00:00Is there anything better than a weekend getaway?
00:17Pinting the Spitfire and that date you made me cancel?
00:20Sir, I really wish you would tell us what training will be undertaking.
00:24Is this some kind of top secret training facility?
00:28Yes and no. But mostly no.
00:32Reminds me of a girl guide camp I went to. We all got dysentery.
00:36Here comes the cavalry!
00:43Splendid to see you, Hector.
00:46Len!
00:49Welcome, friends. I'm a Len Shepherd, retired Chief Constable, active comradery guru.
00:57It's my job to turn you from this into this.
01:03You'll tackle several challenges, earning points for excellent teamwork.
01:07Each point gives you a one-second advantage over your opponents in the assault course finale.
01:14Wait. It's a competition?
01:16Even better. We are in the running for Police Team of the Year and this will decide the winner.
01:22I've always wanted to go to them posh police awards.
01:24I hesitate to ask, but who are we up against?
01:27Who are we up against?
01:28Why is it taking so long when I'm not getting anywhere?
01:37Why is it taking so long when I'm not getting anywhere?
01:49Stoington Police reporting for duty.
01:52Name's Jack Stagg.
01:54I'm sure you've heard the stories.
01:56All true.
01:57Let's get this over with, Len.
01:59You know I don't wait for anyone.
02:01Winthrop.
02:04Lowsley.
02:05That Team of the Year award is mine.
02:10Think again, Winthrop.
02:12Stoington's going down.
02:15Now.
02:45Hi, I'm Peggy, Detective Sergeant Thorne.
02:53Er, civilian names, please.
02:56Heather, we're all off duty.
02:58Everyone, er, comfy?
03:00Then, er, let us begin our story of a small village
03:03and a big investigation.
03:06Mmm.
03:07The dastardly crook Billy McCoy is terrorising the community.
03:13See, two officers join forces to take him down,
03:16but before they can work together,
03:19they must first get to know each other.
03:21So, let's follow their lead.
03:24For one point, can you work out who among us
03:28is professionally trained in ballet?
03:31Don't look at me.
03:33C.C. Winthrop says I've got two left feet.
03:35Well, it's certainly not one of us, so I can only assume...
03:39A lazy assumption's the foundation of all your policing.
03:43Will the real ballerina reveal themselves?
03:47The actual term is ballerino.
03:52You know, it's...
03:53It's a challenging discipline.
03:56Sorry, but this game is highly inappropriate.
04:00Oh, sit down.
04:01Sir, he's sharing out private business.
04:04Fine.
04:05You can go and make the tea instead.
04:07There's a good girl.
04:07So, our two officers forge their friendship.
04:18Together, they swoop to raid Billy McCoy's safe house.
04:25Just one problem.
04:26It's awfully dark inside.
04:29Guide your partner around the booby traps
04:31to gather Billy's loot.
04:37Come on, come on, come on.
04:38Steady, sir. Steady.
04:39That's right. No, left a bit.
04:40Left a bit.
04:41Go, go, get that speed.
04:42Straight on. Straight on.
04:43Come to me. Come to me.
04:44Well done, button.
04:45Oh, you're doing great, sir.
04:47Faster, hit the...
04:47What are you, shush?
04:48I'm trying to concentrate.
04:50It's going, it's going, it's going.
04:51Now, you tell me you're cut out for leadership.
04:53Oh, bad luck, mate.
04:56Oh, what are you playing at?
04:58Two, three, four, five...
05:01Oh, bravo, Heather.
05:04Two points to Starrington.
05:06One to great slaughter for a fine display of trust.
05:12OK, sir, there's a corn two feet ahead.
05:15What's that in parsnips?
05:16Parsnips?
05:17I measure distance in root vegetables.
05:19Left, beagle.
05:20My left or yours, sir?
05:22Where are you going, boy?
05:24Oh, no.
05:24Oh, no.
05:27Man down.
05:28He's fine.
05:29Walking disaster, aren't you, beagle?
05:31Yeah, sorry.
05:33My fault.
05:33Nonsense.
05:34As I always say, we rise and fall as a team.
05:37Funny.
05:38I always say a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
05:42You of all people should know that.
05:45Well, pause there with the scores even.
05:49Dry yourself off, beagle.
05:51Our story's about to get interesting.
05:54Good news.
05:57The raid was a success.
05:59Having recovered Billy's loot, the two officers retired to one of their homes to toast their triumph with a bottle of wine or two.
06:06Or five.
06:07Am I right?
06:08Actually, Jack, they won't make it past the second.
06:10At 2 a.m., somebody fires through the window, injuring one of the officers and, tragically, killing the other.
06:17Ooh, plot twist.
06:20Your task?
06:22Examine the scene of the crime.
06:24But your ranks have been reversed.
06:26Peggy and beagle are in charge.
06:29To assist with forensics, it's my pleasure.
06:32To introduce esteemed local expert.
06:37Sis...
06:37Oh, yes, that's me.
06:38Ta-da!
06:39Oh, sorry.
06:40Did I miss my cue?
06:41Backstage butterflies.
06:43Oh, dear.
06:44Poor chaps.
06:49Right.
06:50So, Sarge.
06:51Oh, I mean, Felix.
06:54Yes, boss.
06:54Right, so, maybe you could search for footprints, Sam could record the items, and, oh, there's no camera.
07:04I'm happy to create sketches of the scene, Mum.
07:08Wonderful delegating great slaughter.
07:10What's the meaning of this?
07:12Sorry, Councillor Bull, if, er, if you can't handle the demotion, then maybe you should go and make the tea.
07:23Someone's enjoying herself.
07:25Well, without a real-life victim, I must admit, nothing beats a good murder.
07:29Have you read the surviving officer's statement?
07:32Not yet.
07:33Have you found something?
07:35Well, I'm merely an observer.
07:38Couldn't possibly say.
07:43Aha!
07:46Impressive, right?
07:47Compromising the scene?
07:50Extremely.
07:50Heather's right.
07:52I must Doc Stowenton appoint.
07:54And then award you two.
07:57Jack's just found the spinning top.
07:58Calling card of Billy McCoy.
08:01Enough!
08:03You're an embarrassment.
08:04I've just backed us a point.
08:06What are you two whispering about?
08:08Oh, well, this bullet hole.
08:11Sister Boniface says it contradicts the eyewitness account.
08:14Well, um, actually, physics says it.
08:17If you observe the angle...
08:18I knew it!
08:19The nun's one of them!
08:21This competition's rigged!
08:22Don't be absurd!
08:23You're even worse at this than you were as a chief constable.
08:29Fetch our room keys.
08:30The day is over.
08:31I bet you're wondering why you got stuck with me.
08:51Er, we, er, we could, er, talk or, er, play a game.
09:03I don't know what mind games you're playing, Peggy.
09:07But I'm going to that awards ceremony and impressing the bigwigs.
09:12And nobody is getting in my way.
09:28Sir, are you in there?
09:30Morning.
09:31Everything all right?
09:32It's Cece Winthrop, sir.
09:33He's not answering.
09:34Well, some of us enjoy lying.
09:37In Stoington, we don't squander the best hours of the day.
09:45Are you in there, chief constable?
09:47Ah, I learned.
09:48Can we get the spare key, please?
09:49Um, I'm afraid the only cop he fell victim to rust.
09:53Stand back, then.
09:55They don't call me the wrecking ball for nothing.
10:04What have you got for us, sister?
10:14Cause of death.
10:15Rather nasty blow to the back of the head.
10:18Consistent with...
10:19An equally nasty bedpost.
10:23So he fell and hid his head.
10:26Drunk that.
10:27As a skunk, this is to Reggie's expression.
10:30Bloodshot eyes indicate inebriation.
10:32Blood tests should confirm.
10:34And the key was on the chest of drawers when I came in.
10:37The groundskeeper confirms that's the only one.
10:39The lock hasn't been tampered with.
10:45Winthrop must have locked the hut from inside.
10:47Is there any other way in?
10:49The windows, they are securely bolted.
10:51No trap doors or loose panels.
10:54Well, I can't say that I'm warm to the chap,
10:56but it suddenly is a tragic accident.
10:59Perhaps we should reserve our certainty soon.
11:03Billy McCoy's calling card has left beside his victims' bodies.
11:07Like Len's fictional story, it must have dropped when he fell.
11:11Well, let's see, shall we?
11:14Blood loss would have been gradual,
11:16pooling gently around the spinning top.
11:19Observation, blood spatter around the pool.
11:24And on the spinning top itself.
11:27Deduction, the blood had settled before it was impacted.
11:31Meaning Winthrop was already dead
11:33and someone else dropped the spinning top.
11:35Well, people seldom fall backwards unaided.
11:38More likely, somebody pushed him,
11:40left the spinning top and fled,
11:42contriving a locked room to cover their tracks.
11:45Stovington's chief constable was murdered.
11:48I'm sorry, sir.
11:49Local rival we assign.
11:51I'm sure C.C. Winthrop meant a great deal for you.
11:53Don't be ridiculous.
11:55It's the politics I'm worried about.
11:57I'd better go and inform Winthrop's deputy chief constable.
11:59Well, in the meantime, we'll handle this like any other murder.
12:02You will not.
12:04Until you have overwhelming evidence,
12:05Winthrop's death is an accident, officially speaking.
12:08But how are we supposed to investigate?
12:11Unofficially.
12:11That lot will be far more cooperative
12:13if they don't suspect their suspects.
12:15I'm not answering to you.
12:20We're the same rank.
12:21Look, relax.
12:21No one's answering to anyone.
12:22We're just trying to establish how this accident happened.
12:26How can we help, sir?
12:28We found this in C.C. Winthrop's hut.
12:31And do you think he was killed by a fictitious villain?
12:34Actually, no.
12:35No, we think that he might have slipped on it.
12:37Did anyone hear a crash?
12:40Obviously not.
12:41I'd have been there in five seconds flat.
12:42Was your boss a big drinker?
12:45Seems like he was on the vodka last night.
12:47Vince a borderlet to his final breath.
12:50I gather you two had history.
12:52Ancient history.
12:54Winthrop knew about my no-alcohol policy.
12:57He insisted on hut inspections to enforce it.
13:01Really?
13:02Well, he didn't inspect our huts.
13:04Because nobody grossed you up.
13:05I would never.
13:06Look, I think everyone's still in a bit of shock.
13:09Why don't we wrap this up elsewhere?
13:12Right.
13:14Write it down, then.
13:17Vodka was mine.
13:19Who cares?
13:20Well, I'm sure your boss did.
13:25Winthrop wasn't bothered about rules.
13:27He was waiting for an excuse.
13:32Careful, sir.
13:33That cologne's imported from Djibouti.
13:34Oh, dear, Jackie boy.
13:40Look.
13:42We can share it.
13:44And you were so close to that promotion.
13:47Let's have it, then.
13:58But you're glad he's dead.
13:59But I'd be relieved, too.
14:01He sounds like a nightmare.
14:03Couldn't have had a superstar climbing the ranks behind him.
14:05That's the old guard for you.
14:06So your gaffer's the same, then?
14:08What, Loseley?
14:09Yeah, I can't stand the sod.
14:10I guess the grass isn't always greener.
14:14At least you've got that button, girl.
14:16She's a bit of all right, eh?
14:18Careful.
14:19Relax, mate.
14:20I'll let you keep her.
14:22Thanks.
14:23Right.
14:25Are we ducking out for a pint, then?
14:26It's 10am, Jay.
14:28How thirsty are you?
14:31You're saying I've got a problem?
14:33What?
14:35It's all like a drink to unwind.
14:37It's not easy being everyone's hero.
14:51So, we had to relocate Sister Body first to avoid suspicion.
14:54Yes, alas, before vanishing into thin air,
14:57the killer cleaned up expertly,
14:59leaving no trace but the spinning top.
15:01Which Jack and Winthrop clashed over yesterday.
15:04Maybe Jack killed him and then left it there out of spite.
15:07But why would he make it look like an accident
15:09only to leave a clue?
15:10Good question.
15:12OK, what else have we got?
15:14I found a letter in the bin outside the hut.
15:17Well, at least I think it's a letter.
15:19Secret investigation and a jigsaw puzzle.
15:21Must be my birthday.
15:23No, no.
15:23I hope I'm not interrupting.
15:30Oh, no.
15:31We were just team bonding.
15:33So, we're all agreed.
15:35The contest will resume.
15:38One of our opponents just died.
15:41I mean, Stownton, a persuasive bunch.
15:44And they really want that award.
15:45Well, I'm sure it won't be that bad.
15:58Following the shooting, the police swoop on Billy McCoy.
16:01But, unwilling to come quietly, he takes a hostage.
16:07Kindly played by Felix.
16:09But I didn't exactly know what I was volunteering for.
16:11To arrest Billy and free his hostage, you must find a way past his vicious hounds.
16:19This one's mine.
16:20Makes no odds who I take down.
16:22Ah, steady, Heather.
16:24One simple touch sends them back to the start.
16:27Ready?
16:35Okay.
16:35You go left.
16:37I'll go right.
16:37All right.
16:38Just don't do anything to antagonise our suspect.
16:40I said stay out of my way.
17:10Wonderful.
17:15That's a point to great slaughter.
17:18Let's see how Stowington fare.
17:21Chill up, Sammy boy.
17:23No shame in being runners-up.
17:25Ready?
17:27No, wait, wait, wait.
17:28Something's wrong.
17:30Hey, it's just a game.
17:33Oh.
17:34I'm all right.
17:36Just need a break.
17:40All right, everyone.
17:41Take five.
17:42It's not so easy playing the victim, is it?
18:08Should be used to it.
18:11Just thought things might be different now.
18:14Without CC Woundrop?
18:17That wound looks fresh.
18:20When we arrived yesterday, he was in a worse mood than ever.
18:24Chop, chop, Beagle.
18:25We'd like to unpack sometime today.
18:27Let me carry mine, sir.
18:32I can't watch.
18:33I'm happy to do it.
18:35It would be quicker in two trips.
18:37Where's the entertainment in that?
18:48Almost on my hand to shreds, but I didn't crack.
18:50I never cracked.
18:54Please.
18:58Allow me.
19:04So, do you know why he singles you out for mistreatment?
19:08I'm sure all recruits get picked on.
19:11This is bullying.
19:12And he runs the risk of losing a very promising officer.
19:17When policing's in my blood, I'd never quit.
19:19No matter how miserable I am.
19:21If I could give you some advice, as a friend.
19:25What's this?
19:27First aid or another trick?
19:28It's all right.
19:29Felix has just...
19:29Oh, pretending to be your best mate to throw you off your game?
19:32Yeah.
19:33Just said that shit from his partner.
19:35That wasn't my intention at all.
19:37Do you know what?
19:38Just, I didn't fall for it.
19:40Can't trust anyone but yourself.
19:49Is it possible Winthrop locked himself in after he was attacked?
19:53No, he died instantly.
19:54Plus, that doesn't explain what the spinning top was doing there.
19:57So, we don't know how it was done, but we have two motives.
19:59Winthrop was blocking Jack's promotion,
20:01and he was equally bullying his new recruit.
20:05It's a beagle.
20:07Oh, right, right.
20:09But why would you kill your boss with six other officers around?
20:11You wouldn't.
20:12This is probably an argument that escalated.
20:14Until one of them snapped.
20:15Am I the only one who feels sorry for Stillington?
20:18They all seem so lonely.
20:20Well, little wonder when the chief constable had them spying on each other.
20:24It's a report addressed to the victim.
20:27Gained access to their baggage,
20:29beagle,
20:31Pax Light,
20:32unexplained rag,
20:34maybe infantile comforter.
20:36Oh, he's got a blankie.
20:39Concealed alcohol in Jack's suitcase.
20:42Probable rule violation.
20:44So, Heather was the grass?
20:45Oh, I sneaked a peek at her pocketbook.
20:48The Fs are unmistakable.
20:49Did she write anything else?
20:50Oh, only some cursory observations
20:55about the three of you.
20:59But don't leave us hanging.
21:00Well, um, it appeared to Sergeant Thorne
21:08that, um, Peggy is a doormat.
21:13Felix has no discernible talents.
21:16Ouch.
21:16And, um, Sam's staggering lack of intelligence
21:21is mitigated only by his boyish good looks.
21:26That is outrageous.
21:28Oh, Spiros.
21:30What?
21:30I'm as insulted as you two.
21:33Anyway, the important bit is
21:34why Winthrop felt the need to spy on his own team.
21:37Budden,
21:38we need to have a word with your roommate.
21:41Do we have to, Sarah?
21:42It's true.
21:48That ogre made me do his bidding.
21:52Shameful waste of my talents.
21:54Well, there must have been a reason.
21:57I assumed that was the reason.
22:01They try and break our spirits.
22:04We dig our heels in
22:05and work twice as hard as a lot of them.
22:07Are you talking about men?
22:10Clearly, I misjudged your
22:11sparkling intellect.
22:15I'm sorry that your boss treated you badly,
22:17but Inspector Gillespie respects everyone.
22:20If he did,
22:21he'd drop the pretense
22:22and admit this was a murder investigation.
22:25Very well.
22:25You're capable of standing up to anyone.
22:28Winthrop had something on you.
22:31If there was a secret,
22:34when earth would I tell you?
22:36If this was a murder investigation,
22:37you wouldn't have a choice.
22:38I know the law.
22:39This line of inquiry is a dead end.
22:41Sorry, Heather.
22:44The inspector,
22:45Sam,
22:47doesn't want to invade your privacy.
22:50Do you?
22:53No.
22:53I just need to know
22:55if it's pertinent to C.C. Winthrop's death.
22:58Fine.
23:05Winthrop had information
23:06that could destroy
23:07the only thing that matters.
23:09My career.
23:12But it's not relevant.
23:14You have my word.
23:17Sam.
23:19Now, stand aside.
23:21I have a competition to win.
23:22Do you reckon she'll tell her colleagues
23:26they're all murder suspects?
23:31Oh, I'm sensing some tension.
23:35This does happen sometimes
23:36in team building.
23:37On the bright side,
23:40Billy McCoy was successfully detained.
23:44Alas,
23:44his girlfriend gave him an alibi
23:46for the night of the shooting.
23:49Further evidence must be gathered.
23:5120 items scattered around the grounds,
23:55each worth a point.
23:57Let's split up.
23:58We'll find them faster.
24:00That's not in the spirit of unity.
24:03I've been thinking.
24:05Remember how uncomfortable Heather was
24:07when Len started sharing our secret talents?
24:09Oh, yes.
24:09Ballet.
24:11Please continue.
24:12Well,
24:12there's only one way Len had that information.
24:16He's got our personnel files.
24:18Of course.
24:19Anything the suspects are hiding
24:20must be under files.
24:31Where's the lockpick when you need one?
24:37Oh, bravo, sister.
24:41Sorry for adding to your list of sins.
24:44I'm sure the Lord won't begrudge me
24:45one weekend of fun.
24:46In the pursuit of justice, of course.
24:49I found our files.
24:51And here are the stointment.
24:53Ah.
24:56Empty.
24:59Looks like someone beat us to it.
25:01It's just full of dusty old case files.
25:04I'm sorry, sir.
25:22We're trying to investigate discreetly,
25:24but the thing is,
25:24the suspects are all trained detectives.
25:26Well, at least tell me
25:27we're on course for tea over here.
25:29Well, I believe
25:30that's every last item here.
25:34Unprecedented.
25:36I only wish you'd worked together.
25:39Winning's what matters, right?
25:40We get the points.
25:42Your head start in tomorrow's assault course
25:44appears insurmountable.
25:48Ah.
25:48It's always next to you, Sammy.
25:50No.
26:01Oh.
26:02Sorry.
26:03Sit, Peggy, please.
26:04I feel I should say thank you
26:11for calling off your inspector earlier.
26:15Oh.
26:15You're welcome.
26:18The observations I made about you
26:20were unfounded.
26:23If you wish to rebuke me,
26:24you have 15 seconds.
26:26Don't be daft.
26:28I forgive you.
26:31My dad always says,
26:33only take criticism from those who know you.
26:36You're one of the most impressive officers
26:39I've ever met,
26:40let alone female ones.
26:42But, well,
26:44we don't actually know each other,
26:46do we?
26:53Before I joined the force,
26:56I made a brief foray
26:57into the racy modelling industry.
27:02Now I live with that regret.
27:07A detective and a model.
27:10You're like a superhero.
27:12Of course I understand
27:14why you wanted to keep it to yourself.
27:16I thought I burnt all the photographs,
27:18but nothing got past Winthrop.
27:24We come from a family of policemen.
27:27I know how their vulgar boys' club operates.
27:31We do what we can to survive.
27:34They're not all like Winthrop.
27:36Even your colleagues might surprise you if you give him a chance.
27:43I see enormous potential in you, Peggy Button.
27:47But be careful.
27:50Your trusting nature may be your downfall.
27:52It was right in front of us.
28:03The living room,
28:04the two officers,
28:05the calling card.
28:06Did you steal a fire from Len's office?
28:09Well,
28:10in my defence,
28:10you did commission me for a burglary.
28:12Sorry,
28:13I'm not following.
28:14Len's story
28:15isn't so fictional after all.
28:17Remarkable.
28:27An inch-perfect reconstruction.
28:29So,
28:30ten years ago,
28:31you were Sterrington's chief constable
28:32when two of your officers were shot.
28:35And this happened in Sergeant Harrison's home,
28:38where he sadly died.
28:40Harrison was a good man.
28:42But his partner survived.
28:44Inspector Winthrop.
28:46The spinning top,
28:47left at the scene,
28:49that wasn't the calling card of Billy McCoy,
28:51a figment of your imagination,
28:53but of the very real Jimmy McGrath.
28:57Yeah,
28:58his alibi was paper-thin.
29:02But so was our evidence.
29:04Just the patchy testimony of that drunkard.
29:08All this team-building twaddle,
29:10just to mess with me.
29:11I hoped it might jog your memory of that night.
29:14Don't you want justice?
29:15Of course I do.
29:17But you screwed up the investigation.
29:18Because of your unreliable narrative.
29:21Sister Boniface.
29:22She's a nun,
29:23Len!
29:27Be honest.
29:28Did you take a bribe?
29:33Move on with your life.
29:35You're not a copper anymore.
29:37I'll always be a copper.
29:41I didn't retire.
29:44Winthrop had me pushed out for failing to protect my team.
29:48The case went unsolved.
29:50So,
29:51you spent the next ten years raking over every detail,
29:55challenging scores of detectives to find a breakthrough,
29:59under the guise of a team-building course.
30:01But why invite Winthrop now,
30:03after all these years?
30:05Jimmy McGrath's on his deathbed.
30:07This was my last chance to nail him.
30:08So,
30:09I brought in the best of the best.
30:12And the man you always blamed.
30:13The man that took your job.
30:16I was the failure.
30:17He was the hero.
30:19Wounded,
30:20trying to save his dying partner.
30:22Our paths were on different trajectories.
30:24Trajectories.
30:28Trajectories.
30:36Am I in heaven?
30:38Or hell?
30:39One can only speculate.
30:43But your present injuries barely agrees.
30:46Your partner wasn't so fortunate.
30:48I tried to save him.
30:49Threw myself in front of the gun.
30:51Your blood spatter tells a different story.
30:53I've been drinking.
30:55Might be a bit fuzzy on the details.
30:57Like the gunman in the window?
30:59No.
31:00That bit's true.
31:02Curious.
31:03How his bullet changed the course in mid-air.
31:07Entering the wall.
31:08At an angle defying all physics.
31:12Well, maybe it ricocheted.
31:15Or maybe the shooter had extraordinarily long arms.
31:18How else can one explain your gunshot residue burn
31:21from a gunfight at point-blank range?
31:23You don't know what you're talking about.
31:26You weren't there.
31:27No.
31:29And neither was the gunman.
31:35Oh, bullet holes.
31:38Sister?
31:38I'm sorry, Len.
31:42The evidence against your suspect was weak because he was innocent.
31:46Winthrop planted the spinning top and shot himself to cover up the truth.
31:50That he killed his own partner.
31:53No.
31:54No.
31:54He wouldn't have.
31:55So, Len had no idea.
32:03Apparently not.
32:04But he already blamed Winthrop for costing him his career.
32:07So he had a motive.
32:08So did Heather.
32:09Winthrop was blackmailing her.
32:11Her secret's not important, but if you must know, she'll understand.
32:15Well, any motives remain academic until we determine how the killer escaped a locked hut.
32:22Could they have duplicated the key?
32:25Not without planning.
32:26This wasn't premeditated.
32:28Perhaps the killer stayed in here the whole night.
32:31No.
32:31All the suspects were present when I opened the door.
32:33What if they pumped a toxic gas through the air vent, so Winthrop passed out, then a special contraption fired the spinning top?
32:40Yes.
32:41Well, um, there's certainly something to be said for thinking outside the box.
32:48Ah!
32:48There you are.
32:50Good morning, sir.
32:51Um, I believe we're on the cusp of a breakthrough.
32:54What?
32:55This is no time for a murder investigation.
32:58Your soul course is about to begin.
33:00Go, go, and go!
33:08Bit of a head scratcher, this one, isn't it?
33:12Even I can't figure out how a key passed through a solid wall.
33:17Sorry, a key?
33:20Well, clearly the killer locked the door on the way out and then came up with this fiendish plan to return the key to the top of the chest of drawers.
33:30But that's the obvious part.
33:34Yes.
33:35Oh, obvious.
33:36Well, here we are.
33:48The final showdown.
33:50First team to cross the finish line wins.
33:55First full team.
33:56I'll carry these two if I have to.
33:58Places, please!
34:03I've been thinking.
34:05When the dust settles, there may be a place for you in Stoington.
34:10Are you serious?
34:10Those buffoons in great slaughter are holding you back.
34:15What do you think?
34:21I'm flattered, Heather.
34:23Thank you, but...
34:25If I have to choose between my career and my friends...
34:28I'll choose the buffoons.
34:30Understood.
34:34This will have no bearing on the humiliation you're about to endure.
34:41I wish you good luck.
34:43You've got more chance of catching your phantom murderer.
34:44One, two, three.
35:02Great slaughter!
35:03Sisi Wimkrop's death feels like a contradiction.
35:21You know, unplanned attack made to look like an accident,
35:24but yet leaving the spinning top fields...
35:26Premeditated.
35:26Yeah.
35:27Which clearly indicates murder.
35:28Come on!
35:33Up you get!
35:34Up you get!
35:35Put yourself together, Beagle car.
35:49The spinning top was no coincidence.
35:51This must be about Winthrop, killer's partner.
35:53But only Len was around ten years ago,
35:55and he never knew the truth.
35:58Oh, my hand's killing me, help!
36:16You know I don't like physical contact!
36:20Oh!
36:20Oh!
36:21Oh!
36:21Oh!
36:21Oh!
36:22Oh!
36:22Oh!
36:22Oh!
36:23Oh!
36:23Oh!
36:24Oh!
36:24Oh!
36:25Oh!
36:25Oh!
36:26Oh!
36:26Oh!
36:27Oh!
36:27Oh!
36:27Oh!
36:28Oh!
36:28Oh!
36:28Oh!
36:33Stringo!
36:37Off me, I can manage!
36:38Oh, there's nothing more manly than stubborn pride!
36:41What did you say?
36:42Swat by tomorrow and the same team!
36:44Come on, Great Slaughter!
36:45Get stuck in!
36:49What's she doing back here?
36:50No!
36:54Oh!
36:55Sister!
36:56So, I don't think Len did this.
36:58Yes!
36:58But, who would leave a spinning top?
37:01Well, it was only a tool to engineer the locked room.
37:04The perpetrator had to abandon the top itself, but they absconded with the string after using
37:10it to transport the key back through the grill and onto the bedside table.
37:13That's, uh, that's kind of brilliant.
37:15I mean, I myself couldn't pull the string swiftly enough to release the top.
37:18Not without injury, anyway.
37:19Whoa!
37:20Whoa!
37:21Whoa!
37:22Oh, sir!
37:23Are you all right?
37:24Yeah, I'm fine.
37:25I'm fine.
37:26Just a bit of rope burn.
37:27Just a bit of rope burn.
37:29Please.
37:34Oh!
37:35He must have heard us!
37:36Don't come any closer!
37:46Wait!
37:47Wait!
37:48Look, you said policing was in your blood.
37:51Is that why you stole the personnel files?
37:53Are you related to Sergeant Harrison?
37:55The child's spinning top that Winthrop found at two in the morning.
37:58It was yours.
38:00Was Sergeant Harrison your father?
38:02That living room was so familiar.
38:10It didn't click two hours later, but the spinning top.
38:13I used to have one just like it.
38:15And then you saw the way that Winthrop reacted when Sister Bonifest poked holes in the evidence.
38:20Is that when you confronted him?
38:22He was drunk.
38:23Said he hadn't touched a drop in ten years.
38:25Not since the night he shot my dad.
38:30His son?
38:30There was no one else there.
38:32Tell me the truth.
38:37Joking around.
38:39I didn't know my pistol was loaded.
38:42He was my best friend.
38:43You're a monster.
38:48Read the word of this and I swear I'll kill you!
38:52You didn't mean for him to die.
39:05I should have called for help.
39:06I should have, but instead I did the same cowardly thing he did back then.
39:10So you cleaned up the evidence and staged the scene.
39:15I cleaned up the evidence and staged the scene.
39:18All right.
39:48Yet, the spinning top betrayed you.
39:58I only ever wanted to help people, but all I do is make things worse.
40:01No! That's not true.
40:04We need you, Beagle.
40:07She's right, mate.
40:08Listen, Rupert.
40:10Whenever Winthrop squandered his talent, chasing personal glory,
40:15your father forgave him.
40:18He was a true team player, and I've let him down.
40:22I've ruined my career.
40:24I disgraced the uniform. Dad would be ashamed of me.
40:27Actually, actually, I think he'd be proud of you.
40:29Oh, yes. Yes, agreed.
40:31If he forgave Winthrop's flaws, he could forgive your mistakes too.
40:36If he could see what a fine officer you've become,
40:39one that believes in doing the right thing.
40:42PC Beagle, I need you to come down and make things right.
40:48How can I?
40:49By working with me.
40:51You know it is my duty to uphold the law.
40:54You know this because you took the same oath as me.
40:57Show me that it still means something to you.
41:00I just wanted to let you know everything you told us stays confidential.
41:27Thank you, Peggy.
41:31Though I'm not sure keeping secrets has helped my cause.
41:42Bravo, dream team!
41:45Finally put my mind at rest.
41:47If only I'd instilled my old gang with your esprit de corps.
41:51So, what are you going to do next, old chap?
41:55Now the case is sold, I shall have to find something else to live for.
42:00I believe you've already found it.
42:02You make a splendid camaraderie guru.
42:05Agreed.
42:06You're a natural, Len.
42:07Really?
42:09You don't think I'm an embarrassing old cheese ball?
42:13No, you're a natural, Len.
42:15Oh, on that note, as neither team finish the assault course,
42:22I'm afraid I'm going to have to crown Stovington champions on points.
42:28Well, they may need a couple of minutes.
42:30Right, ready to go home?
42:46Oh, fine, fine.
42:49Sir, you're not still moping about the team of the year thing, are you?
42:52Losing an award I can accept, but losing it to Stovington,
42:58I'll never be able to show my face at the clubhouse again.
43:01But we did solve an impossible murder and rectify an historic injustice.
43:06Yes, well, I suppose two out of three isn't too disastrous.
43:11Oh, and we discovered a ballerino in our act.
43:16Honestly, Felix, did you lie about being a ballerino
43:18just to liven up your old CV?
43:19Bravo!
43:35Did you wear a tee tee, Sarge?
43:37His tights must be terribly restricted.
43:40And this is why I don't share my hobbies.
43:43I'm all for it.
43:44I just want you to introduce me to some of your ballerina friends.
43:47Yeah, you're all Philistines.
