00:00Whenever you're
00:29ready, Mr. Carter.
00:32Thank you, Ella.
00:59Thank you, Ella.
01:29Thank you, Ella.
01:59Thank you, Ella.
02:29Remember, he was found dead in his garden pond last month.
02:33Oh, yes.
02:34In fact...
02:35I'm off to Janet's.
02:37Oh, planning to give her a bit of a tune, are we?
02:39Thought I might.
02:40Sure enjoy that.
02:41There we are.
02:43The inquest was yesterday.
02:46Accidental death.
02:47Sue, was that on the phone?
02:48His brother, Harry.
02:49What did he want?
02:51That, Robert, is what I'm about to find out.
02:54So, Geoffrey.
02:55Oh, only I've arranged to see Janet, you see.
02:58Oh, well, I'll have to manage on my own then.
03:00But you can drop me off on your way.
03:02Come on.
03:02Presumably, you've heard of my brother's death.
03:14He fell into a pond in his garden, I understand.
03:17Did he?
03:18Look, I was just about to pour myself a glass of wine.
03:25May I offer you one?
03:26Something stronger, perhaps?
03:28It's a bit early for me, Mr Carter.
03:31But I wouldn't say no to a cup of tea.
03:35So what exactly are you telling me, Mr Carter?
03:39That you don't think this was an accident?
03:41My brother was in very poor health, Mrs Wainthrop.
03:49He was due to go into hospital at any time for a bypass.
03:54What he was doing, standing by a pool at least 100 yards from his house, I can't imagine.
04:00Did you tell the police this?
04:01Yes.
04:03They said there was no indication of foul play of any kind.
04:07You're not suggesting suicide, I take it?
04:10Of course not.
04:13Because if it's murder we're on about, I have to tell you here and now that that's definitely police business.
04:20But it isn't my brother's death I want you to investigate, Mrs Wainthrop.
04:25It's her.
04:27Her?
04:29Ella Parsons.
04:31His so-called housekeeper.
04:32Really knocked you out, didn't I?
04:50Sorry, Geoff.
04:51I've just got a lot on me mind.
04:54Like what, for instance?
04:55Well, the fact that I could be homeless this time next week.
04:58I thought, what with this new job, all that was sorted.
05:01Well, I won't see any money for weeks yet, will I?
05:04Most of me redundancy's already been spent.
05:07Besides, even with a regular job again, it's more than I can manage on my own.
05:11Have you thought of advertising for somebody?
05:15Yeah.
05:16But you never really know who you're going to end up with, do you?
05:18What you really want, if you're sharing, is somebody you already know, isn't it?
05:26You mean like a mate?
05:29Ideally.
05:29Somebody you've shared with before.
05:33Right.
05:35I don't suppose you can think of anybody, can you?
05:40Not offhand, Janet, but I'll certainly give it some thought.
05:45Right.
05:48Underneath that serene exterior, she's devious, unscrupulous, and manipulative.
05:54And I have reason to believe that for the past two years,
05:57Ella Parsons has been systematically robbing my brother.
06:01Robbing him?
06:02Well, my brother is an inveterate collector, Mrs. Wainthrop.
06:05I mean, coins, stamps, jade.
06:09And since his death, certain items have gone missing.
06:13You have mentioned this to the police.
06:16Oh, no.
06:16Oh, no, no, no.
06:17Well, no, quite apart from anything else, I felt I should check it out myself first.
06:22So, will you take the case?
06:29Oh, we'll certainly check out Mrs. Parsons for you.
06:33If I could have a few details.
06:37Is she from this area?
06:39Yorkshire.
06:40Apart from that, Harry Carter doesn't seem to know much else about her.
06:43Hmm, better get her skates on, then.
06:45She won't be around much longer with her former boss dead and buried.
06:49Dead, Robert, but not necessarily buried.
06:52You what?
06:53If the inquest was yesterday, they'd probably only just release the body.
06:56Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery.
07:05He cometh up, and is cut down like a flower.
07:09He fleeth, as it were, a shadow, and never continueth in one stay.
07:14In the midst of life, we are in death.
07:18Of whom may we seek for succour but of thee, O Lord,
07:21who for our sins art justly displeased.
07:32Oh, thanks very much, Geoffrey.
07:35She's not back, then?
07:37Not yet, no.
07:38Something on your mind, is there, Geoffrey?
07:47No.
07:55I have this mate, mind you, with a bit of a problem.
08:00Oh.
08:00He has this girlfriend with this flat, you see.
08:09Oh, he has.
08:12Only, she can't afford to keep it on.
08:15Not on her own, like.
08:18And now she's on at him.
08:20That is, this mate of mine.
08:24To move in with her.
08:26I mean, she's not exactly asked him straight out, like.
08:31But he can see that's what she's hinting at.
08:36I see.
08:38I mean, purely to split the cost, like.
08:41To being able to live as cheaply as one, as it were.
08:44That's right.
08:45Only, he has this, well, aunt and uncle.
08:55Who he lives with at present, and he doesn't think they'd approve.
09:01Hmm.
09:01Difficult.
09:03I'll say.
09:06I suppose at the end of the day, it is up to him, Geoffrey.
09:11Well, I'd have said so, yeah?
09:13I presume he is over 21.
09:16Well, no, he isn't.
09:17You see, that's the other thing.
09:19But he's old enough.
09:21I mean, to make up his own mind about these things.
09:24Right.
09:26And I would have thought, without knowing any of the parties concerned, of course.
09:31Of course.
09:32That this uncle would understand that.
09:35Being a man of the world and seeing the sheer practicalities of the situation.
09:40Right.
09:43But that still does leave the aunt, I suppose.
09:51Right.
09:51Mrs. Parsons, isn't it?
10:07That's right.
10:08I'm Hattie Wainthrop, a friend of Harry Carter's.
10:11Oh, yes.
10:12I gather you're from Yorkshire.
10:13Harrogate.
10:14Very nice.
10:15I wouldn't say it was all that nice, Mrs. Wainthrop.
10:18Not where we lived, anyway.
10:20The accident must have been a terrible shock for you.
10:24Yes, it was.
10:25Whatever happened, do you think?
10:28I can only assume he tripped and fell in and couldn't get out again.
10:34It is quite deep, that pool, and overgrown.
10:38Where does this leave you now?
10:40Well, Mr. Carter has asked me to stay on for a few weeks, just until everything's sorted out.
10:46But, um, after that, I, uh...
10:49Quite a feast, Ella.
10:52You've done him proud.
10:55And now, if you'll excuse me, I'd better organise some coffee.
11:01It's mutual, then.
11:04Your feelings for one another.
11:06Would you like to see where my brother was found?
11:12I thought it was a robbery.
11:14I was investigating Mr. Carter.
11:15Not a death.
11:17It never does any harm, though, Mrs. Wainthrop, having a complete picture.
11:28It's a bit, uh, smelly.
11:32He'd let things go somewhat, I'm afraid.
11:34How deep is it?
11:38Six feet, I suppose.
11:41Certainly deep enough to drown in.
11:44He couldn't swim, I take it.
11:46He always hated water.
11:51Where was Mrs. Parsons that afternoon?
11:55Well, gone to the shops, she says.
11:59When did she last see him alive?
12:01A couple of hours earlier.
12:05She said she served him his lunch and left him there eating it.
12:10What did she think he was doing this far from the house?
12:14She said he often came down here when he wanted to think.
12:19Did he?
12:21Possibly.
12:22Cape Town?
12:32You can say Johannesburg if you'd rather.
12:34Well, considering I've never been within 2,000 miles of either, I can't see that it matters.
12:39Can you?
12:39There you are, then.
12:41Whose crackpot idea was this?
12:43And what's crackpot about it?
12:45How's my posing as James Carter's South African cousin going to help us?
12:50It gains you legitimate access to the house, Robert.
12:54And then you can have a good route round when she's out of the way.
12:58Access to the house?
13:00Your story is that you've already made an offer on the place.
13:04And Harry Carter has accepted it.
13:06And because your family got it, he's agreed to let you stay on until the estate's been properly sorted out.
13:16Oh, and your name's Tate, by the way.
13:18Robert Tate.
13:20How's your South African accent, Mr. Wainthral?
13:23Non-existent.
13:25Oh, that's no problem.
13:27You originally came from round here and you're one of those people who never lost his local twang.
13:31And when's all this supposed to happen?
13:33The sooner the better.
13:34So you'd best both go and get packed.
13:37Both, Mrs. Wainthral?
13:39Somebody's got to push the wheelchair.
13:42Wheelchair?
13:43You've been confined to one ever since your riding accident on the veldt, right?
13:50There was a stair left at that house.
13:52That's what gave me the idea.
13:53But what advantage is there in me being confined to a wheelchair?
14:00For a start, it's a perfect excuse to have Geoffrey with you.
14:05Oh, and Mr. Carter's agreed to provide a car.
14:08And what are you going to be doing all this time?
14:10Checking out one or two things with DCI Adams.
14:12Not bad, is it, Mr. Wainthral?
14:29Having your own chauffeur-driven roller for a couple of days?
14:31I can't think of places I'd rather be at this moment.
14:54Oh, Geoff, you don't have to go raving mad.
14:57Ah, Mrs. Parsons, I presume.
15:05That's right.
15:06Robert Tate.
15:08Harry did warn you.
15:09Oh, yes.
15:13Accidental death, according to the coroner.
15:15And there's no doubt in anybody's mind that it was an accident.
15:19None at all.
15:20Why?
15:21What's your interest in Carter's death?
15:23His brother Harry's asked me to look into it.
15:25Really?
15:27Do you think he's being paranoid?
15:30I certainly don't believe the housekeeper pushed him in and held him under.
15:33That's what he more or less tried to suggest to us.
15:35But did you check her out?
15:38Not even a parking ticket.
15:40I take it Cousin Harry told you I'll be buying the house?
15:43Of course.
15:44Did he also tell you I'll be looking for a housekeeper, once things have been finalised, that is?
15:49He didn't, no.
15:50Well, what are your own plans now?
15:54I don't know that I've made any as yet, Mr. Tate.
15:57It's all been such a shock.
15:59I'm sure.
16:00I was wondering if you'd be interested in staying.
16:03If we finally get on, that is.
16:05That's very nice of you, Mr. Tate, but you hardly know me.
16:10Oh, but I do, Mrs. Parsons.
16:12Oh?
16:13James often spoke of you in his letters, and always very warmly.
16:16Oh, well, that's nice.
16:20He never mentioned you to me, I'm afraid.
16:23I'd always understood his brother was his only surviving family.
16:26Oh, well, I suppose we're not cousins as such.
16:31More half-cousins, really.
16:33I see.
16:35Well, why don't we both think about it, eh?
16:38Yes.
16:40And now, if you'd like to come up, I'll show you your rooms, shall I?
16:43So far, so good.
16:46As the man said as he jumped off Blackpool Tower.
16:50As you can see, there is a lift.
16:55Not that Mr. Carter used it much.
16:59He seemed to regard it as an admission of defeat.
17:03Oh, not a great follower of doctor's orders, are you, James?
17:07Not really, no.
17:08Oh, fuck.
17:10Oh, fuck.
17:12That probably explains why you went into the garden that day.
17:19More than likely.
17:21Thanks.
17:23Right, then.
17:24Whenever you're ready, boss.
17:32Whenever you're ready, Geoffrey.
17:34Pardon?
17:35The chair.
17:36The chair.
17:37Oh, sorry.
17:38All right for you?
17:53Oh, yes.
17:53Lovely.
17:54In that case, if you'll excuse me, I'll organise some lunch.
17:58All right.
18:02Well, no, just stand there, Geoffrey.
18:03Go and fetch the bags.
18:06Yes, sir.
18:06All right for you?
18:12My favourite, Mrs. Parsons.
18:15And mine.
18:16You'll find yours in the kitchen, Geoffrey.
18:19Oh, right.
18:30Yummy.
18:30Oh, thanks.
18:40About your offer, Mr. Tate.
18:41Oh, yes.
18:42Would it be on the same terms as Mr. Carter's?
18:45Oh, of course.
18:47In that case, I might well be interested.
18:50Good.
18:50And, er, thanks very much.
18:55Oh, and, er, if you could lay your hands on any references,
19:00the ones you provided for James would do.
19:03But, of course.
19:03Yes.
19:28Robert, how's it going?
19:29Well, she's agreed to stay on.
19:32Good.
19:36Well, isn't it?
19:37Just as long as I never have to explain that there isn't really a job at all.
19:42We'll worry about that when we come to it.
19:44Did she find you any references?
19:46Oh, that was quick.
19:49She's a very organised lady.
19:52Both from addresses in Harrogate.
19:54Yes, she said she came from there.
19:57What else did you manage to find out?
19:59Not a lot.
20:01Except that she's a terrific cook.
20:03A very roast beef for lunch.
20:05Oh, that's nice for you.
20:08How's Geoffrey doing?
20:10Also eating royally, I trust?
20:13Not quite as royally.
20:14Where is he, anyway?
20:16Gone to see Janet.
20:18Incidentally, has he mentioned this mate of his to you yet?
20:23Mate of his?
20:24And the little problem he's having?
20:34Eh?
20:35Not a bad old banger, I suppose.
20:37You're into flash.
20:38So, have you found anyone to share your flat with yet?
20:44Afraid not.
20:45Have you thought of anyone?
20:48Afraid not.
20:49So, you think these may be forjuries?
20:54No family called Houghton or Frodsham are living at either of these addresses at the moment.
21:00And it is a bit of a coincidence if both of them have moved within the last two years.
21:05But not impossible?
21:07Of course not.
21:10Well, why can't you simply ring the people who live there now and ask them?
21:13If I had their names, I could.
21:15You can't get a number out of directory inquiries without giving them a name.
21:21Oh.
21:21So?
21:23So, I'll have to go over to Harrogate and check.
21:26Well, the sooner the better.
21:31I could get used to this, Mrs. Winfrock.
21:34What, at ten miles to the gallon?
21:41Incidentally, I didn't tell you about this mate of mine, did I?
21:45Oh, what mate might this be, Geoffrey?
21:49Geoffrey's out, is he?
21:54Er, day off.
21:56Oh.
21:57Will he be all right on your own if I pop down to the shops for an hour?
22:00Oh, yes.
22:01In that case, I'll see you later.
22:04Right.
22:06What would you advise him to do, Mrs. Winthrop?
22:09Oh, I'm sure I'd be the last person this mate of yours would turn to for advice, Geoffrey.
22:16But if it was you who was asking...
22:19Yeah?
22:20I'd say the one person he'd be most likely to have trouble with would be his uncle.
22:29They can become very staid, men of that age.
22:33But you think his auntie would be more broad-minded about it?
22:36Oh, in my experience, women are much more realistic about these things than men are.
22:43Right.
22:45As long as he makes it quite clear, of course,
22:48that it's just the rent they're sharing.
22:52Right.
22:53Yes.
22:53Yes.
22:54Yes.
23:05Yes.
25:27Hello?
27:05So?
27:06They've never heard of anyone called Frodshum at Trent Shard Crescent, Mrs. Wainthrop?
27:11Well, there's a surprise.
27:24Still not back then, young Geoffrey?
27:28Er, not yet, no.
27:31He's a lucky boy.
27:33To be given the use of a car like that on his day off.
27:36Well, not much use to me, really.
27:39Without Geoffrey to drive me.
27:41And he's a good lad, you know. Totally trustworthy.
27:44And local, too, from his accent.
27:48Er, well, I booked him through an agency before I left South Africa.
27:52He was here waiting for me when I arrived.
27:55You don't sound all like South African yourself, Mr Tate.
27:59No, well, it was something I prided myself in when I was over there, my northern accent.
28:04Never could stand it when people arrived from the old country
28:07and in no time at all were talking as though they were born there.
28:11Which part of South Africa were you living in?
28:15Johannesburg.
28:16Or rather, Joburg, as we used to call it.
28:19I have a friend there.
28:23Really?
28:24She lives in a place called, what was it again, Hillbrow.
28:29No.
28:30That's where I lived, Hillbrow.
28:32Good Lord.
28:34Small world, eh?
28:35Isn't it, though?
28:38Well, you must be bored out of your mind, stuck inside all day.
28:42Would a breath of fresh air help?
28:44Why not?
28:45That's where they found it.
28:59Yes.
29:03Are you warm enough?
29:05I think so.
29:06Will you be all right for a few minutes while I put the kettle on?
29:13Yes, that sounds like a wonderful idea.
29:15I'll leave you to it, then.
29:17Bye.
29:18Bye.
29:19Bye.
29:38Bye.
29:38Right, Geoffrey, I want you to give Robert a ring
29:52and warn him we'll need to have a meeting to bring him up to date.
29:59That is, if he can bear to be dragged away from Mrs. Parson's
30:02cordon bleu cooking for an evening.
30:08STAPLETON HALL?
30:21Hi, Mrs. Parsons. It's Geoff. Is Mr. Tate there, please?
30:25I'm afraid he's out in the garden at the moment. Can I take a message?
30:29Just tell him I'll be back soon, will you?
30:32Are you sure I can't get him to call you?
30:34No. No. I'm in the payphone. Bye.
30:38STAPLETON HALL
30:56Wayne from Detective Agency.
30:57Who was that?
31:11I don't know. They put the phone down. Wrong number, obviously.
31:14Well, you know what to do, don't you? Dial 1471 and they'll tell you who it was who rang.
31:27Hello.
31:28It's me.
31:29Hi, Janet.
31:30I just wondered if you'd had any thoughts yet?
31:33Thoughts?
31:34About this flat business.
31:36Oh, er, look, it's a bit awkward at the moment. Can I ring you back?
31:40OK.
31:41See you then.
31:43Well, you tell DCI Adams the references are forgeries.
31:52Well, I think before we do, we need to find out a bit more about Ella Parsons.
31:57And how do you intend to do that, Mrs. Wainthrob?
31:58Oh, it isn't how I intend to do it, Geoffrey. It's how you intend to do it.
32:02That's Mr. Tate's cocoa is it, Mrs. Parsons?
32:03That's right.
32:04I, Adams, the references are forgeries. Well, I think before we do, we need to find out a bit more
32:09about Ella Parsons. And how do you intend to do that, Mrs. Wainthrop? Oh, it isn't how I intend to
32:15do it, Geoffrey. It's how you intend to do it. That's Mr. Tate's cocoa, is it, Mrs. Parsons?
32:29That's right. I'll take it up for him if you like.
32:34Very well. Thanks.
32:47Ah, nothing like a nice cup of hot cocoa to help you sleep. Only not this one, I'm afraid,
32:53Mr. Wainthrop. Geoffrey. Geoffrey! Shush.
33:01Dabs, Mr. Wainthrop.
33:04A perfect set, I'd say.
33:09You've found something else, haven't you, Mrs. Wainthrop?
33:11All I've got to go on so far are suspicions. The minute they become something else, believe
33:18me, you'll be the first to know.
33:21You better have very good grounds for asking me to do this.
33:25I've been accused of lots of things in the past few years, Chief Inspector.
33:29But wasting police time has never been one of them.
33:32Her name isn't Ella Parsons. It's Anna Lithgow. She got nine months for robbery a few years
33:42back and GBH on the policeman who arrested her. Oh, and she isn't married either, by the
33:48way.
33:48Perhaps it's just as well.
33:51All right, Geoffrey, you can drop me at Chez Renoir.
33:55Chez Renoir?
33:56That's right. I'm lunching with Mr. Carter.
34:00I know.
34:00So she's not only a fraud, she's a pretty dangerous one too.
34:09It seems like it.
34:11And what did the police say about that?
34:14Oh, DCI Adams was all for pulling her in at once, of course.
34:19Until I talked him out of it.
34:21How did you manage that?
34:23By pointing out that they'd blow our cover and miss their chance of nailing her for something
34:30far more serious than falsifying references.
34:35We've got 24 hours to come up with something.
34:39After that, it's out of our hands.
34:45Thank you, George.
34:46If she has been helping herself to items from the house, isn't it likely she's still at
34:55it?
34:56It's a possibility.
34:58And if she is, how has she been disposing of the stuff?
35:02Bit risky, I would have thought.
35:04Touting for a fence in an area you're not familiar with.
35:09Much better to stash the stuff and then get rid of its own home turf, so to speak.
35:15She made regular trips to Yorkshire, allegedly to visit relatives.
35:20If she is hiding it around the house, it certainly isn't in her room.
35:27There must be lots of other places, outhouses and such.
35:32Places my brother wouldn't dream of going into.
35:36Worth checking, I would have thought.
35:45Right, Mr Tate, I'm off.
35:47Back about tea time.
35:49Going somewhere nice?
35:50Just to the cinema.
35:52See you later, then.
36:01Right.
36:03Robert, you make a start on the garages.
36:05Geoffrey, have a sniff round the attic.
36:06I'll check the back.
36:08Bye.
36:09Go.
36:09Bye.
36:13Bye.
36:14Bye.
36:19Bye.
36:20Bye.
36:29Bye.
36:31Bye.
36:31Bye.
37:01I found something interesting, have you, Mrs. Wainthrop?
37:31Are these yours, by any chance?
37:42They certainly look familiar.
37:45And they're damp as well.
37:48No prizes for guessing how they got like that.
37:52And if there's smells anything to go by.
37:54Oh?
37:55The pond, Mrs. Parsons.
37:57The one James Carter drowned in.
38:02Or should I call you Miss Lithgow?
38:06Oh, you're obviously very good, Mrs. Wainthrop.
38:11I must remember to consult the Wainthrop Detective Agency myself, next time I need somebody.
38:17Presumably you're working for Harry Carter.
38:20Yes, I am.
38:20And the only person you'll be consulting in the near future, I dare say, will be a solicitor.
38:27When the police have seen this little lot, are these the clothes you were wearing on the day he drowned?
38:32I'm sorry?
38:33What happened, Miss Lithgow?
38:36Did he prove to be more of a handful than you thought he would?
38:40Which is why you both ended up in the water.
38:43You think I drowned him?
38:44Did you?
38:45You're mad.
38:47Let's see if the police think I am, shall we?
38:50No.
38:51At least not until you've heard what I have to say.
38:53Why on earth should I want to drown him, Mrs. Wainthrop?
38:55Good grief woman, I only just agreed to marry him.
39:01Married?
39:02To my brother?
39:04The original confirmed bachelor?
39:08That's ridiculous.
39:09Even confirmed bachelors have been known to get married, Mr. Carter.
39:13Not my brother, Mrs. Wainthrop.
39:16He was terrified of women, always had been.
39:18Anyway, where is La Parsons or Lithgow or whatever she's calling herself nowadays?
39:22Safely locked away, I hope.
39:24Upstairs in her room.
39:27But the police are on their way.
39:29These are for you, Mrs. Wainthrop.
39:53If you're half as good a detective as I suspect you are,
39:55I think you might just find them interesting.
40:05Oh, and by the way, Mr. Wainthrop,
40:09next time you pretend you're from Johannesburg,
40:11don't tell people you're from Hillbrow, will you?
40:14My black friend who lives there says you'd look most out of place.
40:17I don't know.
40:47I think that just about covers it, don't you?
41:03Thanks very much.
41:05Thank you very much, Mrs. Wainthrop.
41:07For a job, well done.
41:12Oh, well, we're just lucky, Mr. Carter.
41:14You must admit, it was pretty lucky.
41:19Finding that dumb clothing, I couldn't understand it, really.
41:23How do you mean?
41:25Well, Anna Lithgow, leaving it lying around like that.
41:30A little bit careless for such a careful woman.
41:34Well, presumably, she never in a million years
41:37thought that anybody would come looking for it.
41:39She claims that the clothes had gone missing from her room
41:45within the last few days.
41:47She was proposing to wear that skirt for the funeral
41:50and took it to be dry-cleaned.
41:54When she came to put it on on the morning of the funeral,
41:57it had gone.
41:59That and the blouse I found.
42:01That's what she said, isn't it?
42:06Oh, and she can prove it.
42:08You see, that skirt was dropped off at the cleaners
42:11all less than a week ago,
42:13with some curtains.
42:16Being a meticulous housekeeper,
42:19she kept the receipt for the household accounts.
42:23This is the receipt.
42:24As you see, the list of items includes a skirt.
42:34Well, there's nothing here that says
42:35it was the skirt that you found.
42:40They do remember it, though, at the cleaners.
42:44Oh, you, Carter,
42:45isn't anybody associated with you
42:47with a talk of the town at the time?
42:52So what does all this prove?
42:54It's not so much what it proves, Mr. Carter,
42:58as what it suggests.
43:01Suggests?
43:03That that clothing was deliberately planted
43:06for me to find
43:07by the same person who put the idea into my head
43:12of searching the outbuildings.
43:15Now you're being ridiculous, Mrs. Weyntrop.
43:19Am I?
43:21You and your brother had a big row
43:22the night before he drowned, didn't you?
43:24You could be heard all over the house.
43:26That's what she told you, is it?
43:28What was the row about, Mr. Carter?
43:31Had he just told you
43:32he was going to get married
43:34to her, of all people?
43:36And you could see your entire inheritance
43:39being lost to her?
43:41That's preposterous.
43:43Do you know what I think happened?
43:47I think you came back the following day
43:50to take it up with him again.
43:53Only you found her out shopping.
43:56And him all alone by that pond.
43:58This time, the row got out of hand.
44:03He ended up in the water
44:04and you'd just left him there.
44:07That's an outrageous thing to say.
44:10You'd have got away with it, too,
44:12if you'd simply taken the money and run.
44:15But it wasn't enough for you, was it?
44:17You had to get even with her as well.
44:20It was all her fault.
44:22If she hadn't come into your lives,
44:23he'd no need to have died, had he?
44:30Poetic justice.
44:33Fitting her up for his murder.
44:35You can't prove a word of this, Mrs. Wainthrop.
44:38Not one word.
44:41Perhaps I can't.
44:44But then, I don't need to, do I?
44:48As I told you, we don't do murder, Mr. Carter.
44:52We'll leave that to the police.
44:55But I don't think they'll have much trouble over this one.
45:01Uh-oh.
45:04Whoever planted that clothing
45:06must have left fingerprints
45:09all over that greenhouse door.
45:13Had a bit of a job getting it open.
45:14If they turn out to be your fingerprints,
45:21whatever were you doing
45:22in that particular greenhouse of all places?
45:28Have you outlined your theory to the police yet, Mrs. Wainthrop?
45:32I was just about to, as a matter of fact.
45:36Were you really?
45:37A bit late for that, I think, sir.
45:55Already what you might call
45:56done and dusted, that door.
45:58So what happened to your roller?
46:12Oh, he's back with the real owner, I'm afraid.
46:14Not that he'll be doing much driving, mind you.
46:18So, have you sorted out this little problem?
46:21Problem solved, Jeffrey.
46:23Oh.
46:25What niggles me is the way he tried to use us
46:27to frame that poor woman.
46:32His fatal mistake, Robert.
46:34Never underestimate a Wainthrop.
46:36Right, love?
46:38And we got paid.
46:40And I suppose, if nothing else,
46:42I had a taste of the high life.
46:45As for that roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.
46:48I had the duck at the Chez Renoir.
46:50And a very nice shabbley.
46:56Not that it was a laughing matter, mind.
46:58You could have been in real danger
46:59facing a murderer like that.
47:01In future, when we say no murders,
47:03we mean it, OK?
47:05And before you tell me again
47:06that it wasn't a murder we were investigating,
47:09don't even start.
47:11All right?
47:16All right, Robert.
47:17You're early.
47:29Fancied an early night.
47:30I thought you were supposed to be seeing Janet.
47:33I've seen Janet.
47:36You two haven't had a row, have you?
47:38Of course not.
47:39How's this mate of yours getting on
47:43with that little problem he was having?
47:46All sorted.
47:47Oh?
47:50Seems his girlfriend
47:52found somebody else to share the flat with.
47:56Some other fella.
47:58So, like Janet said,
48:03problem solved.
48:12Oh dear.
48:13Oh dear.
48:14Oh dear.
