YMMV / Midsomer Murders S 22 E 4

• Magnificent Bastard: Lisa Jarret and Jack Baldwin had their families lives ruined by the immoral business practices of Ventuity Gambling. Following their attempts to face them legally failing, along with fellow victim Samira Mallick, they turned to revenge against those responsible. Setting themselves up in Midsomer under the unassuming identities of an overly helpful busybody and a homeless lout, the pair carefully studied their targets for several months, right under everyone's noses. Inspired by the local Scarecrow contest, they planned to each kill their targets in one swoop and disguise it as the work of serial killer posing their victims like Scarecrows. Unforeseen difficulties meaning only Lisa succeeded in killing Naomi Ashworth, undeterred after carefully posing for hours as one of the Scarecrows on his lawn, Jack succeeded in disabled the security and killed the selfish Reverend Hayden. Needing a quick alibi for the third murder, Jack improvised pretending to be drunk and disorderly to ensure a night in the cells, whilst Lisa waited at the station for him. Foiled within seconds of killing their final target, Lisa and Jack remorselessly accepted their defeat as "one throw of the dice to many."
