one of my funny turns?
I'll ask Mrs. Kremble to look in.

648
00:45:05,890 --> 00:45:07,270
What about my guards, Van?

649
00:45:08,710 --> 00:45:09,710
Sorry, I forgot.

650
00:45:09,830 --> 00:45:11,170
Oh, for Christ's sake.

651
00:45:11,610 --> 00:45:13,110
I'll need it for the weekend.

652
00:45:13,510 --> 00:45:15,450
No, I promise I'll ring Bullens
tomorrow.

653
00:45:15,670 --> 00:45:16,850
Don't bloody bother.

654
00:45:17,810 --> 00:45:18,810
I'll do it myself.

655
00:45:25,850 --> 00:45:26,850
Good luck, Stephen.

656
00:45:27,310 --> 00:45:28,650
Bit of a horror story, I'm afraid.

657
00:45:29,590 --> 00:45:30,970
Let's hope I can give it a happy ending.

658
00:45:31,470 --> 00:45:32,990
Happy for the Radfords or us minions?

659
00:45:33,770 --> 00:45:34,770
For us all.

660
00:45:37,330 --> 00:45:38,790
You sure you don't like me to stay
behind?

661
00:45:39,450 --> 00:45:41,770
I know as much about the financial
situation as anybody.

662
00:45:41,990 --> 00:45:42,990
No thanks, Norman.

663
00:45:43,410 --> 00:45:44,870
If I have any questions, I'll call you.

664
00:46:04,460 --> 00:46:06,060
There should be another column, too,
sir.

665
00:46:06,980 --> 00:46:08,300
Headed Farmers.

666
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:10,720
Oh, come on, Lewis.

667
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,140
You think they hired a hitman to knock
off the opposition?

668
00:46:14,580 --> 00:46:16,660
You've been watching too many American
movies.

669
00:46:17,060 --> 00:46:18,520
I meant it's a long shot, sir.

670
00:46:18,820 --> 00:46:22,100
There's a lot of money at stake. They
didn't have to kill Radford.

671
00:46:22,500 --> 00:46:26,440
All they had to do was improve their
bid. Make the family an offer they

672
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:27,440
refuse.

673
00:46:35,020 --> 00:46:36,240
Still trying it on, is he?

674
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:38,740
His thought never stops.

675
00:46:40,780 --> 00:46:42,980
I think you're right about him and
Farmer.

676
00:46:47,260 --> 00:46:50,620
He gave the game away this afternoon.

677
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:54,760
Oh?

678
00:46:55,660 --> 00:47:00,000
Told me I was wasting my time with you,
because after Farmer took over, he'd

679
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,440
still be there, but you wouldn't.

680
00:47:02,990 --> 00:47:05,730
I knew it. I knew that bastard was
feathering his own nest.

681
00:47:06,730 --> 00:47:07,730
So what will you do?

682
00:47:09,570 --> 00:47:10,930
Start looking for another job.

683
00:47:12,250 --> 00:47:13,250
In Oxford?

684
00:47:13,810 --> 00:47:14,810
Yes.

685
00:47:15,450 --> 00:47:17,370
Mum's settled here now. She doesn't want
to move again.

686
00:47:18,590 --> 00:47:20,670
There was enough of an upheaval three
years ago.

687
00:47:21,430 --> 00:47:22,610
It was her idea, though.

688
00:47:23,190 --> 00:47:24,350
She wanted to come south.

689
00:47:24,810 --> 00:47:27,530
Why? Her great -grandad used to live
around here.

690
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,480
the only one in our family that had a
bit of money, so she thought the streets

691
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,120
of Oxford must be paved with gold.

692
00:47:36,660 --> 00:47:37,840
I'd like to meet your mum.

693
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:43,780
I'd really like to see your trains,
Victor.

694
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:02,400
I'm afraid it's worse than we thought.

695
00:48:04,460 --> 00:48:06,060
I think you ought to come over.

696
00:48:06,500 --> 00:48:07,720
No, no, no.

697
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:09,640
You handle it.

698
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,520
Do whatever you have to do.

699
00:48:13,300 --> 00:48:15,300
What I ought to do is go to the police.

700
00:48:17,100 --> 00:48:18,100
Yes, I know.

701
00:48:18,720 --> 00:48:20,480
You mean you knew what Trevor was up to?

702
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:22,960
Yes, Stephen.

703
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,720
And I'm sorry you had to find out.

704
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:12,440
Steven!

705
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:26,880
Same modus operandi.

706
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:33,300
Identical. Different weapon, though.
Something long and flat, like an iron

707
00:52:33,300 --> 00:52:34,300
or something.

708
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,280
Isn't there something you ought to have
told me, Mrs. Wrightfield?

709
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:49,460
We were going to spend the night
together.

710
00:52:51,140 --> 00:52:53,320
When he didn't turn up, I came looking
for him.

711
00:53:00,650 --> 00:53:02,210
I just can't believe it.

712
00:53:03,550 --> 00:53:05,230
That it could happen again.

713
00:53:07,890 --> 00:53:10,070
I tried to break it up with him.

714
00:53:10,290 --> 00:53:11,710
I really tried.

715
00:53:15,550 --> 00:53:17,290
What about your sister -in -law?

716
00:53:19,230 --> 00:53:20,230
She knew.

717
00:53:21,870 --> 00:53:23,610
Only she ever said anything.

718
00:53:24,630 --> 00:53:26,550
Just dropped heavy hits.

719
00:53:28,150 --> 00:53:30,330
No way of getting back at me.

720
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:33,680
Did you call her?

721
00:53:35,700 --> 00:53:37,300
No, I don't.

722
00:53:43,380 --> 00:53:45,660
I suppose you think I'm a bitch.

723
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:50,980
I did try.

724
00:54:37,420 --> 00:54:41,320
You seem to be taking it remarkably
calmly, Mrs. Bradford. Am I?

725
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:52,940
Did you love your husband?

726
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:03,880
You think I married him for all this?

727
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:06,720
That's what his bloody family thinks.

728
00:55:08,810 --> 00:55:10,870
I was his secretary and then I did his
PR.

729
00:55:12,010 --> 00:55:13,390
We spent a lot of time together.

730
00:55:15,290 --> 00:55:16,830
He must have been quite a catch.

731
00:55:18,530 --> 00:55:20,930
It may be difficult to believe,
Inspector, but so was I.

732
00:55:23,110 --> 00:55:24,110
No.

733
00:55:24,850 --> 00:55:26,810
No, I don't find that difficult to
believe.

734
00:55:30,690 --> 00:55:32,110
It's a very physical thing, you see.

735
00:55:32,390 --> 00:55:33,950
We couldn't keep our hands off each
other.

736
00:55:35,530 --> 00:55:36,530
I got pregnant.

737
00:55:39,310 --> 00:55:41,610
And I insisted on him doing the
honourable thing.

738
00:55:42,490 --> 00:55:43,630
So there I was.

739
00:55:45,070 --> 00:55:46,310
A beautiful baby.

740
00:55:46,690 --> 00:55:47,690
Married.

741
00:55:48,150 --> 00:55:49,150
Until death us.

742
00:55:57,230 --> 00:55:58,930
Oh, God, I'm sorry.

743
00:55:59,470 --> 00:56:02,310
I didn't mean... No, not at all.

744
00:56:04,270 --> 00:56:08,510
You see, marriage brings you down to
earth as such a bump.

745
00:56:09,900 --> 00:56:11,660
I expect you know all about that.

746
00:56:12,940 --> 00:56:14,640
Have you managed to keep your illusions?

747
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:19,080
I've never put it to the test.

748
00:56:20,660 --> 00:56:21,660
The bachelor?

749
00:56:25,580 --> 00:56:26,580
Really?

750
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:29,840
Extraordinary.

751
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:35,840
The bachelor gay, am I?

752
00:56:36,620 --> 00:56:38,060
How does that song go?

753
00:56:38,490 --> 00:56:39,490
Do you?

754
00:56:40,830 --> 00:56:42,810
Though I suffer from Cupid's dart.

755
00:56:43,150 --> 00:56:44,150
Right.

756
00:56:45,250 --> 00:56:46,690
You look the faithful type.

757
00:56:47,010 --> 00:56:48,750
One woman at a time, man.

758
00:56:49,950 --> 00:56:50,950
Do I?

759
00:56:52,010 --> 00:56:53,010
You do.

760
00:56:55,370 --> 00:56:56,450
Quite a catch.

761
00:56:58,810 --> 00:57:00,430
And Stephen wasn't?

762
00:57:00,650 --> 00:57:06,390
What? A one woman at a... A one woman
man.

763
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,180
I see and learn I didn't have exclusive
rights.

764
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:17,220
There were lots of women before Miss
Horse of the Year show.

765
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:19,640
So you knew about Helen?

766
00:57:21,700 --> 00:57:23,160
Of course I knew about Helen.

767
00:57:24,020 --> 00:57:25,400
I knew about all of them.

768
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:27,460
And how did you feel?

769
00:57:27,780 --> 00:57:29,040
How do you think I felt?

770
00:57:29,540 --> 00:57:31,960
As with a physical relationship, take
that away.

771
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,580
I knew it would happen one day.

772
00:57:38,900 --> 00:57:39,900
And I...

773
00:57:39,930 --> 00:57:44,450
fat and middle -aged, but I've been a
pretty good Nick, wouldn't you say?

774
00:57:47,990 --> 00:57:49,390
Of course, I felt disappointed.

775
00:57:54,050 --> 00:57:55,610
Why didn't you divorce him?

776
00:57:57,830 --> 00:57:59,170
Don't think I haven't thought that.

777
00:58:01,170 --> 00:58:02,210
Well, what the hell?

778
00:58:02,590 --> 00:58:03,970
I'd lose more than I'd gain.

779
00:58:04,470 --> 00:58:07,850
I mean, I've got the Radford name. The
bank manager loves that beautiful house.

780
00:58:08,750 --> 00:58:09,830
Two wonderful children.

781
00:58:11,370 --> 00:58:12,670
I'll settle for that.

782
00:58:21,910 --> 00:58:25,550
Where were you last night between 8 .30
and 10?

783
00:58:28,250 --> 00:58:29,250
Singing.

784
00:58:34,710 --> 00:58:35,710
Singing?

785
00:58:36,390 --> 00:58:37,810
The local operatic.

786
00:58:40,740 --> 00:58:42,460
Oh, you're doing La Traviata.

787
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:44,280
That's right.

788
00:58:46,020 --> 00:58:47,420
You're playing Violetta?

789
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:49,240
No.

790
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:51,220
No, I'm just a member of the choir.

791
00:58:56,380 --> 00:58:57,380
See you, ma 'am.

792
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,920
Thank you, dear.

793
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:05,720
Did you have a good time last night?

794
00:59:06,260 --> 00:59:07,260
Yes, ma 'am.

795
00:59:08,910 --> 00:59:10,310
How are you sleeping with her?

796
00:59:11,050 --> 00:59:13,630
What? The girl, has she got a flat?

797
00:59:14,470 --> 00:59:16,750
A room of her own. She lives with her
parents.

798
00:59:17,210 --> 00:59:18,950
Did she ask you back last night?

799
00:59:20,430 --> 00:59:21,990
Drink your tea while it's hot, Mum.

800
00:59:24,530 --> 00:59:26,190
Oh, no trouble was cooking the books.

801
00:59:27,370 --> 00:59:28,870
Maybe Stephen was in on it.

802
00:59:29,610 --> 00:59:31,970
Maybe our murderer found out.

803
00:59:34,180 --> 00:59:37,920
You don't kill someone because they're
cooking the book, Lewis. All you have to

804
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:39,160
do is expose him.

805
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:43,740
But it can't be a coincidence it's all
blown up now, just after a farmer's

806
00:59:43,740 --> 00:59:44,740
offer.

807
00:59:44,980 --> 00:59:46,720
I think we should have a talk with the
farmers.

808
00:59:47,100 --> 00:59:50,840
I'll do that. I want you to go back to
Radford's, re -interview all the

809
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:52,760
employees, check their alibis.

810
00:59:53,420 --> 00:59:54,420
Right.

811
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:59,020
I'm going to have a couple of hours of
sleep and then go and see the parents.

812
01:00:00,860 --> 01:00:01,860
They'll be shipped out.

813
01:00:04,170 --> 01:00:06,590
It'd be terrible if they lose both
thumbs in the same week.

814
01:00:09,530 --> 01:00:10,770
I'm sure they'll survive.

815
01:00:14,110 --> 01:00:15,650
You don't like that family, do you?

816
01:00:16,710 --> 01:00:18,510
Looks like I'm not the only one.

817
01:00:18,810 --> 01:00:23,190
But when you're at the brewery, find out
if they've sacked anyone lately.

818
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:36,799
Morning, Shelley.

819
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:37,800
Morning.

820
01:00:37,980 --> 01:00:39,520
I suppose you've heard the news.

821
01:00:39,900 --> 01:00:43,120
News? There's been another murder at
Radford's Brewery.

822
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:45,460
What? I heard it on the car radio.

823
01:00:46,020 --> 01:00:48,760
It's the brother, the one who started
the electronics firm.

824
01:00:49,260 --> 01:00:50,260
Good God.

825
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:52,120
Makes you wonder who'll be next, doesn't
it?

826
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:02,640
Shelley?

827
01:01:03,850 --> 01:01:05,750
Cancel my appointments for this
afternoon, would you?

828
01:01:06,390 --> 01:01:07,390
I have to go out.

829
01:01:13,730 --> 01:01:15,570
Chief Inspector Morse, madam.

830
01:01:22,370 --> 01:01:23,370
Can't this wait?

831
01:01:23,530 --> 01:01:26,550
I'm afraid not, Mrs. Radford. It's
possible you may be in danger.

832
01:01:27,230 --> 01:01:28,230
Danger?

833
01:01:28,530 --> 01:01:30,870
You mean I'm next on the list? Or your
husband.

834
01:01:31,070 --> 01:01:32,670
Anyone connected with the brewery.

835
01:01:33,690 --> 01:01:37,210
Please keep your voice down, Inspector.
It's some sort of threat. I don't want

836
01:01:37,210 --> 01:01:38,210
him to know about it.

837
01:01:38,590 --> 01:01:40,370
He's had enough shock for one week.

838
01:01:42,430 --> 01:01:43,990
May I sit down? Do.

839
01:01:50,510 --> 01:01:54,410
Has the family any enemies that you know
of?

840
01:01:55,390 --> 01:01:57,570
What on earth is going on?

841
01:01:57,850 --> 01:01:59,990
It's nothing important, dear. I'll deal
with it.

842
01:02:05,390 --> 01:02:06,390
Enemies?

843
01:02:07,170 --> 01:02:10,830
Someone whose toes you've trodden on.
Someone with a grudge.

844
01:02:11,090 --> 01:02:14,830
I expect a lot of people have grudges
against us. We're well off.

845
01:02:15,190 --> 01:02:17,650
We have an extremely successful
business.

846
01:02:18,710 --> 01:02:23,610
If it was so successful, why did Trevor
have to borrow a million pounds from the

847
01:02:23,610 --> 01:02:24,610
bank?

848
01:02:25,690 --> 01:02:31,050
I've talked to the bank manager. It was
three years ago, just after the

849
01:02:31,050 --> 01:02:32,590
revaluation of your assets.

850
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:43,620
Charles. Why?

851
01:02:43,940 --> 01:02:45,520
Did you know about this?

852
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:50,960
Why? That Trevor took out a million
pound loan three years ago.

853
01:02:51,780 --> 01:02:54,300
Yes. And he didn't pay it back.

854
01:02:57,100 --> 01:02:58,740
No, he did not.

855
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:02,640
Well, that settles it. We shall have to
sell.

856
01:03:07,980 --> 01:03:11,140
Look, Sergeant, I realise you've got a
job to do, but we're fighting for

857
01:03:11,140 --> 01:03:14,300
survival at the moment. One more day's
loss of production will be very

858
01:03:14,540 --> 01:03:15,960
We'll be as quick as we can, sir.

859
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:17,840
And we'll start with you, shall we?

860
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:20,300
Now, where were you last night?

861
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:22,000
At home.

862
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:23,080
All evening?

863
01:03:23,380 --> 01:03:24,380
Yes.

864
01:03:24,900 --> 01:03:26,800
And your wife will confirm that, will
she?

865
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:32,160
No.

866
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:33,540
I'm afraid she can't.

867
01:03:34,660 --> 01:03:35,920
It was her bridge night.

868
01:03:38,090 --> 01:03:40,250
You'd have left her long ago if you
hadn't been for the children.

869
01:03:40,650 --> 01:03:42,990
They're my only grandchildren, you know,
Inspector.

870
01:03:45,170 --> 01:03:49,770
And now... they're both my son and
daughter.

871
01:03:52,170 --> 01:03:57,610
Thelma tells me that she knew all about
her husband's affairs and she didn't

872
01:03:57,610 --> 01:03:58,610
care.

873
01:03:59,110 --> 01:04:00,310
Is that what she said?

874
01:04:01,370 --> 01:04:04,830
I think you'll find she cares very much
about anything that threatens her

875
01:04:04,830 --> 01:04:05,830
security.

876
01:04:06,990 --> 01:04:08,150
And you don't blame Helen?

877
01:04:09,070 --> 01:04:12,710
Accidents will happen, even in the best
regulated families.

878
01:04:13,870 --> 01:04:14,870
Mr. Macorber.

879
01:04:15,210 --> 01:04:18,090
Oh, I thought it was W .C. Fields.

880
01:04:19,930 --> 01:04:21,950
Anyway, I'm very fond of Helen.

881
01:04:23,130 --> 01:04:25,770
This doesn't have to become public
knowledge, does it?

882
01:04:27,070 --> 01:04:29,870
It depends on whether it has a bearing
on the case.

883
01:04:30,290 --> 01:04:31,690
Of course it hasn't.

884
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:53,560
Mrs. Preece?

885
01:04:53,740 --> 01:04:55,160
Yes. Police.

886
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:09,940
It's about the murder at the brewery.

887
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:11,860
Murderers. Plural.

888
01:05:12,180 --> 01:05:14,840
What? There's been another one. Last
night.

889
01:05:15,100 --> 01:05:16,360
Mr. Radford's brother.

890
01:05:17,279 --> 01:05:20,440
We're rechecking everybody that works
there. May I come in? If you're checking

891
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,620
up on Victor, he was out to dinner last
night with a girlfriend.

892
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:23,920
I know.

893
01:05:24,340 --> 01:05:25,960
What time did he arrive back?

894
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:27,200
Not late.

895
01:05:28,020 --> 01:05:31,180
What about three nights ago, the night
Trevor Radford was killed? I told you

896
01:05:31,180 --> 01:05:33,420
that on the telephone. He was here the
whole evening.

897
01:05:34,740 --> 01:05:37,840
Perhaps we could talk about exactly what
time he got back.

898
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:41,800
I had no idea things were so bad. Why
didn't you tell me?

899
01:05:42,380 --> 01:05:43,620
I didn't want to worry you.

900
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,700
I'm a shareholder, Charles. I have a
right to know.

901
01:05:46,980 --> 01:05:48,760
He specifically asked me not to tell
you.

902
01:05:49,420 --> 01:05:50,860
Why did he need the money?

903
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:52,240
Expansion.

904
01:05:52,580 --> 01:05:56,100
Expansion? Yes, he said he wanted to buy
more tied houses. He said it would

905
01:05:56,100 --> 01:05:57,240
ensure our survival.

906
01:05:57,460 --> 01:06:00,280
That should have been a board decision.
He didn't think he could get it through

907
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:02,660
the board. That's why he took out a
personal loan.

908
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:04,240
For a million pounds?

909
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:06,640
But he didn't have the security.

910
01:06:07,660 --> 01:06:08,660
No.

911
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:10,920
No, I guaranteed it.

912
01:06:14,060 --> 01:06:16,460
You mean you mortgaged the house?

913
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:24,540
Yes. You fool! You bloody old fool! He
assured me that he'd pay it back within

914
01:06:24,540 --> 01:06:26,160
five years. You'd never have known.

915
01:06:26,380 --> 01:06:28,880
We must bring forward the board meeting
to this afternoon.

916
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:31,680
Oh, my heavens! Say, is it?

917
01:06:31,900 --> 01:06:34,700
At least let's wait until we bury them.
No.

918
01:06:35,420 --> 01:06:37,700
This business has gone on long enough.

919
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:40,880
We must make a decision before the
weekend.

920
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:47,320
How well do you know the Radford family,
George?

921
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:50,700
Charles and my father are quite close
friends.

922
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:53,840
Then why are you trying to buy the
brewery on the cheap?

923
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:55,520
Come on, Malt.

924
01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:58,440
We made a perfectly fair offer.

925
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:00,280
Based on your own valuation?

926
01:07:00,780 --> 01:07:04,800
Of course. Which doesn't seem to bear
any relation to the Radford valuation.

927
01:07:05,340 --> 01:07:08,600
Well, we shall have to see, won't we?

928
01:07:09,100 --> 01:07:10,940
Our surveyors are usually pretty good.

929
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:13,100
I think you'll find they'll accept.

930
01:07:13,780 --> 01:07:14,780
Especially now.

931
01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:19,600
Look, it's a terrible tragedy. Of course
it is, but it makes no difference.

932
01:07:19,860 --> 01:07:21,880
We put in our offer nearly three weeks
ago.

933
01:07:22,180 --> 01:07:24,240
And business is business. I'm afraid so.

934
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:26,900
One's first duty is to one's
shareholders.

935
01:07:27,780 --> 01:07:31,520
Is that why you approached Norman Weeks?
Offered to make him managing director

936
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:32,800
if your bid was successful.

937
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:35,680
Who told you that? Is it true?

938
01:07:40,220 --> 01:07:42,900
You know Trevor Radford wanted to reject
your offer.

939
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:44,360
Yes, Charles told me.

940
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:46,660
Why was the offer so low?

941
01:07:49,860 --> 01:07:52,560
I'm sorry, Morse. I don't quite see
where this is leading.

942
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:58,820
Would you like to confirm where you were
last night, George?

943
01:08:00,180 --> 01:08:01,380
I was in the theatre.

944
01:08:03,140 --> 01:08:05,000
The local operatic society.

945
01:08:06,820 --> 01:08:09,380
Of which I am patron.

946
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:12,160
I was with my wife.

947
01:08:13,230 --> 01:08:14,870
and several friends.

948
01:08:42,470 --> 01:08:44,270
Oh? Are you sleeping with him?

949
01:08:44,609 --> 01:08:46,149
Well, that's none of your business.

950
01:08:46,649 --> 01:08:47,649
I'm sorry.

951
01:08:48,090 --> 01:08:49,270
I have to know.

952
01:08:49,510 --> 01:08:53,410
Why? You invited him home last night,
didn't you? After your dinner.

953
01:08:53,710 --> 01:08:56,670
Look, why don't you ask Vic? I did. He
wouldn't tell me.

954
01:08:56,970 --> 01:08:58,649
Well, I'm not going to tell you either.

955
01:08:58,990 --> 01:09:00,229
You stupid little tart.

956
01:09:00,770 --> 01:09:02,529
Why can't you leave him alone?

957
01:09:18,470 --> 01:09:24,649
Yes, well, you all know why you're here,
so I'll throw the meeting open to

958
01:09:24,649 --> 01:09:28,750
discussion. There's no time for
discussion, Charles. We're in no

959
01:09:28,750 --> 01:09:31,630
refuse farmer's offer. It's the only one
we're likely to get.

960
01:09:31,850 --> 01:09:34,270
But it's a quarter of what the company's
worth, Isabel.

961
01:09:34,590 --> 01:09:36,270
We can't let it go at this price.

962
01:09:36,510 --> 01:09:37,510
We've no choice, dear.

963
01:09:37,729 --> 01:09:39,130
Of course we have a choice.

964
01:09:39,550 --> 01:09:42,630
If farmers won't increase their offer,
we should reject it.

965
01:09:43,410 --> 01:09:46,609
I know that's what Trevor would have
done. I'd leave Trevor out of this if I

966
01:09:46,609 --> 01:09:47,870
were you in view of his record.

967
01:09:48,350 --> 01:09:50,130
At least he accepted his
responsibilities.

968
01:09:51,630 --> 01:09:53,270
But he didn't refuse them.

969
01:09:53,830 --> 01:09:55,890
It's too late for recriminations.

970
01:09:56,270 --> 01:09:58,090
Well, I know how Stephen would have
voted anyway.

971
01:09:58,350 --> 01:10:00,170
That's why I'm pledging his shares for
acceptance.

972
01:10:00,730 --> 01:10:02,850
Are you sure he left them to you? Oh,
yes.

973
01:10:03,070 --> 01:10:04,170
I spoke to the solicitor.

974
01:10:05,950 --> 01:10:08,390
Well, it's an ill wind, I suppose.

975
01:10:09,310 --> 01:10:10,350
I checked too.

976
01:10:10,930 --> 01:10:13,370
It seems I'm the sole beneficiary of
Trevor's will.

977
01:10:13,770 --> 01:10:15,790
So the least I can do is follow his
wishes.

978
01:10:16,970 --> 01:10:18,030
I vote for rejection.

979
01:10:19,950 --> 01:10:20,950
Norman?

980
01:10:24,170 --> 01:10:26,650
I'm on this board as a representative of
the workforce.

981
01:10:27,710 --> 01:10:31,590
So I must vote for a future which
guarantees continuity of employment.

982
01:10:32,430 --> 01:10:35,050
And that future, in my opinion, lies
with farmers.

983
01:10:35,990 --> 01:10:37,010
So I'm for acceptance.

984
01:10:37,610 --> 01:10:39,730
Well, Charles and I also vote to accept.

985
01:10:39,950 --> 01:10:43,750
And together with Thelma's shares...
Just a moment, please.

986
01:10:44,890 --> 01:10:46,250
Just a moment. Just a moment.

987
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:54,240
I blame myself for the trouble we're in.

988
01:10:56,180 --> 01:11:00,880
I retired too early, and I recommended
Trevor to take my place. They were bad

989
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:05,340
decisions, both of them for which I
apologise to the board, but I do not

990
01:11:05,340 --> 01:11:06,700
them to be irredeemable.

991
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:09,080
What are you talking about, Charles?

992
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:16,080
I've been searching my conscience these
last terrible days, and I

993
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:19,680
can't agree to this sale.

994
01:11:20,170 --> 01:11:25,810
Not after a century and a half of
continuous family control. My ancestors

995
01:11:25,810 --> 01:11:29,970
turned in their graves and I could never
sleep peacefully in mine. What's the

996
01:11:29,970 --> 01:11:33,450
point of holding on to the brewery now?
We've no need of it.

997
01:11:34,050 --> 01:11:35,690
We have grandchildren.

998
01:11:36,570 --> 01:11:40,690
And in 20 years' time... In 20 years,
there'll be nothing to leave!

999
01:11:41,890 --> 01:11:43,510
Except massive debts.

1000
01:11:52,749 --> 01:11:54,830
Norman, can I ask you something?

1001
01:11:55,990 --> 01:11:58,930
Do you believe the company can be turned
round?

1002
01:12:01,410 --> 01:12:07,210
Well, not without a complete
reorganisation of the sales and

1003
01:12:07,210 --> 01:12:08,210
departments.

1004
01:12:08,990 --> 01:12:10,070
Could you do it?

1005
01:12:10,530 --> 01:12:13,030
Me? Yes, if we gave you a free hand.

1006
01:12:13,450 --> 01:12:15,930
Could you save the brewery?

1007
01:12:20,430 --> 01:12:21,810
Yes, Mr. Radford.

1008
01:12:24,890 --> 01:12:26,350
I believe I could.

1009
01:12:29,070 --> 01:12:35,310
Then I propose we appoint Norman as the
new managing director and

1010
01:12:35,310 --> 01:12:37,930
reject Farmer's offer.

1011
01:12:38,210 --> 01:12:39,210
No!

1012
01:12:40,670 --> 01:12:44,490
This is our last chance to liquidate our
assets.

1013
01:12:45,290 --> 01:12:47,950
If we don't accept this offer, we'll
have nothing.

1014
01:12:49,450 --> 01:12:50,970
Not even a decent pension.

1015
01:12:58,270 --> 01:12:59,950
I've lost two sons.

1016
01:13:00,690 --> 01:13:06,570
And I'm damned if I'm going to spend an
impoverished old age just because your

1017
01:13:06,570 --> 01:13:09,210
bloody ancestors might turn in their
graves.

1018
01:13:11,070 --> 01:13:14,010
It's the living you should care about,
Charles.

1019
01:13:25,900 --> 01:13:27,220
I suggest we take a vote.

1020
01:13:30,380 --> 01:13:31,400
Who's for acceptance?

1021
01:13:37,500 --> 01:13:40,180
420 ,000 shares.

1022
01:13:41,900 --> 01:13:42,900
And for rejection?

1023
01:13:56,100 --> 01:13:57,540
580 ,000.

1024
01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:04,840
So.

1025
01:14:07,020 --> 01:14:08,460
We carry on.

1026
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:19,800
Isabel!

1027
01:14:21,480 --> 01:14:22,480
Isabel!

1028
01:14:58,280 --> 01:14:59,860
they have telephones in your
neighborhood?

1029
01:15:00,540 --> 01:15:01,920
I did ring, sir.

1030
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:03,760
Several times.

1031
01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:05,980
Don't hear the damn thing out here
anyway.

1032
01:15:07,700 --> 01:15:08,880
It's been another murder.

1033
01:15:09,820 --> 01:15:13,420
I hope it's that landlord from the crock
and bullfinch teaching to keep his beer

1034
01:15:13,420 --> 01:15:14,420
properly.

1035
01:15:18,480 --> 01:15:19,480
Brewing?

1036
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:20,960
No, sir.

1037
01:15:22,980 --> 01:15:24,720
Not our problem, then.

1038
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:27,520
I'm afraid it is, sir.

1039
01:15:28,170 --> 01:15:30,070
Oh, that's official, is it? Yeah.

1040
01:15:31,090 --> 01:15:34,750
Chief Super thinks there could be a
connection with the brewery murders, so

1041
01:15:34,750 --> 01:15:35,890
giving us first crack at it.

1042
01:15:38,190 --> 01:15:39,670
That's very generous of him.

1043
01:15:41,170 --> 01:15:44,030
Put that wheel on, will you, Lewis? I'm
just going to wash my hands.

1044
01:15:58,060 --> 01:16:01,420
It blows to the body as well as the
front and the back of the head. It

1045
01:16:01,420 --> 01:16:02,540
completely shatter the skull.

1046
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:05,700
Any forensic connection with the brewery
murders?

1047
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:07,820
No. This is different.

1048
01:16:08,260 --> 01:16:09,800
Because it's messy. Right.

1049
01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:11,660
It took several blows to kill him.

1050
01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:18,320
Looks like you tried to phone for help.

1051
01:16:20,140 --> 01:16:21,840
I've never seen anything like this
attack.

1052
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:23,800
It was frenzied.

1053
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:24,999
Desperate, then?

1054
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:26,000
Our killer?

1055
01:16:27,020 --> 01:16:28,420
You have a theory, Lewis.

1056
01:16:30,100 --> 01:16:33,300
Well, the brewery murders were
premeditated, weren't they?

1057
01:16:39,100 --> 01:16:40,100
Single blows.

1058
01:16:41,220 --> 01:16:43,160
Victims taken by surprise each time.

1059
01:16:44,940 --> 01:16:47,480
Whereas this... Oh, look.

1060
01:16:47,740 --> 01:16:49,240
I can see, Lewis.

1061
01:16:51,300 --> 01:16:52,300
Desperate.

1062
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:53,920
No.

1063
01:16:57,420 --> 01:17:00,100
Now, I think we're looking for two
different killers.

1064
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:04,440
All right, take him away.

1065
01:17:04,940 --> 01:17:05,940
Hang on a minute.

1066
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:14,640
I'm sure... I've seen this bloke
somewhere before.

1067
01:17:15,540 --> 01:17:16,540
Where?

1068
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:18,200
No idea.

1069
01:17:19,380 --> 01:17:22,000
But his face is definitely familiar.
Come and look, sir.

1070
01:17:22,440 --> 01:17:23,840
I'll take your word for it.

1071
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:26,880
You don't look to the afternoon, do you?

1072
01:17:27,130 --> 01:17:29,490
And then he came back and had a late
appointment.

1073
01:17:29,850 --> 01:17:31,250
Who was it? Some woman.

1074
01:17:31,670 --> 01:17:34,510
She didn't give her name. Said he'd know
who it was.

1075
01:17:35,330 --> 01:17:37,050
When was this appointment arranged?

1076
01:17:37,810 --> 01:17:41,190
She phoned yesterday afternoon, just
before I left.

1077
01:17:42,130 --> 01:17:43,770
What exactly did she say?

1078
01:17:44,770 --> 01:17:47,690
She said she wanted to see Mr Nelson.
No, no, no.

1079
01:17:47,890 --> 01:17:50,490
What exactly did she say? Exactly.

1080
01:17:51,890 --> 01:17:54,030
Well, let me think.

1081
01:17:54,510 --> 01:17:55,510
She said...

1082
01:17:56,010 --> 01:17:59,610
Something like, would you ask Mr.

1083
01:17:59,870 --> 01:18:01,610
Nelson to remain at the office?

1084
01:18:02,150 --> 01:18:04,550
I shall be arriving just after six.

1085
01:18:05,050 --> 01:18:06,510
May I see that, please?

1086
01:18:09,510 --> 01:18:13,370
Just a few cancelled appointments
yesterday afternoon.

1087
01:18:16,950 --> 01:18:20,750
Two appointments the day before that.

1088
01:18:27,020 --> 01:18:28,020
the day before.

1089
01:18:32,180 --> 01:18:34,740
Do you have a client named Knox?

1090
01:18:35,220 --> 01:18:36,220
Knox?

1091
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:37,900
Never heard of him.

1092
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:39,240
Or her.

1093
01:18:39,300 --> 01:18:40,300
Or her.

1094
01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:43,840
Thank you.

1095
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:51,800
Lewis, go over to the county records
office. See if you can find out what

1096
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:52,800
was interested in.

1097
01:18:56,460 --> 01:18:58,320
Thank you. He's been very helpful.

1098
01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:00,740
And the main news headlines at 10 o
'clock.

1099
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:05,660
Alfred Nelson, a 45 -year -old
solicitor, was found battered to death

1100
01:19:05,660 --> 01:19:06,880
Aldgate's office this morning.

1101
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:11,460
According to Chief Inspector Morse of
the Thames Valley CID, the attack took

1102
01:19:11,460 --> 01:19:12,700
place early yesterday evening.

1103
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:16,940
He's appealing for anyone who was in the
vicinity of St Aldgate's between 6 and

1104
01:19:16,940 --> 01:19:19,740
7pm to come forward if they saw anything
suspicious.

1105
01:21:16,590 --> 01:21:17,590
Where have you been all day?

1106
01:21:18,170 --> 01:21:20,290
You know exactly where I've been, sir.

1107
01:21:21,070 --> 01:21:22,570
The county records office.

1108
01:21:29,850 --> 01:21:31,370
What took so long?

1109
01:21:32,070 --> 01:21:34,690
Long? You should have seen the papers.

1110
01:21:34,950 --> 01:21:37,850
They've got half the Amazon rainforest
in there. Papers?

1111
01:21:38,090 --> 01:21:40,350
At the county records office? That's
amazing.

1112
01:21:43,650 --> 01:21:45,630
And none of them were catalogued.

1113
01:21:46,440 --> 01:21:48,380
If I hadn't got lucky, I'd have been
there all week.

1114
01:21:53,100 --> 01:21:54,260
Have a beer, Lewis.

1115
01:21:59,220 --> 01:22:00,700
So you did get lucky.

1116
01:22:02,260 --> 01:22:03,260
Ebenezer Knox.

1117
01:22:03,900 --> 01:22:06,580
Born 1813 in Woodstock.

1118
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:10,020
Educated at Winchester and Balliol.

1119
01:22:13,660 --> 01:22:15,700
Became the youngest justice of the
people in the county.

1120
01:22:16,780 --> 01:22:19,400
Then in 1841, he and another man bought
a piece of land.

1121
01:22:19,860 --> 01:22:21,680
You never guessed what the other man's
name was.

1122
01:22:23,140 --> 01:22:24,140
Rattard.

1123
01:22:24,440 --> 01:22:25,440
Righty.

1124
01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:30,080
Three murders in a week, Lewis.

1125
01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:33,500
The chief super was right. There could
be a connection.

1126
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:37,120
But the pathologists thought there was
no connection with Nelson's murder.

1127
01:22:37,580 --> 01:22:38,880
You're not listening, Lewis.

1128
01:22:40,260 --> 01:22:43,580
Even if we're looking for two killers,
they could still be connected.

1129
01:22:45,770 --> 01:22:46,770
Well, you're right, Lee.

1130
01:22:47,350 --> 01:22:49,550
Knox's partner's name was Timothy
Radford.

1131
01:22:49,770 --> 01:22:51,810
Radford and Knox started the brewery.

1132
01:22:52,070 --> 01:22:54,610
Is there any evidence Radford bought
Knox out?

1133
01:22:54,930 --> 01:22:55,930
No.

1134
01:22:57,290 --> 01:22:58,290
No.

1135
01:23:10,350 --> 01:23:12,050
He caught the bastard?

1136
01:23:12,350 --> 01:23:13,350
Not yet.

1137
01:23:19,180 --> 01:23:20,180
Talk to my wife?

1138
01:23:20,300 --> 01:23:21,300
No.

1139
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:23,100
It's you I came to see.

1140
01:23:27,500 --> 01:23:29,360
Tell me about Ebenezer Knox.

1141
01:23:31,740 --> 01:23:32,740
What?

1142
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:38,240
Ebenezer Knox.

1143
01:23:38,720 --> 01:23:41,400
Where on earth did you dig him up?

1144
01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:43,260
County Records Office.

1145
01:23:44,140 --> 01:23:48,820
He was your great -grandfather's
original partner, and I think he's the

1146
01:23:48,820 --> 01:23:53,240
all this. He died more than a hundred
years ago. Yes, yes, but not in Oxford.

1147
01:23:55,340 --> 01:23:58,760
He seems to have been a very prominent
citizen, but there's no record of him

1148
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:01,580
after 1850 when he sold his house in
Woodstock.

1149
01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:07,100
And there's no evidence he ever sold his
half share in the brewery. No, not

1150
01:24:07,100 --> 01:24:08,100
sold.

1151
01:24:08,480 --> 01:24:10,740
But he certainly agreed to relinquish
it.

1152
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:17,920
You know all about this, don't you?

1153
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:34,700
Family archives?

1154
01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:38,820
Well, just as my father left them.

1155
01:24:56,769 --> 01:24:59,390
I'm sorry about the dust. I haven't been
down here for years.

1156
01:25:14,250 --> 01:25:21,010
To whom it may concern, I, the
undersigned, hereby do solemnly

1157
01:25:21,010 --> 01:25:27,930
and humbly swear to leave the city of
Oxford forthwith and never return, and

1158
01:25:27,930 --> 01:25:34,910
that in exchange, Timothy Radford of
Marston Lodge, Oxford, will provide

1159
01:25:34,910 --> 01:25:41,850
me with the sum of 100 pounds each and
every year for so long as I shall live.

1160
01:25:42,850 --> 01:25:44,230
Signed Ebenezer Knox.

1161
01:25:44,790 --> 01:25:46,330
It doesn't explain why.

1162
01:25:47,490 --> 01:25:52,970
No, but... This does.

1163
01:25:54,410 --> 01:25:56,470
Look at the names of the parents.

1164
01:26:03,870 --> 01:26:06,990
Ebenezer Knox, Margaret Fordham. Who was
she?

1165
01:26:07,210 --> 01:26:10,970
A woman of the streets. There's a
newspaper cutting here.

1166
01:26:12,330 --> 01:26:16,710
Oxford woman found guilty of vagrancy
and prostitution.

1167
01:26:17,490 --> 01:26:20,310
Third offence, jail for one year.

1168
01:26:21,250 --> 01:26:24,370
So Knox left Oxford to avoid a scandal.

1169
01:26:26,130 --> 01:26:27,550
The date fits.

1170
01:26:27,950 --> 01:26:31,310
The birth was registered in 1850. Where
did he go?

1171
01:26:32,990 --> 01:26:36,650
Somewhere in the northeast, I believe.
He doesn't specify.

1172
01:26:37,740 --> 01:26:42,040
According to this document, Knox agreed
never to return to Oxford.

1173
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:47,880
But he didn't agree to give up his half
share in the brewery.

1174
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:51,960
North East, you say?

1175
01:26:53,700 --> 01:26:54,700
1850 -ish.

1176
01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:56,800
Ebenezer Knox.

1177
01:26:57,040 --> 01:26:59,780
Seems he cut quite a dash when he first
came to Sunderland.

1178
01:27:00,500 --> 01:27:02,780
Flashy height, bender with a posh
southern accent.

1179
01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:05,600
He started another brewery with a blog
called Beddow.

1180
01:27:06,390 --> 01:27:07,390
Come into the office.

1181
01:27:08,990 --> 01:27:12,030
Neither of them could have been much
good at business. They pretty quickly

1182
01:27:12,030 --> 01:27:13,030
down the tube.

1183
01:27:13,610 --> 01:27:15,150
Beddow's son bought them out in the end.

1184
01:27:16,370 --> 01:27:17,950
Where did all this come from?

1185
01:27:18,430 --> 01:27:19,470
An old mate of mine, sir.

1186
01:27:19,870 --> 01:27:21,730
In the history department at Newcastle
University.

1187
01:27:22,530 --> 01:27:26,450
There's a professor there. Just written
a book, Drink and Sobriety in the

1188
01:27:26,450 --> 01:27:27,490
Victorian North East.

1189
01:27:27,890 --> 01:27:28,890
You're all about Knox.

1190
01:27:29,930 --> 01:27:31,930
I've already got this from Lineker's
computer.

1191
01:27:32,570 --> 01:27:34,270
Ah, but that's not all, sir. Not quite.

1192
01:27:34,830 --> 01:27:39,710
In 1852, Knox married a local girl. And
they had a daughter who married a man

1193
01:27:39,710 --> 01:27:40,710
named Preece.

1194
01:27:41,190 --> 01:27:42,190
Ah.

1195
01:27:42,970 --> 01:27:43,970
Interesting, eh?

1196
01:27:44,130 --> 01:27:47,670
And then I suddenly remembered where I'd
seen that solicitor fella, Nelson,

1197
01:27:47,730 --> 01:27:48,730
before.

1198
01:27:55,770 --> 01:27:58,110
What a pair they must have been.

1199
01:27:58,750 --> 01:28:01,170
Who? Knox and Radford.

1200
01:28:01,410 --> 01:28:04,110
One of them a hypocrite, the other a
blackmailer.

1201
01:28:05,570 --> 01:28:08,250
Blackmail? Knox was a justice of the
peace.

1202
01:28:08,710 --> 01:28:10,370
A pillar of the community.

1203
01:28:11,010 --> 01:28:16,070
So when a convicted prostitute gave
birth to his child, she took the birth

1204
01:28:16,070 --> 01:28:17,250
certificate to Radford.

1205
01:28:18,010 --> 01:28:23,350
Radford probably paid her off and
blackmailed Knox into leaving Oxford.

1206
01:28:24,110 --> 01:28:27,450
Made him sign a letter promising never
to return.

1207
01:28:43,980 --> 01:28:45,520
Did Rodford ever give him back his
share?

1208
01:28:45,820 --> 01:28:49,280
No. Gave him £100 a year of pittance.

1209
01:28:51,220 --> 01:28:54,480
So, technically, half the brewery still
belongs to Knox's heirs.

1210
01:28:54,780 --> 01:28:56,360
Not just technically, Lewis.

1211
01:28:56,800 --> 01:28:57,800
Legally.

1212
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:03,500
Can we come in, Mrs P?

1213
01:29:13,710 --> 01:29:14,890
Where's Victor, Mrs Preece?

1214
01:29:16,190 --> 01:29:18,970
Upstairs. Could you ask him to come
down, please? Why?

1215
01:29:22,590 --> 01:29:24,870
I think you know why, Mrs Preece.

1216
01:29:25,090 --> 01:29:27,250
He couldn't have done those murders. He
was out with a girlfriend.

1217
01:29:27,650 --> 01:29:31,470
We've talked to her. On both nights, he
left her around nine o 'clock. And came

1218
01:29:31,470 --> 01:29:32,470
straight home?

1219
01:29:33,690 --> 01:29:37,950
I don't believe you, Mrs Preece. I think
you've been covering up for him.

1220
01:30:02,700 --> 01:30:04,060
She should never have told him.

1221
01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:07,320
About your claim on the brewery?

1222
01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:11,400
That he'd been swindled out of his
inheritance.

1223
01:30:15,940 --> 01:30:18,580
That's a dangerous thing to tell a
little boy.

1224
01:30:23,340 --> 01:30:27,840
Especially a little boy who keeps his
feelings

1225
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:31,320
bottled up all the time.

1226
01:30:33,130 --> 01:30:35,430
But it was you who persuaded him to come
here.

1227
01:30:36,170 --> 01:30:38,770
To apply for the job at Radford's.

1228
01:30:39,150 --> 01:30:42,250
But he had the qualifications and we
needed the money.

1229
01:30:45,230 --> 01:30:46,670
To pay a solicitor.

1230
01:30:48,450 --> 01:30:49,450
Nelson.

1231
01:30:52,250 --> 01:30:55,310
But he told you your claim couldn't be
substantiated.

1232
01:31:01,740 --> 01:31:05,720
Just my luck to hire a crook.

1233
01:31:08,820 --> 01:31:10,520
Which is your son's room?

1234
01:31:13,520 --> 01:31:14,520
I'll show you.

1235
01:31:19,560 --> 01:31:21,580
He took every single penny we had.

1236
01:31:21,980 --> 01:31:27,200
And then when these murders started,
he... He tried to blackmail you. I told

1237
01:31:27,200 --> 01:31:29,640
we couldn't pay him any more. Even this
house he's rented.

1238
01:31:30,410 --> 01:31:31,410
But he wouldn't listen.

1239
01:31:36,010 --> 01:31:37,010
Victor.

1240
01:31:38,590 --> 01:31:40,130
Put your jacket on, dear.

1241
01:31:40,790 --> 01:31:43,010
I'm afraid you have to go to the police
station.

1242
01:31:48,030 --> 01:31:50,150
Your mother's going too, Victor.

1243
01:31:52,610 --> 01:31:55,350
I know he was with his girlfriend at the
time of Mel.

1244
01:31:57,870 --> 01:32:01,070
You killed him, didn't you, Mrs. Preece,
to protect your son?

1245
01:32:33,800 --> 01:32:37,580
When I come out, I'll get you too.

1246
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:53,880
I shouldn't worry about it. By the time
he comes out, you'll be long gone.

1247
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:58,940
You're wasted as a cobbler's.

1248
01:32:59,880 --> 01:33:02,280
You should have joined the diplomatic
service.

1249
01:33:10,060 --> 01:33:11,300
Something is worrying you, though.

1250
01:33:12,220 --> 01:33:13,980
Yes. What?

1251
01:33:15,260 --> 01:33:16,260
Loose ends.

1252
01:33:17,180 --> 01:33:19,260
And a piece that doesn't fit.

1253
01:33:20,580 --> 01:33:22,340
What does it matter, Chief Inspector?

1254
01:33:24,060 --> 01:33:25,200
The boys are dead.

1255
01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:26,800
Trevor's dead.

1256
01:33:28,500 --> 01:33:30,460
You knew he'd committed a fraud?

1257
01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:32,880
Fraud? What are you talking about?

1258
01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:35,660
When did you find out, Mr Radford?

1259
01:33:37,290 --> 01:33:42,710
When he asked me to guarantee a bank
loan, Trevor persuaded the surveyor to

1260
01:33:42,710 --> 01:33:46,490
overestimate the brewery's assets, thus
increasing the value of the shares.

1261
01:33:47,010 --> 01:33:52,250
So he could borrow against them. Oh, no,
it wasn't for personal gain. It was to

1262
01:33:52,250 --> 01:33:53,330
save the brewery.

1263
01:33:54,650 --> 01:33:56,230
It was still a fraud.

1264
01:33:57,870 --> 01:34:02,770
And when farmers made their bid, he
realised he was in danger of being found

1265
01:34:02,770 --> 01:34:08,990
out, so he wrote a backdated letter to
the surveyor expressing his disagreement

1266
01:34:08,990 --> 01:34:11,050
with the high valuation.

1267
01:34:12,330 --> 01:34:17,690
I knew that once George Lineker took a
look at the books, the fraud would be

1268
01:34:17,690 --> 01:34:23,570
exposed and... We couldn't have that.

1269
01:34:24,270 --> 01:34:26,250
Oh, no, we couldn't have that, could we?

1270
01:34:26,890 --> 01:34:29,630
The family reputation must be preserved
at all costs.

1271
01:34:30,970 --> 01:34:32,890
The magnificent Radford.

1272
01:34:35,010 --> 01:34:38,530
For ten years you've been looking down
your nose and smiling at me and all the

1273
01:34:38,530 --> 01:34:44,050
time... Just look at you.

1274
01:34:44,750 --> 01:34:50,030
I bet this is embarrassing you,
Inspector, but... But I'm pleased it's

1275
01:34:50,030 --> 01:34:54,470
in the open now because... I'm sorry,
but I'm going to have to say this.

1276
01:34:55,530 --> 01:34:57,090
You never wanted me, did you?

1277
01:34:59,770 --> 01:35:00,790
Just the grandchildren.

1278
01:35:02,130 --> 01:35:03,130
My kids.

1279
01:35:04,550 --> 01:35:07,130
So, now you're going to get your own
way.

1280
01:35:08,810 --> 01:35:10,230
But I'm taking them with me.

1281
01:35:11,550 --> 01:35:16,670
And if you want to see them, you are
going to have to whistle.

1282
01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:34,320
Well, Inspector.

1283
01:35:42,580 --> 01:35:45,120
Must the evil that men do live after
them?

1284
01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:48,760
Or can it remain our secret?

1285
01:35:53,380 --> 01:35:55,880
There's nothing I can prove, Mrs.
Wrightford.

1286
01:35:56,860 --> 01:36:01,560
I can't even prove the surveyor
deliberately made a false valuation,

1287
01:36:03,440 --> 01:36:05,900
Your son Trevor can rest in peace.

1288
01:36:26,660 --> 01:36:29,200
So there are more important things than
money.

1289
01:36:30,140 --> 01:36:31,140
What?

1290
01:36:32,370 --> 01:36:33,370
Family on it.

1291
01:36:33,710 --> 01:36:35,210
It's what the Radfords care about.

1292
01:36:35,430 --> 01:36:36,750
It's what he cares about.

1293
01:36:37,110 --> 01:36:38,470
I'm not sure about her.

1294
01:36:41,650 --> 01:36:43,690
Right, she'll stay with him when the
money runs out.

1295
01:36:44,730 --> 01:36:46,350
They'll have to sell that house, won't
they?

1296
01:36:46,730 --> 01:36:53,690
Pay off the... The hell

1297
01:36:53,690 --> 01:36:57,390
do you... Say that again.

1298
01:36:57,630 --> 01:36:59,170
Say that again, what you just said.

1299
01:37:00,370 --> 01:37:04,200
Well... I was just wondering whether
she'd stay with him when the money was

1300
01:37:04,340 --> 01:37:07,820
Lewis, you're a genius. You've cracked
it.

1301
01:37:08,440 --> 01:37:12,520
I thought we'd already cracked it. We
cracked half of it, but we got the other

1302
01:37:12,520 --> 01:37:13,520
half wrong.

1303
01:37:14,100 --> 01:37:15,960
So I'm a genius, am I?

1304
01:37:16,380 --> 01:37:19,300
Yes, because you talk like Mrs. Preece.

1305
01:37:19,860 --> 01:37:22,140
You don't talk like Mrs. Radford.

1306
01:37:25,500 --> 01:37:26,500
I'm not with you, sir.

1307
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:30,120
Isabel Radford wouldn't say stay.

1308
01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:31,980
She'd say, remain.

1309
01:37:33,700 --> 01:37:36,440
So? Can it remain our secret?

1310
01:37:36,820 --> 01:37:40,080
Can it remain our secret, she said.

1311
01:37:40,540 --> 01:37:45,960
The woman that phoned Nelson's secretary
told her to ask him to remain at the

1312
01:37:45,960 --> 01:37:51,960
office. A bit tenuous, isn't it? I shall
be arriving just after six. Now, most

1313
01:37:51,960 --> 01:37:56,180
people would have said, I'll be there
just after six, wouldn't they? Mrs

1314
01:37:56,180 --> 01:37:57,180
certainly would.

1315
01:37:57,740 --> 01:38:01,300
But Nelson was blackmailing Mrs Preece.
She admitted it herself.

1316
01:38:01,920 --> 01:38:04,880
Only since the first murder, and only
for pocket money.

1317
01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:08,180
He was already playing for bigger
stakes.

1318
01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:24,920
Why didn't you go to the police about

1319
01:38:24,920 --> 01:38:26,920
the blackmail?

1320
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:30,160
We'd have lost half the brewery.

1321
01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:33,620
That odious little man, Nelson.

1322
01:38:35,140 --> 01:38:37,160
He threatened to give it to the
priestess.

1323
01:38:38,860 --> 01:38:44,060
I wasn't going to have those bloody
people get their hands on our brewery.

1324
01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:46,960
Oh, my darling.

1325
01:38:49,540 --> 01:38:56,420
What a terrible, terrible person you

1326
01:38:56,420 --> 01:38:57,480
had to be.

1327
01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:02,160
Why didn't you share it with me?

1328
01:39:03,580 --> 01:39:05,940
Because I didn't want you involved,
Charlie.

1329
01:39:06,220 --> 01:39:07,220
Oh.

1330
01:39:08,520 --> 01:39:14,200
If the deal had gone through, I'd have
paid Nelson off for my share,

1331
01:39:14,400 --> 01:39:16,780
and that would have been that.

1332
01:39:17,840 --> 01:39:19,180
Oh, no, it wouldn't.

1333
01:39:20,300 --> 01:39:21,740
He'd have come back for more.

1334
01:39:23,280 --> 01:39:24,280
Blackmailers always do.

1335
01:39:27,660 --> 01:39:29,860
That's one problem you won't have to
face now.

1336
01:39:36,140 --> 01:39:37,400
Is that you, Morse?

1337
01:39:40,100 --> 01:39:41,580
I was just coming to see you.

1338
01:39:43,520 --> 01:39:45,600
How kind of you to offer me a lift.

1339
01:40:38,090 --> 01:40:40,350
We're arranging to have someone take you
home, Mrs Preece.

1340
01:40:41,630 --> 01:40:44,250
You may still be charged with
obstructing the course of justice.

1341
01:40:52,370 --> 01:40:53,630
Are you all right?

1342
01:41:05,510 --> 01:41:06,830
I'll be alone again now.

1343
01:41:12,780 --> 01:41:13,780
Yes,

1344
01:41:17,340 --> 01:41:18,540
I suppose you will.

1345
01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:42,160
Fancy a pint, eh?

1346
01:41:44,180 --> 01:41:49,380
Do you know, Lewis, I'm not absolutely
sure I do.
