1
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,480
An nou ncer: Arriving at
slaughter Abbey in the cotswolds

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,680
their home from home for the next few days

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,160
a bevy of beauties
from all four corners of the kingdom

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,000
united for the miss united britain contest

5
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:21,880
every gorgeous girl has their sights set
on being named the nation's supreme poppet

6
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:24,600
first off were this year's frontrunners.

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,960
Miss walton—on— thames, Diane green.

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:32,160
Miss Belfast, c/odagh ki/patriok, is
current holder of the miss swimsuit title.

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,880
Miss Cardiff Sally Ann Jones.

10
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,320
Oh, she looks happy to be here

11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,320
but not as happy as those photographers!

12
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,200
Last but not least, miss Glasgow,
moira McDonald.

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,040
This is only her second contest,
begging the question

14
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,600
where has she been hiding?

15
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,960
There to greet them was Lesley canon

16
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,720
nicknamed the beauty king.

17
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,440
All in the line of duty

18
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,640
but what man doesn't envy his job?

19
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,800
The line—up of the lovelies.

20
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,360
A dozen pretty hopefuls.

21
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,760
But no hint of competitive spirit here.

22
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,320
It looks like they're already
becoming firm friends.

23
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,520
Diane: I said to him,
you can ask me as many times as...

24
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,576
Do you think she ran it up at home
on the sewing machine?

25
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:12,720
Girls giggle

26
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:19,760
and what are you
looking for in a contestant?

27
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,000
Well... single, childless.

28
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,760
5'6 to 5'9.

29
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,960
Waist 22—24 inches.

30
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:27,880
Hips 35—36.

31
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,600
36—37 inch bust.

32
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,520
Perfectly shaped legs. No flabby thighs.

33
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:33,840
Good skin, teeth and hair.

34
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,360
Chest out, Glasgow!

35
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,080
Flaunt what mother nature gave you!

36
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,000
I'd ask mother nature for my money back.

37
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,960
Girls giggle

38
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,000
I suppose some rivalry is inevitable?

39
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,720
Well, put a dozen goddesses together,
throw in a golden apple.

40
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,200
What do you think? — quite.

41
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,360
May I have a few photographs and perhaps
a few words from the three favourites?

42
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:56,800
Yeah, be my guest.

43
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,240
So, aside from your ambition to, um...

44
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,080
"Further the cause of
international friendship"

45
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,296
why do you think you'll win?

46
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,760
Take two guesses.

47
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:12,760
Right...

48
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,200
As an airline stewardess,
I've already travelled the world

49
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,720
and I'm comfortable mixing with...

50
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,040
The right sort.

51
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,440
It's not just looks.

52
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,360
Don't write this down, mind, but

53
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,280
I've met ironing boards with more
personality than some of these.

54
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,040
And how would you answer the charge
that it's demeaning to women?

55
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,640
The winner will act as ambassadress
for the nation.

56
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,720
Most go on to be actresses or models.

57
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,160
What's degrading about that?

58
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:41,320
They're jealous.

59
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,400
I tell you what's demeaning.

60
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,920
Being tied to a kitchen sink
with a brood of ankle—biters.

61
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,760
£3,000 buys a woman a lot of independence.

62
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:51,480
I can't disagree with that.

63
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:54,960
Lovely!

64
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:56,960
Camera clicks — that's it.

65
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,760
Alright, room for everybody.

66
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,320
Camera clicks — girls laugh

67
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:07,080
come on, girls. You're on in 48 hours.
You're like spuds in a sack!

68
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,360
Come on, fall in! Numerical order.

69
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,320
Let's get the music on, please, darling.

70
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,120
Where's Belfast?

71
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:14,880
Anyone seen Belfast?

72
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,720
Go and see where she's got to, will you?

73
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,560
Jazz music plays

74
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,920
he said numerical order.

75
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,680
She can't even count to ten.

76
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,840
Alright, come on, girls,
it's a beauty contest.

77
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:26,480
Shoulders back, hips forward.

78
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,720
She screams

79
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:31,680
girls scream

80
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,160
Camera clicks

81
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,640
her wristwatch stopped
at 9:05pm last night.

82
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,120
So we can assume that's when
she hit the water, if not time of death.

83
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,120
Right. Did no one notice she was missing?

84
00:04:18,280 --> 00:04:19,920
Lesley:
The contestants had a rest morning

85
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,320
so no one noticed until
just before we found her.

86
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,280
She must have fallen in.

87
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,376
Apparently she couldn't
swim, which is ironic

88
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,440
considering she's...
Well, was miss swimsuit.

89
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,160
Yes. Thank you, mr canon.

90
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,400
We can take it from here.

91
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,336
Sister boniface:
No indication of a sexual motive.

92
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,080
Her clothes are undisturbed
and no sign of fight or flight.

93
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,400
What have you got there?
— hairs caught in the strap.

94
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,120
Female, I deduce, by the length

95
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:48,280
and black,
so they don't belong to the victim.

96
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,880
Pulled out with force,
judging by traces of blood on the roots.

97
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,720
So is the cause of death drowning?

98
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,360
Moot at this juncture.

99
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,080
Can you help me turn her, Sam?

100
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,520
Sam?

101
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,840
He sucks teeth

102
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,360
he muti'ers

103
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:11,800
Oh!

104
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,360
Look at that.

105
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,120
Cause of death
is a strike to the medulla oblongata.

106
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:21,920
One blow will kill you instantly.

107
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,800
Though it would require
some knowledge of anatomy.

108
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,760
Either that or the killer struck lucky.

109
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,000
So this is murder?

110
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,480
Oh, I'm afraid so, yes.

111
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,040
Camera clicks

112
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,480
could you have a "stab"
at the murder weapon?

113
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,120
Very good.

114
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,400
Only that it's about
half an inch in diameter

115
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,520
and made a penetrating injury
between the occiput and c1

116
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,000
causing radial splits.

117
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,600
However, it has left...

118
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,920
An oily residue.

119
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,600
Right. Well, we should, um...

120
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,120
Cordon the scene.
Draft in uniform to do a search.

121
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,400
Make a list of everyone in the house
and collate statements.

122
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,600
Exactly.

123
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,320
Do you mind if I leave you to it
while I go and break the news?

124
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,560
I mean, it's a tough job,
but someone has to do it.

125
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:10,240
Um... yes, you might want to, um...

126
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:12,440
Oh. Mm.

127
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:13,920
Footsteps approach

128
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,240
sir.
Cc lowsley needs to see you urgently.

129
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,160
Fine.

130
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:26,640
We have a political hot potato.

131
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,440
The miss world
competition is in three months

132
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,000
and the host nation can't be seen to have
a random beauty queen killer on the loose.

133
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,120
There's no evidence of that yet, sir.

134
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,280
There are no reports of any intruders.

135
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,360
Although we are yet
to speak to the security guard.

136
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,440
Huh. Well, that may be.

137
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,240
But les grandes fromages
have ordered a press embargo.

138
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,960
And the met are sending an officer
to oversee our investigation.

139
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,560
Scotland yard? — what the hell?

140
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,480
He chuckles yes!

141
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,360
I thought you'd be pleased.

142
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,400
So, you know the plan?

143
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,200
Roll out the red carpet.

144
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:06,960
Welcome him with open arms.

145
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,200
Full co—operation.

146
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,320
And I expect nothing less
than maximum effort.

147
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:12,560
Both: Sir.

148
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,360
And last but not least...

149
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,840
Make bloody sure he doesn't
solve the case first.

150
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:19,960
Capiche?

151
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:21,480
Both: Sir.

152
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,240
Church bell tolls

153
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,320
I will try and extract the materials
from the wound residue.

154
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,280
It may shed some light
on the murder weapon.

155
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,800
The victim was seen
leaving the dinner at 8:35.

156
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,160
It leaves us a murder window of 30 minutes.

157
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,800
Eight without alibis.

158
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,080
One of the chaperones,
Lesley canon, and six contestants.

159
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,560
Ahem.

160
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,760
Oh, keep your shirt on.
I'm embargoed, remember?

161
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,440
Thought you might appreciate
some background. — perfect timing.

162
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,000
What do you know about the dead girl?

163
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,840
Brassiere model from coleraine.

164
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:01,520
Mm? — steady, tiger.

165
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,080
One of three favourites along with
miss walton—on—thames and miss Cardiff.

166
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,456
So if you're looking for a motive,
their chances of winning

167
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,696
have just increased by a third.

168
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,600
Is a beauty title really
worth killing over?

169
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:11,680
I'd say so.

170
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,120
£3,000, a sports car
and entry into miss world.

171
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,640
In other words,
a passport to fame and fortune.

172
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,080
Well, miss walton—on—thames has black hair

173
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,240
and there are...

174
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,640
Two more with black hair
that don't have alibis.

175
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,200
Right, so tomorrow, we take hair samples

176
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,680
and show this plod from Scotland yard
that we don't need him.

177
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,360
Dci Clifford winner.

178
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,240
He's the youngest officer
in the met to make dci.

179
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,640
His arrest record is legendary.

180
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:39,640
Query...

181
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,360
Intruder.

182
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,080
Rustle up some teas, will you, darlin'?

183
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,400
Don't forget the biscuits.

184
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:48,920
Thank you, wpc button.

185
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,400
Did you get a statement
from the security guard?

186
00:08:52,680 --> 00:08:55,480
No, not yet. He was off sick yesterday
but we'll get one today.

187
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,120
Morning. Di Sam Gillespie.

188
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,000
Winner: Dci Clifford winner.

189
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,640
Mrs clam missed you at breakfast.

190
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,920
Egg, if I'm not mistaken.

191
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,816
I came in early to write up the report.

192
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,040
In my book, early's on time, on
time is late and late is unacceptable.

193
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:15,600
So, shall we get on?

194
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,360
Option one, an intruder.

195
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,720
Option two, it was an inside job.

196
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,120
We'll be taking hair samples to try
and match those found on the body.

197
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,520
This was a brutal attack.

198
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,840
This is more than just tantrums and tiaras.

199
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,960
What we need is a murder weapon.

200
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,920
I'm examining residues from the wound
to see if that sheds light.

201
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,800
Oh, sister boniface,
police scientific advisor.

202
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,840
And you, I deduce, are dci winner.

203
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,680
Um, I was in the post office
and you forgot your lunch.

204
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,000
Mrs clam would've brought them but she
has a first day cover of native songbirds

205
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,840
and is expecting a veritable stampede
of twitchers.

206
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,080
Couldn't you have given them
to the poor and needy?

207
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,640
It seemed uncharitable
to add to their burden.

208
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:53,800
Ahem.

209
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,720
Well... thank you, sister.

210
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,200
I'll let you know when, and if,
I require your services.

211
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,320
Yes. Right.

212
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,200
Toodleoo.

213
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,680
Well, I'd heard rumours about the place
but this takes the garibaldi.

214
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,160
Well... and then there's option three

215
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,120
which I'm amazed has escaped you.

216
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,000
This security guard who conveniently
went awol the day after the murder.

217
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,480
Uh—— — he's a local man.

218
00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:26,640
He's not a suspect.

219
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,160
Let me be the judge of that.

220
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,960
I'll leave you to play hairdresser
while I go and talk to him.

221
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,680
Would you like me to come with you, sir?
— good lad.

222
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,800
We may need wpc button to come with us.

223
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,160
What do we want her for?

224
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:41,280
He grumbles incoherently

225
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,560
he patrolled the ground once an hour
and didn't see anyone.

226
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,560
Dog barks
— he shouts incoherently

227
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:48,960
yapper, yapper, yapper!

228
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,360
He grumbles incoherently

229
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,200
dog, dog...

230
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,360
Did you see miss Belfast, Tom?

231
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:55,560
Arp.

232
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,800
He grumbles incoherently

233
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:05,880
What did he say?

234
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,960
He may be a Tom, but he's no peeper.

235
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,120
He'd seen enough and
got on with his rounds.

236
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,280
Take a statement.

237
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,120
Preferably in English.

238
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:15,800
Local dialect, sir.

239
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,400
You get used to it. Or so I'm told.

240
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,160
Ah.
You clearly don't hail from these parts?

241
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,920
I'm on secondment from
the bermudian police.

242
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:26,880
My placement was supposed to be
at Scotland yard.

243
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,080
Then how the hell did you end up
in this godforsaken backwater?

244
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,400
I put it down to
a series of unfortunate events.

245
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,560
Actually, sir, um...

246
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,280
I still hope to get there one day.

247
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,880
Impress me and maybe you will.

248
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,040
Right. Let's see what the beauty king
has to say for himself.

249
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,200
I sincerely hope I'm not a suspect?

250
00:11:57,680 --> 00:11:59,840
Purely for purposes of elimination.

251
00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:02,160
Did you know clodagh well?

252
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,800
We'd been competing together for years.

253
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:07,880
She was...

254
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,440
A consummate professional.

255
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,360
Never a hair out of place.

256
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,040
I wonder...

257
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,560
Diane:
Leonard of Mayfair does mine.

258
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,080
If it's ruined,
there'll be merry hell to pay.

259
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,520
Watch out, greenhorn.

260
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,240
They don't think I should be here.

261
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,000
I was runner up in miss Glasgow

262
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,440
and she got herself up the duff, so...

263
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,360
Here am I by default.

264
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,600
Why the sudden urge
to enter beauty contests?

265
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,520
I reckoned I had more chance
of winning than the pools.

266
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,640
My dad lost his job and we've eight mouths
to feed on my wages.

267
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,480
One of the girls at the factory
entered miss Glasgow and I thought...

268
00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:53,320
If she can, why not me?

269
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,160
Why not indeed? I'll say a prayer for you.

270
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:58,320
Thanks, sister.

271
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,080
But I think I probably need a miracle.

272
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,640
Right, that's all of them.
Shall we get them back to the lab?

273
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,280
Yes.
But first, a detour via the victim's room.

274
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,040
But you've already searched it?

275
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,880
So, were you dropped on the head as a baby?

276
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,456
You think I'd be stupid enough to have
an affair with one of my contestants?

277
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:28,880
I imagine you get plenty of offers.

278
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,720
I'm ringmaster,
training these girls for a performance.

279
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,920
A bunch of highly—strung performers,
I might add.

280
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,520
So I threaten, I cajole and I advise them.

281
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,080
One step beyond the platonic,
I'd be finished.

282
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,240
Then how do you explain
what the security guard saw?

283
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,960
Why don't you ask the lady in question?

284
00:13:45,560 --> 00:13:46,760
Knock on door

285
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,160
he sighs

286
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,560
come back in the morning.
— moira: Please, mr canon.

287
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:54,760
Three minutes.

288
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:57,800
You've got two.

289
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,520
Why would a girl as neat as a pin
leave her drawers in disarray?

290
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:14,720
You think someone got here first?

291
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,960
The question is,
did they find what they were looking for?

292
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,200
Hello...

293
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,720
It got blown to the
back, so partially burnt.

294
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,360
A card, judging by the thickness.

295
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,720
Why burn it rather
than throw it in the bin?

296
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,720
What's written inside may tell us more.

297
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,320
It's burnt to a crisp.

298
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,600
Oh, you'd be amazed at the restorative
powers of a chloral hydrate bath.

299
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:48,800
Do you know who did it?

300
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,600
Everyone's saying
some nutter got into the grounds.

301
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,920
We can't speculate on that at the moment.

302
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:55,840
Were you friends? — she scoffs

303
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,080
no one could call us that,
after miss swimsuit.

304
00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:59,800
She tripped me on the catwalk.

305
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:01,800
Flat on my face, in front of the judges.

306
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,640
Claimed it was an accident,
but everyone knew what she was like.

307
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,080
What was she like?

308
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,480
Let's just say she wouldn't win
a miss popularity contest.

309
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,360
Not that I'd wish her dead, mind.

310
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,240
Thank you for your frankness.

311
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,320
You're welcome.

312
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,560
You need anything else, just let me know.

313
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,840
Has anyone said...
You lookjust like Sean Connery?

314
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:26,520
What?

315
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:29,920
Sorry...

316
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,760
So, what happened last night?

317
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:46,720
Just tell them the truth.

318
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,560
I needed to talk to mr canon.

319
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,320
Lesley:
Uh—uh, leave the door open.

320
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,560
I'm as pretty as them. — yeah.

321
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,080
I can smile and walk in a straight line.

322
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,560
So, what do I have to do to win?

323
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,160
Come here.

324
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,000
Turn around.

325
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,040
Here.

326
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,280
It's your hair.

327
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,080
Dated. Makes you look like Doris day.

328
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,480
Whereas this year's judges...

329
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,000
Want brigitte bardot.

330
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,160
Go on, get lost.

331
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,400
Close the door, will ya?

332
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:49,720
And then what?

333
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,040
Then I went back to my room.

334
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,680
So if there's nothing else,
we've a beauty contest to put on.

335
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:00,480
Come on.

336
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,800
You believe a word of that?

337
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,280
Hair styling advice.

338
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,440
Never heard it called that before!

339
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:18,680
You think they're lying?

340
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,880
I think they had plenty of time
to concoct a story between them.

341
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,800
And an affair would topple
the beauty king's empire.

342
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:27,720
What about miss Cardiff?

343
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,280
Doesn't have an alibi and certainly
no love lost between her and the victim.

344
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:33,000
I think I found something, sir.

345
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,560
Sister boniface thinks that the killer blow
may have indicated a knowledge of anatomy.

346
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,360
Lesley canon's background checks.

347
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,080
He served in the royal army medical corps
during the war.

348
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:44,320
Did he now? — yes.

349
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,400
Do some digging into
the beauty king's army record.

350
00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:50,280
Nice work, son.

351
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,440
Help me crack this,
and that secondment's in the bag.

352
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:58,880
Something you haven't told me?

353
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,680
Ah. No, it's not what it looks like.

354
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,080
He only offered to put in a good word,
that's all.

355
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,120
Don't tell me we're not
good enough for you?

356
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:08,400
Of course not.

357
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,520
But I did come here to learn from
the cutting edge of modern policing and...

358
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,200
I feel there's more for me to learn.

359
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,880
I'd better get on to those army records.

360
00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:26,560
Sam: I am not being left on my own
to the mercies of mrs clam.

361
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,600
If dci winner solves this case

362
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,080
Felix'll be on the first train
back to London.

363
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,440
How long will this take?

364
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,000
Longer with you ranting at my shoulder.

365
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,640
Cutting edge of modern policing?

366
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:38,920
I'll give him cutting edge!

367
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,760
What's cutting edge about ruddy
rules and regulations?

368
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:42,960
We have a match.

369
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,920
Your hairs were found entangled
in the victim's watch.

370
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,640
Can you explain how they got there?

371
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,760
I imagine because she attacked me.

372
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,120
On the...

373
00:18:54,360 --> 00:18:55,440
On the day she died.

374
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:56,720
You know the rules.

375
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,680
Any more silly beggars
and you'll be disqualified, you got that?

376
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,200
The same goes for the rest of ya!

377
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:06,640
Diane: Mr canon!

378
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,480
It was you that told.

379
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,400
Are you that scared that I'm going to win?

380
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,480
Scared? Of you?

381
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,880
I'm not the one who needs upholstering.

382
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,960
I haven't finished with you!
— fabric rips

383
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,200
clodagh: Now you've done it!

384
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,240
They yell

385
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:28,880
not in the face! Oi! I
said not in the face!

386
00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:30,240
What you playing at?

387
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,040
All that over boned swimwear?

388
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,600
It reduces the waist
and accentuates the bust.

389
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:40,640
Everyone bends the rules a little.

390
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,960
But she was a sneaky Betty.

391
00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:46,880
Always going through our things,
looking for rule breakers.

392
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,320
I wasn't the only one, by any means.

393
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,080
Can I go now?

394
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,800
I've got a rehearsal. — mm.

395
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,240
Jazz music plays

396
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,440
miss grimsby's vital statistics
are 38, 25, 36.

397
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,600
About time, Glasgow, you're up next

398
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,320
miss grimsby also has
a set of her own teeth

399
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:08,600
although you wouldn't know it.

400
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,120
Better.

401
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,000
Number five. Miss Glasgow.

402
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,920
Bit more of a head toss on the walk.
T/y not to turn as you come up.

403
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,040
Lovely stuff

404
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,680
see, hair makes all the difference.

405
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,280
Starting to look like a winner now.

406
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:29,960
Timer dings

407
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,080
It seems miss Belfast was a snoop.

408
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,640
Maybe she found something
and decided to turn blackmailer?

409
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,200
Your timing couldn't be more fortuitous.

410
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,040
Oh?
— our mysteriously burnt card, perhaps?

411
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,520
The chloral hydrate treatment
clarified the letters, but...

412
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,120
No, they're too faint to make out.

413
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,280
If it's iron—gall ink or pencil, infrared
photography may be more efficacious.

414
00:20:58,360 --> 00:20:59,360
That's the bad news.

415
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:00,720
The good news is

416
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,640
I think I've identified the murder weapon.
— a—ha!

417
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,880
Footsteps approach
— oh, yes, Ruth.

418
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,200
Thank you for coming.

419
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,840
I'm intrigued to know the reason
for my summons.

420
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,200
That makes two of us.

421
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,280
Miss penny's presence is pertinent
for prop purposes.

422
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,560
The wound residue is
a mixture of wax, naptha

423
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,480
turpentine dye, lanolin and gum arabic.

424
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:22,600
Shoe Polish. — oh.

425
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,480
Black shoe Polish, to be precise.

426
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:25,600
May I?

427
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,920
Just one will suffice, yes, thank you.

428
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Right.

429
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,560
Well, I'll have you know those are
Claude Chang and cost 40 guineas.

430
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,280
My entire wardrobe cost less than that.

431
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:37,960
Yes, that had been noted.

432
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,160
Courtesy of mr button.

433
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,800
Pigskin being remarkably similar
in composition to human skin.

434
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,120
Observe. — oh, hell's bells...

435
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:47,520
Sister, no!

436
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:49,760
Behold.

437
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,120
The murder weapon has been
under our noses all this time.

438
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,760
Or rather on someone's foot.

439
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,680
Hm.
— oh, um, I'll just dab that for you.

440
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:58,680
As good as new.

441
00:21:58,760 --> 00:21:59,640
Almost.

442
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,320
Death by stiletto? You angel.

443
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,560
Which means that Scotland yard have been
on the wrong foot with Lesley canon.

444
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,600
Yes, very good.

445
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,000
Without a leg to stand on.
— they chuckle

446
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,960
no, it does rather point
to a female perpetrator.

447
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,760
Mm. The question is, where did they
dispose of the murder weapon?

448
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,000
Oh, no.

449
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,840
No self—respecting female would willingly
dispose of a pair of designer stilettos.

450
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,160
No. She spits

451
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:26,920
I'd wager she's still wearing them.

452
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,160
We need to look at all the shoes

453
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,200
of all the girls without alibis.

454
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,000
He grumbles — dog whines

455
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:49,760
dog barks

456
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,480
Tom grumbles

457
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,600
initial indications suggest it may have
been used to wipe the murder weapon.

458
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,480
Which, apropos, has been identified
as a black stiletto.

459
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,600
A shoe? Are you sure?

460
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,240
99.80/0.

461
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:05,400
Good work, sister.

462
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,280
That's a first. Albeit a bit late,
now I've nabbed our culprit.

463
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,560
This was found yards from the crime scene.

464
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,600
Who searched the area?
— me, sir.

465
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,520
It wasn't there, or I'd have seen it.

466
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,400
Captain of the ladies junior darts team
without the aid of ocular assistance.

467
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,600
Wpc button is very reliable, sir.

468
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,480
Which raises the possibility
that it could have been planted.

469
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,400
I prefer the possibility that you're
making excuses for your officer's cock—up.

470
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,440
You realise how much time you've wasted
because of your incompetence?

471
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,440
If it was down to me,
this'd be a disciplinary matter.

472
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,200
I'll get these back to the lab for tests.

473
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:43,040
And that, gentlemen...

474
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,040
Is why they shouldn't
let women join the police.

475
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,160
See if miss Glasgow's got a pair of
black stilettos and bag it as evidence.

476
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,080
And also all the shoes
of all the contestants without alibis.

477
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:54,800
Did I say that?

478
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,800
Until we've heard what
the suspect has to say

479
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,160
I don't want you wasting
any more of my time

480
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,040
and that's an order.

481
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,160
Silly girl. I was just starting to believe
she could win it.

482
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,136
It's not Sunday night
at the palladium, girls.

483
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,360
Come on, let's get back inside.
Come on, inside.

484
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,160
Shoo! Let's go.

485
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,520
We were given a direct order.

486
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:41,680
From cc lowsley.

487
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,280
Don't let Scotland
yard solve the case first.

488
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,640
Perhaps that has clouded your judgement.

489
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,400
Peggy would never miss that sash,
you know that.

490
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,120
And talking of clouded judgement

491
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,320
how...

492
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,040
He sighs

493
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,080
how about your vested interest
in helping Scotland yard solve this case?

494
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:02,400
Can't you see, he's a man
who's all mouth and no trousers?

495
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:03,960
He is a man I would emulate.

496
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,120
Ah. And there was I,
thinking we made a good team.

497
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,480
I didn't mean...

498
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,000
We do.

499
00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:13,640
Apart from your blatant disregard
of the rulebook.

500
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,160
I don't give a flying fig about the rules.
— no.

501
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:17,600
But I do.

502
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:19,960
Are you gonna grass me up?

503
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Of course not.

504
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,680
Right. Well, I'll take these.

505
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,320
And we'll see what
sister boniface has to say.

506
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:33,960
He sighs

507
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,360
sister boniface:
I'm afraid traces of shoe Polish

508
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,240
and brain tissue leave no doubt
the sash was used

509
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,320
to wipe the murder weapon clean.

510
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,360
It's all a little convenient.

511
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,040
I'll eat my hat if it wasn't planted.

512
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,160
Well, that would be more digestible
than mrs clam's cooking.

513
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,800
Right, let's see if these shoes
have a tale to tell.

514
00:25:56,360 --> 00:25:57,520
Lights, please. — yup.

515
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,880
Device buzzes faintly

516
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,400
Luckily for your digestive tract,
no signs of blood on miss Glasgow's.

517
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,040
Or any of them, for that matter.

518
00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:20,680
These girls maintain their footwear
with military precision.

519
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,560
Spit and Polish, unfortunately for us.

520
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:23,640
That's that then.

521
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,400
Well, the Polish may
have created a barrier.

522
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,440
I'll scrape it off
and see if it reveals anything.

523
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,400
I'd better get this back.

524
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,760
I can already imagine
the look on his smug face.

525
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:40,800
Moira: Aye, it's mine.

526
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:42,440
But I lost it.

527
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,280
After rehearsal on Wednesday.

528
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:46,720
One of the others pinched it, probably.

529
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,160
Are they in the habit of that?

530
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:49,680
They are with me.

531
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:51,720
When did you meet Lesley canon?

532
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,200
At miss Glasgow.

533
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,520
Your first competition,
when you came runner up.

534
00:26:58,480 --> 00:26:59,720
Pretty impressive.

535
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,360
You sure you didn't get a little leg—up
from the contest organiser?

536
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,960
Or should that be a leg over?

537
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,360
He's older than my granda.

538
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,880
You wouldn't be the first to shut her eyes
and think of england.

539
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,840
Or in this case, miss united britain?

540
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,240
In your dreams.

541
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,480
Did miss Belfast find out
and threaten to spill the beans?

542
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,040
That would have been
the end of your competition.

543
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:25,160
I'd like to see you prove it.
— door opens

544
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,680
there's no results from the shoes as yet

545
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,200
but sister boniface has confirmed

546
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,640
that this was used
to clean the murder weapon.

547
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,280
Looks like we just did.

548
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,840
I'll leave you to charge her, at least

549
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,120
while I deliver the good news
to the commissioner.

550
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,080
I didn't do it.

551
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:51,440
Off the record?

552
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:52,800
I believe you.

553
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,280
They can't put me in the jail.

554
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,360
I've a family to feed.

555
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,080
I won't let it come to that.

556
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,040
You have my word.

557
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,760
The powers that be are jumping
for joy at such a timely result.

558
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:10,880
She hasn't confessed.

559
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:12,760
She will.

560
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,080
Copper's nose.

561
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,840
I can smell guilt, and she reeked of it.

562
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,320
I get it. No one likes someone else
stealing their thunder.

563
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,880
But the met's motto is,
"we lead. Others follow."

564
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,000
Talking of which...

565
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:29,920
You still up for that transfer?

566
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:34,680
Yes.

567
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,760
That is to say, thank you.

568
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,200
Thank you, sir.

569
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,040
Congratulations.

570
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:42,600
It's what you've always wanted.

571
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,120
I'm on the vip table tonight.

572
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,240
Join me, and I'll give you the lowdown
on my firm.

573
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,240
You can't go, sarge.

574
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,280
There'll be no one to organise the systems.

575
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,120
I couldn't stay forever, Peggy.

576
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,600
Look, I'll write, and you can come visit.

577
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,920
You always wanted to see the crown jewels.

578
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,960
We can go sightseeing together.

579
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,520
My dad went to London once.

580
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,360
Didn't see a single smile all day.

581
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,520
Phone rings

582
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:17,800
Sam: Di Gillespie.

583
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,440
I'll be right there.

584
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,960
Where are you going?
— just security for tonight.

585
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,240
Automatic disqualification

586
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,480
and the end of her
career as a beauty queen.

587
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,800
You have answered my prayers, sister.

588
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,160
Or at least half a prayer.

589
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,280
It won't be enough for winner.
We need some hard evidence.

590
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,400
Now... there's nothing under the Polish.

591
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:50,520
But, fact.

592
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,400
If this is the murder weapon,
then locard's principle will prevail.

593
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,320
And there will be an exchange.

594
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:05,880
Lights! — yeah.

595
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,800
Device buzzes faintly

596
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:14,920
infuriating.

597
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,640
I never called it a principle, you know.

598
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,880
Or used the word "exchange".

599
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,960
Well... it seems to have caught on

600
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,080
and as a catchphrase, you'll have to admit
it does have a certain ring to it.

601
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,120
What has?

602
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,080
Monsieur trace is shy and microscopic.

603
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,160
And though he likes to conceal himself

604
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,640
eventually, he must emerge blinking
into the light.

605
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,240
Try beneath the leather.

606
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:41,640
Roger that.

607
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:43,080
Roger what?

608
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,320
You have read my traite.

609
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,320
You could say it's my second Bible.

610
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,680
Are you talking to yourself again?

611
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,600
I was not sure about my volume five.

612
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,240
Do you think I started to repeat myself?
— well...

613
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,200
You did go on a bit, but...

614
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:01,840
Personally, I enjoyed it.

615
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,280
Lights!

616
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,080
Device buzzes faintly

617
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:13,800
bingo!

618
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:15,920
Got her!

619
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,880
And we are live from the grounds
of slaughter Abbey

620
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,160
where, in one hour,
77 eye—riveting glamourettes

621
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,280
will vie to become miss united britain.

622
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,040
And with the enviable task of selecting
the winners

623
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,160
this year's judges.

624
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:30,840
Actor, bex Cooper.

625
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,640
Bacing driver, har/y dunbar.

626
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,840
And comedian, ter/y pepper.

627
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,000
Certainly got something to laugh about!

628
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,080
Ah, but before the eye—popping
bevy of beauties

629
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,120
we have live music from
the be vel/o brothers.

630
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,280
Jazz music plays

631
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,720
indistinct chati'er

632
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:51,680
can I have a word, please?

633
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,000
It's mine, but one of the others
must have taken it.

634
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,040
There were plenty didn't like her
apart from me.

635
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,000
You were in the exercise room
between 8 and 9pm.

636
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,480
The route back
took you past the swimming pool.

637
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,720
You're saying I killed her
over a stupid contest?

638
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:11,960
That's the game.

639
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,560
You win some, you lose some.
There's always a next time.

640
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:15,800
Not for you.

641
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,200
Clodagh's snooping reaped dividends
on this occasion.

642
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,800
Enough to get you disqualified for life.

643
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,280
It's burnt. You can't read that.

644
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:26,480
No.

645
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,760
But we can read an infrared photograph.

646
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:30,720
From carys.

647
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:32,760
"Pen—blwydd hapus mam."

648
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,200
"Happy birthday, mummy."

649
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:41,960
I didn't mean to kill her.

650
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,840
Clodagh:
Who's been a naughty girl?

651
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,600
What are you gonna snitch on me for?

652
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:54,480
I'll give you...

653
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,480
The kid didn't ruin your figure.

654
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,160
Nice card...

655
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,000
"Mam."

656
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,280
I was only 15 when I had her

657
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,640
but she was so beautiful, and she was mine.

658
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:09,880
I just couldn't give her up.

659
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,136
You'd have done the same thing in my shoes.

660
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,200
Hardly.

661
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:14,880
Unlike you, I'm still freshly packaged.

662
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,320
I'm begging you, don't say anything.

663
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,520
Not for me, but for her.

664
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,320
Her name's carys, and—...

665
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,640
I couldn't give a monkeys
for your little mistake.

666
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:25,760
You're finished.

667
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,120
Once they find out, you'll be miss nobody.

668
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,120
Loud thud — she gasps

669
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,520
owl hoots

670
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:44,760
an unlucky blow indeed.

671
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,680
You wiped your shoe on miss Glasgow's sash?

672
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,600
I found it by the pool.

673
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:50,840
So you planted it.

674
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:52,480
Surely that was risky?

675
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,000
I heard you talking.

676
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:55,720
It's burnt to a crisp.

677
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,360
Sister boniface: You'd be amazed at the
restorative powers of a chloral hydrate bath.

678
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:02,176
Sally: Do you know who did it?

679
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,720
You knew we were getting close,
so you framed an innocent woman for murder.

680
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,480
It was her or carys.

681
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,760
What chance would she have
with a mother in prison?

682
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,920
All I wanted was for her
to have a better future than mine.

683
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,720
For her to be able to succeed without...

684
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,800
Without taking her clothes off
and getting leered at!

685
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,080
I did it for my daughter.

686
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,720
Sally Ann Jones, I'm arresting you
for the murder of clodagh kilpatrick.

687
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,280
You do not have to say anything,
but anything you do say

688
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,240
may be written down
and given in evidence.

689
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,560
And you couldn't ask for
a field of shapelier fillies

690
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:45,800
than those coming under starter's orders
for this year's miss united britain stakes.

691
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,880
A veritable cornucopia of beauties

692
00:34:49,240 --> 00:34:52,000
and for the moment all the men
in the audience have been waiting for.

693
00:34:52,240 --> 00:34:55,280
The best of the peaches from the beaches

694
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,120
it's the swimwear round.

695
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,600
Now, for the facts and figures.

696
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,360
Airline stewardess, miss walton—on— thames.

697
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,520
36, 24, 36.

698
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,760
Certainly the hostess with the mostest.

699
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,600
Miss newcastle is a bookkeeper
from south shields.

700
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:16,840
Who 'd think it? Brains and beauty.

701
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,720
And from the look on the judges ' faces

702
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,800
they can put two and two together.

703
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:22,960
They muti'er

704
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,720
number two, miss Cardiff, Sally Ann j...

705
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,120
Sony, that's number five. Miss Glasgow.

706
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:31,520
Moira McDonald.

707
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,640
37, 24, 35.

708
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,640
Five feet ten of caledonian cutie.

709
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,320
Miss weston—super—mare is a secreta/y.

710
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,640
She can take down my dictation any time.

711
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,480
And shall we re verse?
— sound fades

712
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,640
You'd better have a good explanation

713
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,840
or you'll be spending the remainder
of your career directing traffic.

714
00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:08,440
She confessed.

715
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,400
Well done, inspector!

716
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,640
I had a feeling that you'd score
a last—minute goal.

717
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,200
I'm not sure what
you've been led to believe

718
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,840
but I was fully appraised
at all stages of the investigation

719
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,520
and your men
were acting under my instructions.

720
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,960
As ds livingstone can confirm.

721
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,240
I'm sure I can count on you to back me up.

722
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,160
That's not necessary.

723
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,360
Dci winner is correct.

724
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,280
I'll tell you about it later, sir.
— oh.

725
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:36,920
I can't wait.

726
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,040
I'm glad you see things my way

727
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:44,800
because we're off tonight.

728
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,360
Tonight? I thought this would take weeks.

729
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,600
Winner:
Big job just landed, and I need manpower

730
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,760
so I'll give you half an hour to pack up
your things and I'll see you at the station.

731
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,200
Yes, sir.

732
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:03,960
I suppose this is goodbye.

733
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:05,520
Merely adieu.

734
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:07,840
Now, you will come back and visit us?

735
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:09,360
Of course, sister.

736
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,040
And I will wear gloves at crime scenes

737
00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:14,720
and I will send Peggy a postcard
from all of the sights.

738
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,200
And I'll telephone.

739
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:18,720
Before nine. — he chuckles

740
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,000
Scotland yard are lucky to have you.

741
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,080
I will never forget great slaughter.
He chuckles

742
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:29,160
I can say hand on heart, this has been
an education and a privilege.

743
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,040
Right, better go
and break the news to mrs clam.

744
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,080
There's a conversation I don't envy.

745
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,960
Felix: There was no need
for you to come, mrs clam.

746
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,320
Nonsense. Someone had to see you off.

747
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:01,920
Felix chuckles

748
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,640
you won't get fresh
game where you're going.

749
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:07,800
Thank you.

750
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,280
Sandwiches for the journey.

751
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:10,800
I made your favourite.

752
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,240
At least, I couldn't remember what it was

753
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,160
so I made egg and cress.

754
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:16,680
Thank you, miss thimble.

755
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,240
He grumbles incoherently

756
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:20,760
no sharin'.

757
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,840
Thank you, Tom.
— oh, bye, sarge!

758
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,120
Oh. If you're still on for the crown jewels,
I reckon I can brave a trip to London.

759
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,240
You don't let her out of your sight, mind.

760
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,320
She'd be an innocent dove
amongst a flock of vultures.

761
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,640
Ar. — two innocent doves.

762
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:37,600
I will write.

763
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,760
Mrs clam:
You'll do more than that, I hope.

764
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,080
There's always a room for you
at the sea view.

765
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:43,160
We off, then?

766
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,440
Indistinct chati'er
— Tom grumbles incoherently

767
00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:48,400
Felix: Thank you, Tom.

768
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:49,840
Goodbye. Take care.

769
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:51,960
Indistinct chatter — bye.

770
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,760
Bright lad like you deserves better
than a bunch of amateur yokels.

771
00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:01,480
They're good people.

772
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,600
And they welcomed me
when I was a stranger.

773
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,880
Your dl's a Maverick sheriff
in a one—horse town.

774
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:08,920
And don't get me started on the nun.

775
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,760
Actually, sir,
even though our methods may be unorthodox

776
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,776
we do have the highest clean—up rate
in the county.

777
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:14,800
"Well?

778
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,480
Sounds like you've gone native.

779
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,880
Looks like I'm getting you out
not a moment too soon.

780
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,640
What're you waiting for? Chop chop!

781
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,680
And now we resume live
from miss united britain

782
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,680
where our seven remaining
eye riveting—glamourettes

783
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,160
await the judges ' decision.

784
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:46,320
In re verse order...

785
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:48,320
Third place.

786
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,320
Miss Birmingham.

787
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,360
Crowd applauds

788
00:39:58,240 --> 00:39:59,560
in second place.

789
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,760
Miss newcastle.

790
00:40:03,240 --> 00:40:05,200
Crowd applauds

791
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,920
And the winner of this year's
miss united britain is...

792
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:17,120
Miss...

793
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:18,360
Glasgo w/

794
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,680
crowd applauds

795
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:43,440
Well...

796
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,920
One prayer, at least, has been answered.

797
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,640
"The comfort of having a friend
may be taken away

798
00:40:51,720 --> 00:40:53,440
but not that of having had one."

799
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:00,560
To Felix.

800
00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:02,160
A fine officer

801
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,000
and an even finer friend.

802
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:05,680
Heah — sorely missed.

803
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,240
To sarge! — dr livingstone.

804
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:08,800
To Felix. — all: Felix.

805
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:10,080
To Felix.

806
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,320
The usual, please, George.

807
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:14,920
Sam: Did you forget something?

808
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,040
Apart from my integrity?

809
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:19,240
I understood.

810
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,240
Dci winner would not have understood.

811
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,320
He's not someone I can look up to,
never mind call a friend.

812
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:27,800
You mean...

813
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,200
He's staying!

814
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:31,920
They cheer

815
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:33,360
who is?

816
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,280
Sergeant livingstone
has come to his senses.

817
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,000
Oh, welcome home, sarge!

818
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,320
Aye! He rants incoherently

819
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,680
he continues incoherently

820
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,520
they cheer

821
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:53,960
they laugh

822
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,320
so? What do you say then, lad?

823
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:58,800
Thank you, Tom.

824
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,080
They cheer

825
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:09,400
you do realise you just volunteered
to be next year's mistress flumsy?

826
00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:13,840
Yes, she or rather "he" leads
the annual mummers parade in town

827
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,920
while being flagellated with twigs.

828
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,080
Oh, but don't worry,
the flagellation is purely symbolic.

829
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:20,640
It's a great honour.

830
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,440
Hold the front page!

831
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:26,480
I think he's pleased.

832
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:28,840
They laugh
