00:00You
00:30Gotcha
01:00Peeping Tom, peeping Tom
01:04You complete and utter
01:10Burry turd
01:30Look at this, another busy night for the Swan. Thank you.
01:52What's this? It's the Stratford Star.
01:54Stratford's mysterious
01:56cape crusader was out again last night
01:58proving he's swan in a million
02:00tackling foul play
02:02of all kinds. That's very good.
02:04Frank, I think you met him. Lucky you.
02:06Last night the Swan
02:08prevented five phone thefts
02:10stopped three graffiti taggers
02:12and turned up a job we really needed
02:14I hope that feather brain realises what he's cost us
02:16It was one mistake, Frank
02:18and sometimes you can look a little bit
02:20A little bit what?
02:22What happened to that tracker you put in the parcel?
02:24How's that doing?
02:26It's not connecting
02:28Is that because it was a cheap piece of kit?
02:30We're being frugal
02:32Did you turn it on, Frank?
02:34That's what I said
02:35Have you updated the client?
02:37Yes, I have
02:39He said
02:41Where is it?
02:42We are
02:43No better than the useless police
02:46End quote
02:47And then he sacked us
02:48With immediate effect
02:50On the bright side we saved him the embarrassment of wearing that watch he sent out for
02:55One of a kind
02:56Thank goodness
02:58Interesting
02:59One local resident, Thea Williams, 24, barrister
03:03At willow warbler coffee
03:05It's at barista
03:07At willow warbler coffee
03:09Is so keen to meet this one that she's offering a significant reward for anyone who can unmask him
03:15How significant?
03:17Thanks for meeting with us
03:20No, thank you
03:22If anyone can unmask him, PIs can, right?
03:24Well, we'll try
03:25For the reward?
03:26Oh, of course
03:27You're professionals
03:28Well, I am
03:29So am I
03:31So tell us about your experience then
03:33Apparently, according to the local newspaper, you've met him
03:36Yeah
03:37I was walking home one day down by the river
03:39And then some kids cycled past and grabbed my phone
03:41Oh
03:42I screamed for help and then suddenly
03:44The swan appeared
03:46Any distinguishing features?
03:48Long neck?
03:49Feathers?
03:50He had his mask on
03:51I did see him smile though
03:53That's when I knew
03:55Knew what?
03:57Every superhero needs a love interest
03:59Yeah
04:00Tell us, do you know anyone else who's been helped by him?
04:05Er, there's Vernon at our LCS
04:08A local comic shop
04:10Comic timing
04:11I love it there
04:12It's such a nerdy, happy place
04:15What are you talking about?
04:18You're a liar
04:19I have reliable sources saying you know him
04:22Like, Clark Kent
04:23Knows Superman
04:24April, that's ridiculous
04:26Er, you like the sad old Butler guy then?
04:30Oh, or the, erm, Doobie Gadget Man?
04:32Ugh, it's all so tragic
04:34I thank you not to come into my shop and insult the magnificent universes that we love
04:39Yet again
04:40Yeah, yeah, insulted, etc
04:42Can we hurry up? I've got a deadline
04:43PHONE RINGS
04:46Oh!
04:47Sorry
04:48It's, er
04:49It's a lovely scarf
04:51It wouldn't suit you
04:56I've got customers
04:57I'll be with you in a minute
04:59Look, love
05:00Er, don't patronise me
05:01I'm not one of your damsels in distress
05:02Look, you can tell the Swan
05:05That he, like you
05:08Can run
05:09But he can't hide
05:13Oh, hello
05:17You looking for a story?
05:18I could give you a call
05:22Hey, Verm
05:23What's up, my man?
05:24No, you're the man
05:25New additions?
05:26Yeah, you're gonna open them right now, aren't you?
05:29Zach!
05:30Snoozing
05:31Mate, wake up!
05:32We've got new additions
05:34My son
05:37Rather more somnolent these days
05:39Even by art student standards
05:41My son, Frank Miller
05:43Yeah
05:44Erm, is there anything I can help you with?
05:46Or are you just perusing, as Beetle Boots said to Captain Diatom?
05:49Aha, did he?
05:51Yeah
05:52I'm, erm, I'm Frank Shakespeare
05:53This is Lou Hathaway
05:54Oh, I'm Frank Hathaway
05:55Erm, erm
05:56I'm Frank Hathaway
05:57Lou Shakespeare
05:58And we're private investigators
05:59Yeah, and our current client is really keen for us to identify the Swan
06:03They thought you might be able to help with that
06:05Well, doesn't everyone?
06:06I can't, I'm afraid
06:08He helped tackle some thieves that were stealing my bag once
06:10That's it
06:11Where was that?
06:12The river path
06:13And, and Zach, erm, saw him stop some kids from graffitiing our shutters
06:17Haven't so much as spoken to him, I'm afraid
06:19Yes!
06:20I knew Barbell Boy would get him
06:22Wham! Pow!
06:23Ha ha ha ha ha ha
06:28Hey
06:33Any joy with Vern?
06:34Well, there's a rumour going round
06:37It's him
06:39No way
06:40I mean, he's a nice guy, but I don't think hero
06:44You know?
06:45Hmm
06:50Oh
06:51Hello
06:53Oh
06:54We meet again
06:56Did we meet before?
06:58April Affair
06:59I'm a freelance journalist and investigative
07:01Oh?
07:02And I need a coffee
07:04Service
07:06Oh
07:08Hello
07:09What would you like?
07:10Oh
07:11What?
07:12I think you know
07:13The usual then
07:15Coming up
07:21So, erm
07:22You're looking for the swan too?
07:24Two?
07:25Oh
07:26Perfect
07:27I love competition
07:28Which paper?
07:29Oh no, we're not journalists
07:30We are private investigators
07:31Investigating for a client
07:33Intriguing
07:34Well
07:35Seems as though we're chasing the same price
07:36How about we share leads?
07:37Can I have a card?
07:38Oh
07:39Yes
07:40No
07:41I've got one
07:42There you go
07:43And here's mine
07:44Thank you
07:45Thank you
07:46I dare say you'll appreciate professional help
07:52Professional help?
07:55The cheek
08:00We'll work this out ourselves
08:01Thank you very much
08:02Yeah, too right
08:03So did you notice
08:04Vernon's son in the shop?
08:06Zach?
08:07Yeah
08:08Yeah, he had all the hero moves
08:10And
08:11Vernon said he's always tired
08:12Which he would be
08:13If you were out catching criminals at night
08:14Wouldn't you?
08:15Or
08:16If you're working a second job
08:17I've seen him in the Mucky Mallard
08:19Collecting glasses
08:20He's new
08:21Rubbish
08:22Okay
08:23Well what about Van Man?
08:24He was mad about heroes
08:25And he was
08:26You know
08:27Quite muscly
08:28Oh
08:29Was he?
08:30Didn't notice
08:31I'm just saying
08:32You know
08:33Oh
08:34Hello
08:35April
08:36Progress
08:37Pros
08:38Don't waste time
08:39I found out who the swan is
08:40How?
08:41Who?
08:42Who is it?
08:43Oh
08:44Frank
08:47It's the swan
08:48Frank are you getting this?
08:53Yeah
08:54It's a terrible line
08:55Anyway look
08:56My source is coming to tell all about the swan
08:59My office
09:006pm
09:01Do join us
09:02Oh
09:05Thank you
09:06Thank you very much
09:07You're welcome
09:08You'll be there then
09:10What?
09:11Where?
09:12Sorry?
09:14My office
09:156pm
09:32She wants a cut of the reward? We're not going
09:50Well if April finds him first we'll get nothing
09:53Her meeting is not till 6pm
09:56We've got a few hours to find him ourselves
09:59And you've got that photo of him
10:01You saw the swan?
10:02Yeah
10:05Oh
10:06Well no I didn't really get a chance to zoom in
10:08I think I can see him
10:10Is that a pigeon?
10:11Fordos won't help us anyway
10:13If he's in disguise we need to get closer
10:15Yes
10:16We need to lure him out
10:17Yes
10:18And I have an idea
10:31To work
10:32Hi, hey
10:33Oh
10:34That's in my hat
10:35Oh
10:36Ah no no
10:37Ha ha
10:38Go for that
10:39Go for that
10:40Hey, hey
10:41Hey, hey
10:42Oh
10:43That's in my hat

11:00Oh
11:01Ha ha
11:02Go for that
11:03Go for that
11:08Hooray
11:09Ha ha ha ha
11:21It's a Dipply-Docus surely
11:23Looks like the Turing Shroud
11:28Or a llama
11:33Oh
11:35Come on Frank
11:38It's been three hours
11:40We're not going anywhere yet
11:41Alright
11:46If you had a superpower
11:49What would it be?
11:51I don't know
11:52Well
11:53That's the big question
11:54Mmm
11:55See flying
11:56Strong possibility
11:57Very good
11:58Got it
11:59Necromancy
12:00What?
12:01With dead people?
12:02Yeah
12:03And talking to them
12:04Talking to dead people
12:05Oh right
12:06Yes
12:07Mmm
12:08Bit morbid
12:09But I suppose you'd solve the murders faster
12:11Well you could get the answer off the corpse
12:13Mmm
12:14Ask them
12:15What about you?
12:16Me?
12:17I've already got one
12:18Yeah?
12:19Mmm
12:20I'm a mind reader
12:21Oh
12:22What?
12:23I am
12:24Come on then
12:25Go on
12:26Mmm
12:27Mmm
12:30Mmm
12:31You're wondering if I'm going to offer you the last one of these?
12:34Sure, wrong
12:35Do you want the last one of these?
12:37Yes please
12:38You're also thinking
12:43It's never a great idea to cut off your nose to spite your face
12:46Especially when there's money to lose
12:48Money you need
12:49Do we go and see April?
12:50You've got the address?
12:51You've got it now
12:52Oh yeah
12:53There we go
12:54There we go
12:55There we go
12:56There we go
12:57There we go
12:58Stupid temporary traffic lights
12:59I'll tell you what you should have done
13:01Should have run an old town hanger left
13:02That's one way
13:03All right
13:04Down bridge street to the roundabout
13:05Well I'll tell you what next time I'm going to do
13:06There we go
13:07There we go
13:08Why don't you drive?
13:09Oh no you can't
13:10You're banned
13:11I'll tell you what you should have done
13:28Should have run an old town hanger left
13:29That's one way
13:30All right
13:31Down bridge street to the roundabout
13:32Well I'll tell you what
13:33Next time why don't you drive
13:34Oh no you can't
13:35You're banned
13:36Call an ambulance
13:39Hello
13:44Ambulance please
13:46And police
13:47And a white cape
14:01Yeah but it could have been anyone
14:03Yeah
14:04Tons of men running around Stratford in feathers and tights
14:07Right put a call out
14:09All cars
14:10Anyone sees a swan
14:11Arrest him
14:12Meddling idiot's gone too far this time
14:14Well actually that idiot has done some really good things
14:17So I'm just saying
14:19Why would he want to murder someone?
14:20Protect his identity
14:23Obviously Miss Lefeux was on to him
14:25And now we'll be too
14:27He thinks the police are so inept
14:29I'll show him how epped we really are
14:32Him and his black and white buddy
14:35Black and white what?
14:36Black and white what?
14:37He's what?
14:38Ah
14:39You haven't heard about the magpie
14:41He's this one sidekick
14:42No no
14:43We heard it was the lesser mustachioed grey tit
14:47You really are quite the twitcher
14:50Aren't you Frank?
14:51Leave the proper bird hunting to the big boys
14:53Yeah?
14:56What now?
14:58Do we still want to try and unmask this one?
15:00We need to talk to Thea
15:16Yeah, cheers
15:18Well?
15:19The reward still stands
15:21Might still be able to pay the bills this month
15:23Did you tell her he's now a murderer?
15:25A suspected murderer?
15:27This one's a superhero, he's not a villain
15:29Er, come on
15:31We saw someone in a white cape running away
15:33So?
15:34What about the magpie?
15:35What?
15:36There's someone called the magpie now
15:38Oh
15:39Like that tag on the bus stop
15:41Who is the magpie?
15:43For all we know it could be a figment of Keila's imagination
15:47We definitely know there's a swan
15:49Because the swan is who April was trying to unmask
15:52As are we
15:53Should we be asking for danger money?
15:55No
15:56I don't know why you think he would murder to stay anonymous
16:00Why does he even want to stay anonymous?
16:02Everybody loves him
16:03So maybe he had another beef with April?
16:06True
16:07Either way, we find the murderer, we found the swan
16:10So who didn't like April?
16:12Maybe she'd written something about someone
16:14Yeah
16:15Maybe she'd upset somebody
16:17What about that row she was having in the comic shop?
16:20Yeah, she really leered into Vernon, didn't she?
16:23Maybe we should check where he was that afternoon
16:25Do you mean super speedy runner Vernon McMorris
16:28Who won the Arden Marathon dressed as Batman?
16:38Poor woman
16:39Horrible
16:40You've heard them
16:41Yeah, we drove past her office this morning
16:44Yes
16:45We were wondering where you were yesterday afternoon
16:49Good Lord, you can't think that I'd want to hurt April
16:52Well you were having that big argument yesterday
16:54That was simply frustration on her part
16:58Because I couldn't help
16:59Really?
17:00But it did seem like it was a little bit something a bit bigger maybe
17:03Well she and I had like a long-standing spat
17:07And April thought that superhero stories were full of pathetic girls
17:12And waiting to get rescued
17:14And I told her, I said, you know, there's plenty of powerful female characters
17:18But it wasn't an argument I'd have murdered her for
17:22Can you think of anyone that might have had issues with her?
17:26Well, most of the people she wrote about
17:28And she did mention me rather favourably though when I won the marathon
17:31Oh, lovely
17:32Oh, lovely
17:33Congratulations
17:34Yeah, well I don't really like to talk about it
17:35Because it can come across like a boasting
17:38When you've got a personal best and you've raised 10,000 for a kid's charity
17:42So you like to run, you like to help people
17:45And you like to dress in skin-tight lycra
17:47But you're definitely not the swan
17:49No, no, I'm always here
17:52I couldn't just swan off every time there was a crime
17:55Pun intended
17:56No
17:57And in answer to your question
17:58Yesterday afternoon
18:00I was here
18:01I was working
18:03Uh, customers
18:05Sorry, just one sec
18:08There's a lot of red bills around the place
18:14Doesn't prove anything
18:16He was right about April's job though
18:18She must have met a lot of enemies
18:20Yes
18:21We ought to have a look in her office
18:23Do you think the police have finished in there yet?
18:25Can I go in and walk inside?
18:26Thank you
18:27Let's go
18:28Lou
18:29Lou
18:30Lou

19:10You...
19:11You...
19:12Hey look
19:13Maybe she was moving house
19:16Three pound signs
19:18Hmm
19:19Someone's got a big budget
19:21And
19:22A secret admirer
19:24Look at this friend
19:25April
19:26You're a top bird
19:28Let's start again
19:30Marty
19:31Ooh
19:32You old romantic Marty
19:34Oh
19:35You've got something on your...
19:36Yeah
19:37No you have
19:38Just on the...
19:39No
19:40Get off hers you dirty devil
19:42What are you doing?
19:44Just a bit of oil on the...
19:46Well it's a bit on me
19:48Not my mum
19:51It's off
19:52Well I'm not your mum
19:54So...
19:55There's 34 Marty's in the Stratford area
20:00And 750 Martins
20:03Wow
20:04That knows it down
20:05Hmm
20:06I wonder if anyone called Marty works for the newspaper
20:08Far fan
20:10Well we might not have found the swan
20:11But at least Sebastian's discovered the fountain of youth
20:15All in a morning's work
20:17As was a little impromptu surveillance
20:20I overheard some youths outside the chippy talking about the bike riding gang
20:24Oh
20:25Did they know them?
20:26Mm-hmm
20:27And the word on the street is they're planning a flurry of phone thefts tonight
20:31And they'll all meet up and share spoils at a place called The Pipes
20:34And the swan might turn up
20:36That's what I'm thinking
20:37Also they mention the magpie
20:39Oh right so that is actually a thing
20:40Mm-hmm
20:41But he's not a sidekick
20:43He's some kind of super villain
20:45And he's responsible for our client losing all those doorstep parcels
20:48So we're gonna catch the magpie and the swan
20:51One bird, two stones, huh?
20:53Thanks
20:54Hi Zach
20:55Oh Zach, do you know of a place called The Pipes?
20:59Do you mean the skateboard ramps?
21:01Spent half my childhood there
21:03Ah, thank you
21:05Right, we've gotta make sure we're ready if the swan turns up
21:08Which is why I took the liberty of buying this
21:12It's a tracker
21:13Wasn't the cheapest but you get what you pay for
21:16You do
21:17It's coming out of your wages
21:23No, no, no
21:24Oh, no
21:25No, no
21:26I'm going to get
21:30I'm stepping in
21:31No, no
21:32No, no
21:33No, no
21:34I'm going to get
21:35Oh, no
21:36I'm going to get
21:38Oh no
21:39Put it all
21:40Yes you are
21:41What's up?
21:42Yes sir
21:44Frank, see the one monochrome one? I bet that's the magpie.
21:55What'd you get? Let's see what you've got.
22:06Hey, Luke.
22:07Get him stuck.
22:10Get him off the bike.
22:12Oh, Frank, she's going to help me.
22:22How'd you like that, Luke?
22:26Wait, wait, look.
22:33That's it, yeah.
22:35Oh!
22:37Cloud, Sebastian.
22:40Oh, that was like watching one of those wildlife documentaries.
22:50Look.
22:52Good work, Sep.
23:02What be ya?
23:08Well, this can't be right.
23:10Hang on.
23:22So where is he, then?
23:24And where are we?
23:26We're right next to our warmest, comfiest nest.
23:30And I know who the swan is.
23:32Are you okay?
23:34You can, er, you can take the mask off now.
23:48Zack.
23:49How did you find me?
23:50You'll tell everybody it's me now, aren't you?
23:52You should never have started this stupid, stupid thing.
23:56Hey, on the bright side, that is a spectacular costume.
24:00Where did you get it?
24:02Zero2Hero.com.
24:03Zero2Hero.com.
24:04Well, you look great.
24:05I don't do this for fun.
24:06I got mugged a few months ago on my way home from college.
24:10Those kids, they chucked all my sketchbooks in the river.
24:11And the police did nothing.
24:12And then it happened to other people in the exact same spot.
24:14I mean, somebody had to do something.
24:16How, do you know where the trouble's going to be?
24:18I patrol.
24:19I understand.
24:20I get ACT!
24:21I understand.
24:25All that stuff.
24:26I had to be tried.
24:27I-I was tried.
24:29I read it.
24:30in the exact same spot. I mean, somebody had to do something.
24:35How do you know where the trouble's gonna be?
24:37I patrol.
24:39I hear stuff at the pub.
24:41And the other day, on your phone...
24:44You heard April saying that she knew your true identity.
24:48I went to her office. She was already dead.
24:51But I knew what it would look like, so...
24:54When I heard you coming, I ran.
24:57You do need to go to the police.
25:00They're looking for you.
25:01But I didn't kill her. I swear, on Dad's life, I just...
25:05I wanted to know if she was really on to me.
25:07You just need to tell them that.
25:09And then they can eliminate you from the enquiries.
25:12It'll give them a chance to find the truth.
25:20Zack. Comic timing, Zack.
25:23I want to see him.
25:25He's in the police station.
25:27What?
25:28Yes, and a little uniformed birdie tells me now in a cell,
25:32Keeler's arrested him for the murder.
25:34Zack couldn't murder anyone.
25:36And after all he's done for this town,
25:38you need to find out who actually did it.
25:40Look, Theo...
25:41No, look. I can pay you.
25:43Not just the reward. I'll hire you.
25:46My Dad's loaded and he'll always support a good cause.
25:49Oh, sorry.
25:51Um, just out of interest. What is that?
25:54Oh, it's just fanfic. I write fanfiction.
25:58Mm-hmm. About this one.
26:01Let's try and help Zack, shall we?
26:04Last time we were in here, it seemed like you already knew April.
26:08Is that right?
26:09Sort of. Just a regular customer.
26:11Did you ever say anything about her boyfriends?
26:13Er, someone called Marty?
26:15Marty? No.
26:17You sure?
26:18Cos we found this in her office.
26:23That's not Marty. It's Morty.
26:26Morty? Not Marty?
26:28Who's Morty?
26:29Mortimer.
26:30He's a delivery driver.
26:32His company's called Knock and Deliver.
26:34All of the shops around here use him.
26:36Right. We need to speak to him.
26:38And I know exactly how we can find him.
26:44There. I've got one more.
26:45You're so strong.
26:47Hey, I, er...
26:49Saw you guys are PIs.
26:50Yeah.
26:51Never realised you'd need so many, er...
26:53Disguises. Yeah, I know.
26:55We do a lot of undercover work.
26:57Actually got quite a bit on at the moment, so...
26:59Er, Lou.
27:00Oh, not with these.
27:04I'll grab the last one.
27:05Oh.
27:07I told you to order three pairs.
27:09Yeah.
27:10Probably added an extra zero or two by accident.
27:12Sorry, I was in a rush.
27:14Come on.
27:15That's the last one.
27:16And, er...
27:17Can I trouble you for, erm...
27:21It's all right.
27:24Do you want my landline or my mobile?
27:27Oh, no, er...
27:28A signature.
27:29For the parcels.
27:30Yeah.
27:31Yeah, obviously.
27:32Yeah.
27:33Yeah, obviously.
27:34Sure.
27:35There's my mobile signature.
27:36Yeah.
27:37There.
27:38Yeah.
27:39Can I trouble you to ask you a few questions?
27:40Did you ever have a relationship with April Laferte?
27:44What is this?
27:45Nothing.
27:46We just want to know the truth.
27:47If I know what happened, I'm sure you feel the same.
27:51OK.
27:52Right.
27:53Six months ago, we went out for, like, a month.
27:56And then she just called it quits.
27:58I wanted her back.
27:59I sent her gifts and everything.
28:01Yeah, but when you bumped into her in the comic shop,
28:04she didn't even want to talk to you.
28:07And I might have tried harder if I meant.
28:09That it was the last time you were going to see her.
28:12Must have made you angry, you know, when she rejected you.
28:16I'm not angry enough to murder her, if that's what you mean.
28:19Look, Tuesdays at six, I'm at the church youth group.
28:24I'm a volunteer leader.
28:26You can ask the kids.
28:27They never miss a week.
28:28PHONE RINGS
28:30Where's my warehouse calling?
28:32I've got deliveries.
28:34PHONE RINGS
28:35Good luck, yeah?
28:36Yeah, sorry.
28:37Sorry.
28:38PHONE RINGS
28:41Captivating.
28:55Five stars.
28:57You promised not to take the mitt.
28:58Well, I'm not.
28:59Obviously, this wouldn't be my usual thing,
29:02but it's, um, quite the feather ruffler.
29:05You should show, Zach.
29:06Do you think?
29:07Mm-hmm.
29:08I'm just a waitress, and he's, like, this super kind, super hot actual hero.
29:13Oh, and he might be super flattered.
29:19It's Vernon.
29:20Zach's out.
29:21I have to find out what happened.
29:24My son.
29:26The swan.
29:27He could have knocked me down with a feather.
29:29Zach.
29:31Did they charge you?
29:32Insufficient evidence.
29:34I fear.
29:36Did they, uh, say what evidence they do have?
29:39Oh, it was one of the muggers that did it.
29:41I'm sure.
29:42Zach said they'd been going crazy.
29:43I heard people at the station saying that the bike gang have set things up.
29:47Does the whole town hate me?
29:48What? Why?
29:49I got arrested just before everybody needed me.
29:52And I, uh, I couldn't help poor April.
29:55Nobody hates you.
29:56As you'll see at our special event.
30:00Meet the swan.
30:01Dad, no.
30:02The police have said no more hero stuff.
30:04But it'd be great for your self-esteem.
30:06And business.
30:07All right, there.
30:08Two for you.
30:09And one for Swanboy.
30:10Me.
30:11From a fan, surely?
30:12Open it.
30:13Stratford's my town now.
30:14From the Magpie.
30:15Oh, wait, no.
30:16Stop!
30:17We're missing something.
30:32Oh, someone.
30:34Oh, you're missing something.
30:46someone another story she was writing what about that post-it note that was on her computer what
30:53did that say was it touton properties you're looking it up mm-hmm no it's a company all the
31:01way up north why would a journalist from here be digging up dirt on them it's flower the magpie's
31:08a thief and a practical joker oh no there's another touton properties in stratford upon
31:16haven and it's owned by thea's dad so maybe those pound signs weren't about her moving budget but
31:26about their company finances so april was investigating thea's family business looks like it
31:34hey this is incredible i can just picture it in panels yeah totally i was thinking a big splash page
31:52where the swan fights the magpie totally like blah so clumsy it's fine i'm the idiot i know
32:04you've never been you're sorry sorry to interrupt i just um could we have a quick word thea
32:13i should suit up dad's paranoid somebody's gonna pinch this pike for a night
32:16yeah there's probably some welcome gods purple's a color what's up well um
32:26we were wondering if you knew that april was investigating your dad oh yeah so what
32:33does that make me a suspect i'd never would have murdered her over that
32:37although i was annoyed she'd got my number well she rang you what for my dad's company made this
32:42big corporate donation to vernon's fundraising when he won that marathon but the charity told april that
32:47they never got the money she wanted me to ask my dad if he'd actually paid it as if he was some sort
32:52of swindler ladies and gentle nerds it's time come on thank you for coming everyone uh to meet
33:01a true local hero we're very proud of him and everything he's done please welcome zach aka the swan
33:12you know that uh that purple stuff piker night yeah zach said his dad had some it's a film prop from
33:28the actual 80s movie they only made three of them and one of them's here i know right verne hardly ever
33:35puts it out on display because it's worth like thousands but zach made him get it out today where is
33:40it why are you geeking out over pipe granite next to april's body there are little bits of purple
33:46crystal what murder weapon over here it's beautiful isn't it wow hey verne you've got two budding wednesday
33:59warriors here show them the crystal oh i'm sure they're not interested no we really are
34:06okay um well it is stunning it's quite a customer magnet do you mind if we um well i'd rather not
34:15show them come on
34:26there you go so thea says you can almost feel the force coming off it who broke it
34:32i'm just a clumsy cleaner that's all so if the police were to check this crystal for traces of
34:40april's blood would they find any of course not he's right though i should probably take better care
34:46of it april was on to you wasn't she you kept all the marathon money you raised you received the
34:52donations but you just didn't pass them on to the charity yeah the shop was struggling you needed the
34:57cash and april had found out you were a thief i'm not i always intended to send that money yeah that's
35:04not how april would have written it though is it when the police search that laptop they're going to
35:08find an article about you she just wouldn't listen so what happened she rang after she'd been here
35:18and she was demanding like i tell her who the swan was but i had no idea but but she said if i didn't
35:23give her a name then then she published that horrible story so i went to see her with the
35:29crystal i didn't have any money to bribe her what even is that i don't want your pathetic geek toys
35:39it's worth 20 grand i've even got this certificate of authentication yeah as much said love to hear
35:46more i've got a story to deliver if it can't be the swan scoop it'll have to be this juicy tale

40:38You haven't got any friends, Zach.
40:40Oh, you're scared.
40:57Well, like when my boys took your sketchbooks.

41:11Yes!
41:21Yes, sir! Well done!
41:28Let us out!
41:29Can you let us in, we can't?
41:39Great news.
41:41The police have found all the parcels our clients had nicked.
41:45So they're our client again, are they?
41:47Yes, since they agreed to pay up every penny for the job.
41:51We have visitors.
41:53Oh, hi, Thea. Hello, Zach.
41:57How are you doing?
41:59I'm not exactly super, but I'm OK.
42:01And have you visited your dad?
42:03He just keeps saying he's sorry.
42:06I believe him.
42:07And what about the shop? Are you going to take it over?
42:09Well, we might not actually have time.
42:12We're working on a graphic novel together.
42:14A story by Thea, artwork by me, a publisher's Reddit.
42:19That's amazing!
42:21I think you'll make a great team.
42:22Oh, thank you.
42:23We actually came by to give you a thank you gift.
42:26Here's an original Zach McMorris.
42:30Wow!

42:36And Frank, your pecs are magnificent.
42:38Yeah, as in real life.

42:49A catchphrase.
42:50Something like,
42:51We fight for truth, for honour.
42:54And for cake.
42:57What?
42:58You'd totally fight for cake?
43:00No, you're right.
