00:00:30Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Archie
00:00:45Need I remind you, Miss Gillen, this is a no-smoking club
00:00:49Apologies for my daughter, Wilf
00:00:51She gets the attitude from her father
00:00:54That's why I divorced him
00:00:55That, and the fact you run off with your hairdresser
00:00:57Which was devastating
00:00:59Best hairdresser I ever had, excuse me
00:01:02That's good, yeah, that's great
00:01:15And the players in the back, maybe with the...
00:01:17Come on a bit this way
00:01:19Okay, all right, it's okay, just, yeah, that's nice
00:01:22Is that okay?
00:01:23Yeah, that's great, it's great
00:01:24Smile a bit, that's good, love
00:01:25Do that
00:01:27Oh, I'm so, I'm so sorry
00:01:29Excuse me, Archie, sorry, sorry
00:01:41All right, Jenny, just relax
00:01:44Okay, okay, all right, let's just get it over with
00:01:47Yeah, all right, that is great
00:01:50You can polish your bowls all you like, Dale
00:01:52But you'll know you're a marbles man underneath
00:01:54Archie, mate
00:01:55Show these amateurs how it's done
00:01:57My pleasure
00:01:59Oh, tension getting to you, isn't it?
00:02:10Never
00:02:11Come on, my beauty
00:02:18Nice one, monster at work
00:02:22Actually, I think mine's nearest
00:02:24How old are you, Wilf?
00:02:26Black ball closer
00:02:40Archie's team wins
00:02:42What? No way, are you joking?
00:02:44Fix
00:02:44They never lie
00:02:46Chloe, you know the membership rules as well as the rest of us
00:02:49Referee's decision is final
00:02:51Yeah, but my ball is closer
00:02:53Well, he's right
00:02:53Just a bunch of cheats
00:02:55I'm sick of this farce
00:02:56Are you going to let him get away with this, Ruth?
00:02:57Leave a towel, mate
00:02:58Oh, ban him, Ruth, ban him
00:03:00Okay, let's just calm it
00:03:02It's only a knockabout
00:03:03Save your energy for the championship finals, okay?
00:03:07You, I want a word
00:03:08All right, champ?
00:03:34Bunch of losers, that one
00:03:35Have a good evening for it
00:03:39You are fine
00:03:39Don't see
00:03:40Do you have any
00:03:54Let's go
00:03:55What corner
00:03:56How's that?
00:03:57How is that?
00:03:57Oh, my God.
00:04:27Oh, my God.
00:04:57Oh, my God.
00:05:27Oh, my God.
00:05:57Listen, now, 4 times 4 equals 16 plus 4 is 20 minus the square root of 4, which is 2, equals 18.
00:06:08Well done, darling.
00:06:10The 4-4 math challenge. Remember it well.
00:06:1319?
00:06:13Oh, I think we've got to get to work, haven't we, Winter?
00:06:18Yes, we do, sir.
00:06:19Oh, sorry.
00:06:20Get me Jackie.
00:06:264 factorial, 24 minus 4 minus 4 over 4, 19.
00:06:29She knows.
00:06:31Betty's actually up to 53, but John's more likely to let her stay up late tonight if he feels like he's out.
00:06:38That's top maths, that, sir. Well done.
00:06:40Well, thank you.
00:06:41Thank you. And, um, I'm actually more of a Shakespeare man, really.
00:06:43See you later.
00:06:45Victim is Wilfred Wilf Worrell, 80, widower, retired, antiques dealer, and grounds...
00:07:15Never really understood the fascination with bowls.
00:07:17Really, I love a bit of bowling. I just play my grandad all the time.
00:07:21You know, it dates back to the 13th century.
00:07:23Surprisingly skilled.
00:07:25It's all in the wrist action.
00:07:28Right.
00:07:28All right.
00:07:41Great.
00:07:42More numbers.
00:07:44Morning, Fleur.
00:07:46Morning.
00:07:48Quite a mouthful.
00:07:50Was that to silence him?
00:07:51Whatever it was for, it wasn't the cause of death.
00:07:55That's PBI.
00:07:57Penetrating brain injury to you.
00:07:59Caused by these.
00:08:02Measuring calipers.
00:08:04Thrust into the nasal cavity with considerable force.
00:08:07Indications of cranial penetration and associated cerebral trauma.
00:08:12Triggering intracranial hemorrhage.
00:08:14Victim could have had them on him.
00:08:18Or they might have been taken from the outhouse over there.
00:08:26Time of death?
00:08:28Judging from the lividity of the bruising around the nostrils,
00:08:31I'd say we're talking early evening.
00:08:33What about these markers?
00:08:34Looks like the victim placed them there himself.
00:08:37A score?
00:08:38As in a score to settle, sir.
00:08:40One thing at a time, Winter.
00:08:42Mobile phone?
00:08:43No sign of one.
00:08:44Or any other personal effect.
00:08:46Who found him?
00:08:47Ah.
00:08:48That would be the Dawn Chorus Yoga Club.
00:08:52Ah, yes.
00:08:54Yoga teacher Jenny Pollock.
00:08:58Along with mother and daughter Ruth and Chloe Gillan.
00:09:01Mum Ruth is a GP and the bowling club president.
00:09:05I've met her at many a medical get-to-go.
00:09:13Ruth Gillan.
00:09:14Ruth Gillan.
00:09:22Was, uh, Wilf Worrell a mainstay of the club?
00:09:25Mm, he was indeed.
00:09:27Too much so, really.
00:09:29In what way?
00:09:30Oh, Wilf should have retired years ago.
00:09:32He wasn't a well man.
00:09:34Thyroid issues mainly.
00:09:36And I finally got him to agree to a course of statins and beta blockers.
00:09:40He'd also reluctantly accepted that he needed some help here.
00:09:44And who might that be?
00:09:45Libby.
00:09:46Libby Trevor.
00:09:47Local horticulturalist.
00:09:48Amazing at what she does.
00:09:50And the patience of a saint with Wilf.
00:09:54Do you need to get that?
00:09:56No, it's just the surgery chasing.
00:09:58Did anyone not have patience with Wilf?
00:10:05Well, he wasn't the easiest person, to be fair.
00:10:08Things got a bit heated yesterday.
00:10:11Ollie Peterson wasn't happy with Wilf's refereeing.
00:10:14Because?
00:10:15I thought he'd won.
00:10:16Wilf's measurements indicated otherwise.
00:10:19Measurements made with callipers, by any chance?
00:10:21Yes.
00:10:22Lucas really kicked off.
00:10:24Accusing us all of cheating.
00:10:26Lucas who?
00:10:27Sure.
00:10:28Runs Midsummer Mocha.
00:10:30Brand new, trendy coffee place.
00:10:32Not everyone's cup of tea.
00:10:35Or coffee.
00:10:36And did Mr. Worrell cheat?
00:10:39Not possibly, but Lucas overreacted.
00:10:43He's intense and a bit pushy.
00:10:46Maybe it's all that caffeine.
00:10:49Most of us are open to new ideas, but Wilf, however, wasn't.
00:10:53So when Lucas got a youngster's bowling team together, Wilf resisted their entrance to the club and tried to get them thrown out.
00:11:01For what?
00:11:02Oh, anything.
00:11:03Anything.
00:11:03Um, breaking dress regulation codes, um, match etiquette rules, breathing, you name it.
00:11:12Why is the bowling club up for sale?
00:11:14Well, our finances are perilous.
00:11:18Membership's fallen off the edge of a cliff.
00:11:20Mainly because, well, people insist on dying.
00:11:25Quiet.
00:11:27Archie Pollock's on a roll.
00:11:29Championship winning captain for the last 12 years.
00:11:33I see he also won in 1926.
00:11:35Oh, his grandfather.
00:11:37He comes from a long line of Archies.
00:11:39A load of Pollocks, some might say.
00:11:43Only ever threatened by Captain Curve himself, Teddy Mulcahy, who's no longer with us, but their rivalry was legendary.
00:11:52Best not mention him in front of Archie.
00:11:54I'll try not to.
00:11:56Jenny Pollock, Chloe Gillan, DS Winter.
00:12:00Guilty as charged.
00:12:02And, uh, you are?
00:12:05Uh, Libby Trevor, groundswoman.
00:12:09Sorry, um, excuse me.
00:12:11Sorry.
00:12:14Look, excuse me, you can't stand there.
00:12:16Can you tell me what you were doing here this morning?
00:12:20I run a sunrise yoga class here twice a week.
00:12:23My mum approved it.
00:12:25She was keen to bring in some extra egg on you.
00:12:27Wolf opposed it, of course.
00:12:29Wasn't happy about us using the green.
00:12:31Wolf wasn't happy about anything.
00:12:33I can tangle us old goat.
00:12:34Safe to say you're not a fan, then.
00:12:36Oppressive detective skills, DS Winter.
00:12:38The Bowling Green is the only place in the area we can do it.
00:12:41It's perfect, and it's gone down well with the majority of locals.
00:12:44It's because you're insanely brilliant.
00:12:45I mean, personally, I could do without seeing Dale and his downward dog at the crack of dawn twice a week.
00:12:50But, I mean, Jenny's done more for this community than pretty much anyone else.
00:12:5681.
00:12:57Does that number mean anything to you?
00:13:00Someone's age, a house number, perhaps?
00:13:02No, not that I know of.
00:13:05Mr. Worrell, did he own a mobile phone?
00:13:08Oh, definitely not.
00:13:09Old school.
00:13:10Dinosaur, more likely.
00:13:12Jenny.
00:13:13Oh.
00:13:15Are you okay?
00:13:17I just heard it's terrible.
00:13:18I know.
00:13:20Well, let's get you home.
00:13:23Has anyone shown interest in buying the club?
00:13:25Two bids so far, Flash Harry being one of them.
00:13:29Harry Peterson, architect, property magnate and entrepreneur.
00:13:33Sporty car, moved to the village a year ago with his son Ollie.
00:13:36The same Ollie who plays bowls.
00:13:39Ollie's sweet, whereas his dad has made no secret of his intention to expand his property empire around here.
00:13:44We figure he'll raise the club to the ground, build some modern monstrosity and sell it for millions.
00:13:50Apparently, Jack and Wilf thought otherwise.
00:13:53They were saying yesterday that Harry's bid is dead in the water.
00:13:56Jack?
00:13:57Oh, club accountant.
00:13:59Archie's son.
00:14:00He was here yesterday.
00:14:01Taking photos to promote his wife's yoga studio.
00:14:04I really must make a move, if that's okay.
00:14:07Oh, by all means.
00:14:08And who is the other potential buyer you mentioned, too?
00:14:12We have absolutely no idea.
00:14:14An anonymous bidder.
00:14:18Well, I think it's fair to say that Mr. Worrell wasn't the most popular person in the village.
00:14:21Indeed.
00:14:22Generational conflict, sporting rivalry, a spat with Lucas Shaw.
00:14:25We'll sock her on the way to Mr. Worrell's house now.
00:14:28I'll follow.
00:14:29Check his financials and get on to the council.
00:14:32I want to know who's behind this anonymous bid to buy the bowling club.
00:14:35And pay a visit to Lucas Shaw at Midsummer Mocha.
00:14:38Oh, I'd love to.
00:14:39Really into my coffee at the moment, sir.
00:14:41Become a bit of a Java junkie.
00:14:43A what?
00:14:44A roast ranger, sir.
00:14:46Bean aficionado?
00:14:48Well, keep it to yourself, Winter.
00:14:49I'll speak to Jack Pollock, see what he knows.
00:14:52Right.
00:14:54So, where were you last night, then?
00:14:57Well, never mind me.
00:14:58Where were you?
00:14:59Pub, then boringly tucked in bed with a book.
00:15:02You, you, Dr. Dirty Stopout, didn't make it home unnoticed.
00:15:06Well, for your information, I went back to the surgery to a mountain of paperwork and some midnight oil.
00:15:12Ah, is that what they call it these days?
00:15:14I mean, I believe you.
00:15:16Millions wouldn't.
00:15:17What's that with you home alone, anyway?
00:15:19Well, you're not still holding out for that slash Harry, are you?
00:15:22Of course not.
00:15:24Maybe a smidge.
00:15:25Come on, he's fine, he's charismatic, loaded.
00:15:28And I'm really well with his son.
00:15:30And, uh, Dale?
00:15:32Please, Mother.
00:15:33He's a glorified man with a van.
00:15:34He's not even a contender.
00:15:36Hi, Harry.
00:15:38Hi, ladies.
00:15:38I mean, seriously, what's not to like?
00:15:45See you later.
00:15:54Wow.
00:15:56Who died?
00:15:58Chloe, can you not?
00:16:00Positivity, please.
00:16:02There's positivity and there's delusion.
00:16:04You've got to admit, Wilf's death, on top of already being boycotted by 90% of the locals, it's not a good look.
00:16:12Maybe this place isn't ready for a coffee revolution.
00:16:15We'll just have to work harder, then.
00:16:18Today, Mr Medeveril.
00:16:20Tomorrow, the world.
00:16:23If you say so, coffee man.
00:16:26I do.
00:16:28I do say so.
00:16:29There's police crawling everywhere.
00:16:46Libby, calm down.
00:16:47Didn't you hear what I said?
00:16:49They're all over the place.
00:16:50What are we going to do?
00:16:51I tell you what we're not going to do.
00:16:53We're not going to panic.
00:16:55We're going to stay calm and carry on as planned.
00:16:58OK?
00:17:06Tell me, does the number 81 mean anything to you?
00:17:11Relating to Bowles, possibly?
00:17:14No.
00:17:15No, not at all.
00:17:16About the bids to buy the club, I gather you and Mr Worrell no longer believe that Harry Peterson's bid is a goer.
00:17:25That's correct.
00:17:26I have a friend on the council who told me they'd reject any bid that wanted to build residential property on the land.
00:17:33Which is Mr Peterson's plan?
00:17:36That's what he does for a living.
00:17:37Look, I was told in confidence, but made the mistake of telling Wilf who wanted to blab it to the world, which could have ruined everything.
00:17:49Does Harry Peterson know about this?
00:17:52Might Mr Worrell have blabbed about it to him?
00:17:56Very possibly.
00:17:57Wilf was nothing if not a stirrer.
00:17:58Well, I'll need an address for Mr Peterson if you have it.
00:18:03Sure.
00:18:05And would Mr Worrell blabbing be annoying for you?
00:18:09Well, it's my own fault, really.
00:18:12I should have known better than to trust him.
00:18:14Can you tell me what you did last night after the game?
00:18:17Well, I've been taking photos of Jenny for her yoga, and then I dropped her home and went to the swan.
00:18:24A few of us did.
00:18:25These photos, were they taken around the club generally?
00:18:28Yeah.
00:18:28All over.
00:18:29Just snaps, really.
00:18:31Might I see them?
00:18:32You might have captured something without knowing it.
00:18:36Sure.
00:18:36I'll send them over to you.
00:18:39Big match tomorrow.
00:18:42The match.
00:18:43Climax of the season.
00:18:44Gone right to the wire.
00:18:46Could be the last championship ever, if the club goes.
00:18:50And potentially your 13th.
00:18:52Quite a record.
00:18:54Rivaled only by Teddy Mulcahy, I believe.
00:18:57Mulcahy.
00:18:59All mouth and no trousers.
00:19:00A pretender.
00:19:02A mountebank.
00:19:02Which is why I don't plan on letting any of those youths win tomorrow.
00:19:08Versus first, second is nowhere.
00:19:10Isn't that right, Jack?
00:19:11In one, Dad.
00:19:13You'll need a strong referee, I suspect.
00:19:16We will.
00:19:17Bloody selfish of wealth not to be around, if you ask me.
00:19:20Dad.
00:19:20What?
00:19:22Just saying.
00:19:23You look after the club, I'll sort the bowls.
00:19:29Everything all right, Mr. Pollock?
00:19:31Just a twinge.
00:19:31There's something wrong with you.
00:19:33No, it's fine.
00:20:01It's fine.
00:20:02It's fine.
00:20:11It's fine.
00:20:13It's fine.
00:20:1422 cans surveillance.
00:20:15Dude.
00:20:15It's fine.
00:20:15Yeah.
00:20:16It's fine.
00:20:18Uh-u-uh.
00:20:19Ooh.
00:20:20How did you get on at Mr. Worrell's?
00:20:42Nice cottage, full of antiques, but then he was a dealer.
00:20:46Clearly a successful one.
00:20:47His financials came back, all in good shape.
00:20:51Something I suspect that house clearance expert-cum-ambulance
00:20:55chaser, Dale McManus, might be interested in.
00:20:57Caught him snooping around.
00:20:59Check him out.
00:21:01Also, Mr. Worrell had an old school landline.
00:21:04The last person to call him at 5 o'clock yesterday
00:21:06was Flash Harry Peace.
00:21:08Ah, just as well I'm about to meet him.
00:21:17I knocked, but, uh, is your dad here?
00:21:26Said he'd be back soon.
00:21:27You know, if you're a bit of a maths buff, maybe you can help me with something.
00:21:35Is there anything special about the number 81?
00:21:38Nine square, three to the power of four.
00:21:43This is all about bowling?
00:21:45It is.
00:21:46I'm, uh, trying to protect the part of the bowling ball tech.
00:21:51Accuracy is everything.
00:21:53Unless the ref's cheating.
00:21:55I take it you're referring to Mr. Worrell?
00:22:00Why might he do that, do you think?
00:22:01Uh, pick on some breaking rules.
00:22:04Not let us book practice greens.
00:22:07He really had it in for us.
00:22:09As a result, perhaps someone had it in for him.
00:22:15Can I help?
00:22:16Yeah.
00:22:25Excuse me?
00:22:35What the hell are those for?
00:22:37Mushroom coffee.
00:22:38It's the next big thing.
00:22:40You can't just pick wild mushrooms, experiment, and sell it as coffee.
00:22:44There are rules and regulations.
00:22:46We have to do this properly.
00:22:47We'll never get investment from someone like Harry Peterson.
00:22:50Hi.
00:22:51Hey.
00:22:52D.S. Winter, Causton CID.
00:22:56Uh, what can we get you?
00:22:58How about this one?
00:22:59Uh, Parisa?
00:23:00It's a nutty bean, responsibly sourced from a cooperative in Nicaragua.
00:23:04Or perhaps you fancy a Brazilian?
00:23:09Uh, yes.
00:23:10Yes, maybe, um, maybe in a minute.
00:23:13Um, how...
00:23:14How's the cafe been, um, received so far?
00:23:17Wilf despised us, and, generally speaking,
00:23:21a destination coffee shop isn't exactly top of the village wish list.
00:23:25Most people here are still wedded to powdered instant and a kettle.
00:23:28Same at the bowling club.
00:23:30Their website's like somewhere from the dark ages.
00:23:32Jack did the puzzles.
00:23:33Wilf did the jokes.
00:23:35Everyone a belter.
00:23:36We joined hoping to encourage some cross-fertilization.
00:23:39No, we're doing okay on the cross bit.
00:23:42Less on the fertilization.
00:23:44Huh.
00:23:45How did you get into coffee?
00:23:47Huh.
00:23:48Well, I was a barista champion.
00:23:53Um, I worked in cafes all over the world.
00:23:56Uh, Madrid, Ecuador, Guatemala.
00:23:58And, uh, got tired of working for other people.
00:24:01And my family are from around here, so...
00:24:04This is my dream.
00:24:06I'll do anything to make it work.
00:24:09What did you do after the game last night?
00:24:11And Mr. McManus said, um, something about going to the pub.
00:24:14Yeah.
00:24:15A bunch of us did.
00:24:16I'll need a list.
00:24:17And, uh, one of those?
00:24:19Uh, yeah.
00:24:20Yeah, sure.
00:24:21The bright kid, your son?
00:24:25Doesn't get it from me.
00:24:27Oh, really?
00:24:28I heard that you were, uh, a successful architect turned property magnate.
00:24:33I can talk the talk, but I'm no good at maths.
00:24:35Not on Ollie's league, anyway.
00:24:37You know, he's just still a teenager,
00:24:39but he's already been in touch with the European Space Agency
00:24:42about a mentorship scheme they run.
00:24:44Oh, impressive.
00:24:45Is it just the two of you?
00:24:47It is.
00:24:48Money can buy lots of things,
00:24:50but it seems happiness is not one of them.
00:24:54Ollie's mum lives abroad.
00:24:57He misses her, and, uh,
00:24:59well, he retreated into physics, quantum mechanics, and the multiverse.
00:25:04He's become quite introverted.
00:25:06And yet he's a member of the bowling club.
00:25:08Yes.
00:25:09A godsend.
00:25:10When the coffee guys wanted to recruit a youngster,
00:25:13Chloe Gillan took a punt on Ollie,
00:25:15and he hasn't looked back.
00:25:17Swapped one obsession, orbital trajectories in space,
00:25:20for another, Lorne Bowles.
00:25:22Who knew?
00:25:23He loves it.
00:25:24But he didn't love Mr. Worrell, though.
00:25:27No.
00:25:28But, to be honest, it's good for Ollie to meet old duffers like that.
00:25:32Life isn't always fair,
00:25:34and the sooner he learns that, the better.
00:25:36Hmm.
00:25:39Where were you last night, around six o'clock?
00:25:43I picked Ollie up from the bowling club and then came home.
00:25:46And when did you last talk to Mr. Worrell?
00:25:48Yesterday.
00:25:49On the phone.
00:25:50About?
00:25:52Mainly, he wanted to gloat about how I wasn't going to win the bid.
00:25:55Something about council opposition to residential property.
00:25:59That must have been galling.
00:26:01Not really.
00:26:02Who said I was doing anything residential?
00:26:04Well, what are your plans, then?
00:26:06My plans are confidential and, for the moment, academic.
00:26:12With all due respect, I'd prefer to keep it that way, if that's all right.
00:26:16For the time being, yes.
00:26:21Ollie?
00:26:22Everything all right?
00:26:25Teenagers, eh?
00:26:27Hormones and all that.
00:26:28Does your son make a habit of lashing out?
00:26:35Oh, did you get me a coffee?
00:26:36No.
00:26:37No, I'm taste testing.
00:26:38Now, I get gooseberry, but I'm not getting a hint of hibiscus.
00:26:44Tastes like pencil shavings to me.
00:26:47I had no idea you ate pencils.
00:26:49I, um...
00:26:50I checked on Dale McManus, our house clearance expert,
00:26:53and he's had fines for fly-tipping and was once accused of identity theft,
00:26:56but nothing was ever proven.
00:26:58Interesting.
00:26:59And also, the council got back to me about an honest bidder.
00:27:02H. Appleby.
00:27:05Well, do some digging.
00:27:06And while you're at it, see if Harry Peterson has been involved in anything non-residential.
00:27:11Hmm.
00:27:12I do.
00:27:13Oh!
00:27:14Also, I got you something, sir.
00:27:16It's a steam wand.
00:27:19Milk frother for your coffee.
00:27:22It aerates the milk.
00:27:24Makes it creamier.
00:27:32I'll bear that in mind.
00:27:37Fleur wants a word.
00:27:41I'm glad you could join.
00:27:48I'm working on the numbers.
00:27:49Do you have any cryptic word games while waiting for lab results, Fleur?
00:27:55You don't get to be head of Causton Cadaver's pubquist team without practice.
00:28:02So pay attention.
00:28:05It could be a letters-to-numbers code.
00:28:08A1, B2 and so on.
00:28:10So if it is, A1 would be?
00:28:13H-A.
00:28:15It could be the start of Harry.
00:28:17You're our anonymous bidder, H. Appleby.
00:28:19Whoever they may be.
00:28:23The victim held one of the markers as if he placed them on the ground himself.
00:28:29Was he trying to help identify his killer?
00:28:31That implies Mr. Worrell, after having caliparins thrust into his brain...
00:28:36Had time to think of the idea and execute it before dying.
00:28:40I can check.
00:28:41But I suspect death was instantaneous.
00:28:44It would also imply that the killer left the scene without checking the victim was dead.
00:28:50Impossible but careless.
00:28:51OK.
00:28:52So, alternatively...
00:28:54Well, the killer put the markers on the ground as if Mr. Worrell had done so himself.
00:29:00To point the finger?
00:29:02Someone else.
00:29:03Exactly.
00:29:04There's something odd about these photos.
00:29:07They're numbered JPEGs, but there's quite a few of them missing.
00:29:10Why wouldn't Mr. Pollock just send all of them?
00:29:13Maybe he deleted some as he went.
00:29:15Maybe.
00:29:16In this one, the outhouse door is locked, but it was open at the crime scene.
00:29:22Well, maybe he unlocked it after people left.
00:29:25Maybe.
00:29:26Well, someone else could have.
00:29:28Apart from Mr. Worrell, who else would have keys?
00:29:30His colleague, Libby Trevor.
00:29:33Ah.
00:29:34Horticulturalist with the Patience of a Saint.
00:29:37Let's talk to her.
00:29:48Is the yoga meeting good?
00:29:50Yeah.
00:29:51Fab.
00:29:52I'll grab coffees.
00:29:55Hi, Cla.
00:29:56Two lattes, please.
00:29:58Chat with you now, is he?
00:29:59Not Harry?
00:30:00You know the good-looking, very successful, super-minted Harry?
00:30:05No.
00:30:06Why would he be?
00:30:07Good question.
00:30:09Do you know what?
00:30:10Forget the coffees.
00:30:12Let's go.
00:30:13What is it?
00:30:14Nothing.
00:30:15What are you doing here?
00:30:16I've done emergency appointments.
00:30:17You want to answer them on course?
00:30:18You've been busy.
00:30:19I'm not here.
00:30:20I'm not here.
00:30:21I'll see you later.
00:30:22I don't know.
00:30:23I don't know.
00:30:24We have to be careful.
00:30:25Do we?
00:30:26Why?
00:30:27Who cares?
00:30:28Well, I do.
00:30:29Well, I do.
00:30:30And Wilf did.
00:30:31Didn't he?
00:30:32Well, Wilf's not a problem anymore, is he?
00:30:34Look, um, maybe we should just leave it, you know?
00:30:35We had our fun.
00:30:36I mean, it's no big deal, is it?
00:30:37And you are that bit younger than me.
00:30:38What's that got to do with anything?
00:30:39I don't know.
00:30:40I don't know.
00:30:41I don't know.
00:30:42I don't know.
00:30:43I don't know.
00:30:44I don't know.
00:30:45I don't know.
00:30:46I don't know.
00:30:47I don't know.
00:30:48I don't know, is he?
00:30:49Look, um, maybe we should just leave it, you know?
00:30:55We had our fun.
00:30:56I mean, it's no big deal, is it?
00:30:59And you are that bit younger than me.
00:31:02What's that got to do with anything?
00:31:04Well, I thought, um, maybe... maybe you liked Chloe?
00:31:11Based on...?
00:31:13You two flirting earlier.
00:31:15Are you flirting earlier?
00:31:16Correction, your daughter flirting.
00:31:18She'll do for England, by the way, literally anyone.
00:31:22It's absolutely fine if you do, but if that is the case,
00:31:26then I'd rather we drew the line now.
00:31:29I'm not into Chloe.
00:31:31Ruth, the last few weeks with you have meant a lot to me.
00:31:38So can I see you tonight?
00:31:41Please?
00:31:43Sure.
00:31:45Good afternoon, Miss Trevor. May we come in?
00:32:11Yes.
00:32:12Uh, sorry about all the plants.
00:32:16They, they calm me, and I like the scents.
00:32:21Well, personally, I'm getting a rather strong aroma of vanilla.
00:32:25I don't know what that can be.
00:32:28Now, how did you get on with Mr. Worrell?
00:32:31Well, um, yeah, great.
00:32:34He taught me everything I know.
00:32:37And he was like a mentor to me, really.
00:32:39Especially when I first moved into the area.
00:32:42And when was that?
00:32:43Four years ago this summer.
00:32:44I was on my own.
00:32:45I fell in with the bowling brigade, and I wanted to firm that up somehow, so I, I became the groundswoman.
00:32:55I gather that Mr. Worrell could be quite difficult.
00:32:57Well, no, not at all. Who told you that?
00:33:01Well, Ruth Gillan said he wasn't the easiest person to work for.
00:33:05Well, he was great.
00:33:07I mean, working with someone from a different generation has its challenges, right?
00:33:14The, um, the outhouse at the bowling club, I assume you have a set of keys?
00:33:20Yes.
00:33:21Who else has?
00:33:23No one. Just me and Wilf. Why?
00:33:26Because we believe whoever killed him might have had access to the outhouse.
00:33:30Maybe Wilf just left it open?
00:33:32We heard that a number of you went to the Swan last night.
00:33:34Did you all come and go at the same time?
00:33:36Sure.
00:33:37Oh, apart from Dale.
00:33:39Yeah, he left early.
00:33:41Did he now?
00:33:43Well, Dale didn't say anything about leaving the pub early when I asked him.
00:33:51Well, keep digging.
00:33:52Likewise, Miss Trevor.
00:33:53She's on edge.
00:33:54She's lying about something.
00:34:13Good.
00:34:14He's in trouble.
00:34:15Is he doing anything?
00:34:16I'll never let you shut the place up.
00:34:18I know, I won't protect him.
00:34:19He's a person.
00:34:20You must have an innocent woman.
00:34:21Can't stop her?
00:34:22She's lying about her husband?
00:34:23Who's a woman?
00:34:24He's a woman.
00:34:26What?
00:34:27Oh, my God.
00:34:57Oh, my God.
00:35:27Oh, my God.
00:35:57Oh, my God.
00:36:27I don't remember much, to be honest.
00:36:34Well, try and remember if you can, Dad. It's important.
00:36:36I was walking into the living room, and next thing I know, you're all here.
00:36:45Do you recall seeing anyone? Did you notice anything untoward?
00:36:50Just that the painting that was on the wall was missing.
00:36:56Wilf loved that painting.
00:36:58And what exactly were you doing here?
00:37:01Wilf was a good friend. I came to pay my respects.
00:37:04How did you get in?
00:37:06The front door was open.
00:37:08Didn't you think that was odd?
00:37:10No, not really.
00:37:12Wilf could be forgetful.
00:37:13I'm sorry, but I think we need to take Archie to hospital just to get him checked over.
00:37:18Jack?
00:37:19Yeah, I agree.
00:37:19No, no hospital.
00:37:21The paramedic said that I'm fine.
00:37:23I just want to go home.
00:37:24I need a good night's sleep before the match.
00:37:26Maybe we should think about cancelling the match, Dad.
00:37:29It's not like you're up against a Teddy McCartney.
00:37:31Never mind him, and don't be such a loser, Jack.
00:37:34Your mother would turn in that grave if I didn't play.
00:37:37Would she, though? Really?
00:37:38Yes, she would, and don't you ever forget it.
00:37:42First is first, and second is nowhere.
00:37:44Which reminds me, Jenny, we'll need a referee for tomorrow.
00:37:56Someone who understands how important it is to get the right result.
00:38:01I'll do my best, but I'm not Wilf.
00:38:07Your father claims to compete in your mother's memory, but you don't think so?
00:38:12No, he competes to prove he's the man.
00:38:14Got to see off the rivals.
00:38:16Like Teddy Mulcahy?
00:38:19A rival in every sense.
00:38:21Meaning?
00:38:22The whole village knew Teddy carried a torch for Mum.
00:38:25I don't think there was anything in it, but after she'd passed, beating him mattered more than ever.
00:38:31More than being there for his son?
00:38:37I guess.
00:38:44There was no sign of a break-in.
00:38:49The back door was locked, but this door was open.
00:38:52It was when Archie Pollock arrived.
00:38:54It was definitely locked when I was here earlier.
00:38:55I checked.
00:38:56Meaning whoever assaulted Mr. Pollock had a set of keys.
00:39:01Maybe the killer took them from Mr. Worrell at the bowling club.
00:39:06How was this called in?
00:39:08999.
00:39:08No name given.
00:39:09Unusual for a killer to ring 999.
00:39:12Unless whoever did this isn't our killer.
00:39:15Maybe Mr. Pollock just disturbed a burglar stealing a painting.
00:39:19Like, for example, the house clearance expert that was sniffing around the cottage earlier.
00:39:24Speculation, Winter.
00:39:25But let's pay Mr. McManus a visit.
00:39:28I just want to have a quick look round.
00:39:30Archie Pollock said that he came here to pay his respects.
00:39:34Seems like an odd thing to do.
00:39:35Well, especially given that when I saw him earlier,
00:39:37he seemed more concerned about his good friend not being able to referee tomorrow
00:39:42than he was about him being dead.
00:39:43So he didn't come here to pay his respects.
00:39:46Then why was he here?
00:39:55No, I can do the job.
00:40:16It's got to be done by tomorrow afternoon.
00:40:17I'm tied up in the morning.
00:40:18Okay, okay.
00:40:22I'll do it as soon as I can.
00:40:25Deal.
00:40:27I need a word.
00:40:29The, um, quality pieces that you said Wilf Worrell owned,
00:40:33that you were curious about, did that include a painting?
00:40:35Yeah, a few.
00:40:36But one that was definitely worth a few, Bob, yeah.
00:40:38The one in the kitchen?
00:40:40Is that what you were gawping at through the window when I saw you?
00:40:43No.
00:40:44Tell me, if your job is being familiar with objects and their valuations,
00:40:47how much is that painting worth?
00:40:49At auction?
00:40:50Who knows?
00:40:51For insurance purposes, it's got to be in the region of 10k, maybe more.
00:40:55Tempting.
00:40:56And it's just been stolen.
00:40:58And whoever stole it assaulted Archie Pollock.
00:41:00I get it.
00:41:02You think I took the painting and assaulted Archie?
00:41:04If I'd stolen it, would I just tell you it was worth 10k?
00:41:07You might if it was worth more.
00:41:09Be my guest and check.
00:41:11I'm sure you will anyway.
00:41:14Anything else?
00:41:15I'm not about to go home.
00:41:17There is something else, actually.
00:41:19When I asked you where you were last night, you said you were at the pub.
00:41:22I was.
00:41:23You left early.
00:41:24Where did you go?
00:41:25Home.
00:41:27I was tired.
00:41:30Can I go now?
00:41:31There he is.
00:41:44I was tired.
00:41:47You are tired.
00:41:50Do you understand anything?
00:41:51I was tired.
00:41:52You are tired.
00:41:53You were out.
00:41:54I was tired.
00:41:55You are tired.
00:41:56Honestly, Jamie, I love it.
00:42:14Good.
00:42:16I was practicing all last night, which kept John and I awake,
00:42:20trying to catch up with Betty on the four fours.
00:42:23I think 73 is the closest we've come to divorce.
00:42:25Right, what do you think?
00:42:30That was pretty good.
00:42:32Oh, here's Einstein.
00:42:33Oh, morning, sir.
00:42:35Jamie's just been telling me all about grinders and tampers.
00:42:37Have you now?
00:42:38Well, I hate to interrupt coffee morning winter,
00:42:40but we have work to do.
00:42:43Are you planning a holiday, sir?
00:42:45Research, actually.
00:42:47Something Jack Pollock mentioned about starting a new life.
00:42:52Several developments overnight, sir.
00:42:54Harry Peterson doesn't just do residential.
00:42:56He's a partner in a chain of health care centers across Europe.
00:42:59Also, he's trying to buy some woodland on the edge of the village,
00:43:02but the application doesn't say what for.
00:43:05The bowling club and woodland.
00:43:06He clearly wants to make his mark.
00:43:08As for the other bidder, H is for Holly Appleby,
00:43:11and she's proving quite elusive.
00:43:12All I can find is a P.O. box in Midsomer Parva.
00:43:16Well, find out when she got the P.O. box.
00:43:18Yeah, we'll do so.
00:43:19Also, there was a message on Wilford's answer machine
00:43:22that you need to hear.
00:43:23It was left by Dale McManus two days ago.
00:43:27I'll keep this brief.
00:43:28I'm sick of it, and I've told you loads.
00:43:30Back off roof.
00:43:31You're a dead man.
00:43:33It's prophetic, to say the least.
00:43:35Mm.
00:43:43Get him, tiger.
00:43:45And Ollie, if you don't win, it's OK, right?
00:44:03I heard about the assault.
00:44:08Are you OK?
00:44:10Perfectly fine, thanks to you.
00:44:20Enjoyed last night?
00:44:22Me too.
00:44:24No, I'm tired of hiding.
00:44:27Not that gun.
00:44:28I had a fault this morning.
00:44:31We'll just go somewhere else, start fresh.
00:44:33But I'm serious.
00:44:35Are you playing games with me?
00:44:37No.
00:44:40After this, I've got a job to do, then I'm free.
00:44:45What do you say?
00:44:46What are we waiting for?
00:44:47Oi!
00:44:48Dale!
00:44:49Chop, chop!
00:44:50You need to get your eye in.
00:44:51Aren't you, mate?
00:44:52How's the head all right?
00:44:54Check with Jack Pollock about the rest of the pictures he took.
00:45:01The ones he didn't send us.
00:45:03Yeah, will do, sir.
00:45:04Hello.
00:45:10Everything all right?
00:45:11Oh, just worried about Archie, that's all.
00:45:14Tell me, how far do you think he'd go to win today?
00:45:17Oh, as far as needs be.
00:45:19That's what worries me.
00:45:22The medication you prescribed for Mr. Worrell, you mentioned statins and beta blockers.
00:45:28Yeah, that's right.
00:45:29If someone else took them, would they, for example, help with an arm tremor?
00:45:34Hmm.
00:45:35Then, they might, although taking someone else's medication is dangerous.
00:45:42And illegal.
00:45:49Their score, refereeing duties to turn to.
00:45:52Yeah, I'll break a leg.
00:45:53Hmm.
00:45:54Actually, Jenny.
00:45:55Nothing.
00:46:06Ah, Mr. Pollock.
00:46:07All those files that you sent us, some of them are missing.
00:46:10Were they?
00:46:11Well, I might have deleted some.
00:46:12Sure, but we'd still like to retrieve them if we can.
00:46:14Okay, can I get them to you later?
00:46:16We can do it now.
00:46:17Just, um, airdrop them to me.
00:46:21Yeah, I'm not sure I know how to do that.
00:46:23I can show you.
00:46:43Have you taken Will Smokes?
00:46:45Apart from being incredibly irresponsible, you do know that's essentially dumping.
00:46:49You should have given me a prescription, then.
00:46:51I have my reputation to think of.
00:46:53So do I.
00:46:54And mine's worth more than yours.
00:46:55Especially since Wolf told me all about you and Dale.
00:47:00Right.
00:47:01Dale.
00:47:02Heads.
00:47:03All these orbitals, you get to choose ends.
00:47:09Would you do east-west, please?
00:47:10Better lie the land.
00:47:11It'll take more than that.
00:47:12It'll take more than that.
00:47:13Archie, your Bowles Whisperers gets to choose who stars.
00:47:14They can.
00:47:15Right.
00:47:16Let's get ready.
00:47:17Right.
00:47:18Let's get ready.
00:47:20I'm sorry.
00:47:21I'm sorry.
00:47:22I'm sorry.
00:47:23I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:47:24I'm sorry.
00:47:25I'm sorry.
00:47:26You want to do this.
00:47:27I'm sorry.
00:47:28I'm sorry.
00:47:29I'm sorry.
00:47:30It's so sorry.
00:47:31You look at the end.
00:47:32live alone. It'll take more than that. Archie, your Bulls Whisperers gets to
00:47:37choose who stars. They can. Right, let's get ready.
00:48:02Here we go.
00:48:32You were right to check the photos, by the way.
00:48:58The ones that Jack Pollock didn't manage to send us
00:49:01all have one striking thing in common.
00:49:05They all show Archie Pollock arguing with Will Forrell.
00:49:10Yeah.
00:49:11Question is, what about?
00:49:13Let's speak to our bowling legend as soon as this match ends.
00:49:17We're on the deciding end now.
00:49:31We're on the deciding end now.
00:49:45We're on the deciding end now.
00:49:53We're on the deciding end now.
00:49:56We're on the deciding end.
00:50:32That's good.
00:50:54Over to you, Jenny.
00:51:02And the winner is...
00:51:14Oli Lovato!
00:51:15Yes!
00:51:16Yes!
00:51:17Yes!
00:51:18Yes!
00:51:19Yes!
00:51:20Absolute world!
00:51:21Ice cold!
00:51:22Come on!
00:51:23You lost it.
00:51:24I'm out of here, darling.
00:51:25Oh, boy!
00:51:26Here he comes.
00:51:27What was I meant to do?
00:51:28Look, you did the right thing.
00:51:29You are no daughter-in-law of mine!
00:51:30Don't know why you married her.
00:51:31You speak to Archie Pollock.
00:51:32I'll talk to Dale McManus.
00:51:33I will do.
00:51:34I will do.
00:51:35I will do.
00:51:36I will do.
00:51:37I will do.
00:51:38I will do.
00:51:39I will do.
00:51:40I will do.
00:51:41I will do.
00:51:42I will do.
00:51:43I will do.
00:51:44I will do.
00:51:45I will do.
00:51:47I'll do.
00:51:48I will do!
00:51:50You speak to Archie Pollock, I'll talk to Dale McMannister.
00:51:55I will do.
00:51:56Will they?
00:52:17Where is Mr. Pollock, senior?
00:52:19He stormed off.
00:52:20Not out front, he didn't.
00:52:21There was a back exit.
00:52:23I think he wanted to avoid people.
00:52:49He had just arrived.
00:52:50Not clear!
00:52:51But later this is on.
00:52:52Arrgh!
00:52:53There are things that are coming.
00:52:54You're just right.
00:52:55There's nothing in it.
00:52:56I'm trying to change a little bit of talent.
00:52:57But I don't know if it's what I think.
00:52:58That's what I'm doing here.
00:52:59Great.
00:53:00Happy 50 years.
00:53:01And I'll see you later.
00:53:02Will you go to the river?
00:53:04If you wish, there's no way to go on.
00:53:05Let's go.
00:53:35Let's go.
00:54:05Oh, didn't you know?
00:54:07You'll need a word.
00:54:13I'm guessing you're familiar with the identity of the bookman.
00:54:17I am.
00:54:19Dale McManus.
00:54:21Was it an accident?
00:54:23Hard to be sure, but we're checking the crane cabin for prints.
00:54:28I'll need to confirm, but preliminary indications suggest cause of death was a combination of blunt
00:54:35trauma to the head and compression of the chest area, leading to pneumothorax.
00:54:40Not pleasant.
00:54:44Noticed anything missing?
00:54:46It's van.
00:54:47Perhaps the killer took it.
00:54:49I'll put a marker on its circulator trace.
00:54:51What we do have though, about 30 metres over there, is a large collection of white goods.
00:54:56A fridge freezer, washing machine, the whole lot.
00:54:59Fly tipping.
00:55:00Hmm.
00:55:08Mr. Peterson.
00:55:11It was you who found Dale McManus's body, is that right?
00:55:13Yes, that's right.
00:55:14Well, just passing, were you?
00:55:16So soon, after your son's finest hour at the bowling club, seems a bit strange.
00:55:20I'm interested in buying that plot of woodland.
00:55:23I go there sometimes to think over my potential investment.
00:55:26And you just happened across Mr. McManus's body?
00:55:29That's correct, yes.
00:55:31Mr. Peterson, we can confiscate your phone and your computer and find out the real reason you went there,
00:55:37or you could save us some time and just tell us the truth.
00:55:44I was due to meet Jenny Pollock.
00:55:48I'm thinking of building a yoga centre there that she might run.
00:55:52That's very generous of you.
00:55:53Well, not at all. I'm a businessman. She's very good at what she does.
00:55:57It would be a sound investment.
00:55:59I see.
00:56:01Did Mr. McManus have anything to do with this plan?
00:56:04No, nothing at all.
00:56:05I was late getting there after celebrating with Ollie, and when I arrived, he was just lying there.
00:56:12So if you went to meet Mrs. Pollock, why wasn't she there?
00:56:15I don't know.
00:56:17She texted me to meet her there straight after the final.
00:56:20I didn't send a text to Harry.
00:56:22Mr. Peterson definitely received one. We saw it.
00:56:30No text, but you could have deleted it.
00:56:33I didn't.
00:56:34Then someone else must have.
00:56:36Who else would have had access to your phone? Presumably you have a passcode.
00:56:41One, two, three, four.
00:56:43It's guessable.
00:56:44But anyway, I always have my phone on me.
00:56:46The text was sent at 11.24, which is around the time the bowling final was due to start.
00:56:52Did you have your phone on you then?
00:56:54Actually, no. It was in my bag, which I left in the outhouse.
00:56:58So it could have been accessed there by anyone at the bowling match?
00:57:03Yeah, I suppose.
00:57:05This business venture you might be embarking on with Harry Peterson, is it public knowledge?
00:57:10What business venture?
00:57:11I think that answers my question.
00:57:13It's nothing, Jack. Really.
00:57:15Harry's thinking of buying some land and setting up a yoga centre.
00:57:19He has some experience in that area.
00:57:21Healthcare centres across Europe, etc.
00:57:23Exactly.
00:57:24What's that got to do with you?
00:57:26Well, he asked me if I wanted to run it.
00:57:28What? And you didn't tell me because...
00:57:30Because there's nothing to tell.
00:57:32Look, I'm not going to do it.
00:57:34I don't want to get into business with Harry. It's a non-starter.
00:57:40Mr Pollock, the photographs that you didn't send us to begin with showed your father and Mr Worrell arguing.
00:57:48Do you know all about?
00:57:49No, I don't.
00:57:51Was not sending us the photos just an oversight or did you think they might implicate your father?
00:58:00I was trying to protect him.
00:58:02Because you think he might have killed Mr Worrell?
00:58:04No, of course not. I just... I was worried, I guess. I knew it didn't look good.
00:58:11I know what they were arguing about.
00:58:14Archie told me about it last night as part of trying to get me to cheat on his behalf.
00:58:20He asked Wilf if he could have some of his meds to calm his arm. Wilf said no.
00:58:25So, Mr Pollock stole them after Mr Worrell was killed.
00:58:30Where is your father now?
00:58:32He refuses to be under the same roof as me.
00:58:35He's out walking. He'll be back soon. He'll calm down.
00:58:38Archie Pollock isn't going to calm down anytime soon. Winning the bulls meant too much to him.
00:58:48Something to do with unresolved grief about the death of his wife.
00:58:51What do you make of Mr and Mrs Pollock?
00:58:54I'm not sure. If it's just about a yoga centre, I don't see why Mrs Pollock didn't just tell her husband.
00:58:59Well, maybe she knew he'd be suspicious.
00:59:01I mean, she could be lying to cover her tracks.
00:59:03What about Harry Peterson?
00:59:05Well, we can't rule him out.
00:59:06He wouldn't be the first murderer to pretend to have found the body.
00:59:09We can't rule out Archie Pollock either.
00:59:11Keep digging on the Pollock family.
00:59:13It finances, background, everything.
00:59:15Yeah, will do.
00:59:16Do you know what Dale was planning on doing after the final?
00:59:19Um, he said he had a job to do, that's all.
00:59:21We needed to talk to him about a message he left on Mr Worrell's answer machine.
00:59:26You were mentioned in that message. We need to know what it was about.
00:59:33What is it, Mum?
00:59:34Dale and I were seeing each other.
00:59:40So that's where you were two nights ago?
00:59:42The night Mr Worrell was killed?
00:59:44Yes, me and Dale met up.
00:59:47That would explain why he left the pub early.
00:59:50Why not just say that you could have told me?
00:59:54No, I couldn't. I didn't want it to be public knowledge.
00:59:58Why was that?
01:00:00Chloe's dad ran off with a younger woman.
01:00:03And I was very publicly humiliated and devastated.
01:00:09And even more publicly a vocal opponent to inappropriately aged relationships.
01:00:17Dale was hardly a babe in arms.
01:00:19He was in his thirties, I'm in my fifties.
01:00:23But also I just, I didn't want my private life to be the talk of the village again.
01:00:28I hated that.
01:00:30So I wasn't comfortable going public until I was completely sure about Dale.
01:00:37And were you?
01:00:39Yes.
01:00:40Yes.
01:00:41I was.
01:00:42I was now.
01:00:43But when Mr Worrell found out about you two, he threatened to blap.
01:00:47Oh, and some.
01:00:49Wilf was old school.
01:00:51Disapproved.
01:00:52Loved having something over us.
01:00:54Famous for it.
01:00:55Radio Wilf, we called him.
01:00:57And no secret was safe.
01:00:59He loved seeing my discomfort reveled in it.
01:01:01He said the only thing he enjoyed more than dealing antiques was dealing in secrets.
01:01:06And Dale?
01:01:10Lovable hot head that he was.
01:01:13He hated seeing me being manipulated.
01:01:17So he left a message telling Wilf to keep quiet.
01:01:20His wording was quite severe.
01:01:24That was just Dale being protective.
01:01:26He went in a bit heavy.
01:01:28Didn't mean anything by it.
01:01:31He didn't kill him, if that's what you're thinking.
01:01:34I don't know what you're so worried about, Mum.
01:01:37Not the only one round here misbehaving.
01:01:39Well, who else is?
01:01:41Well, Harry and Jenny, for starters.
01:01:45Saw them having a lover's tiff out in the woods.
01:01:47They say that they were discussing a joint business venture.
01:01:50Believe me, what I saw was no business talk.
01:01:53I'm surprised.
01:01:54I thought she'd seen him off.
01:01:56Seen him off? In what way?
01:01:58Well, when Harry moved in, he made no secret of the fact that he was attracted to Jenny.
01:02:03It was the talk of the village.
01:02:04Like Jack's mum and Teddy Mokahi all over again.
01:02:08Jenny fobbed him off. At least we thought she did.
01:02:12Something Mr. Peterson said.
01:02:15Well, he can't buy happiness.
01:02:17Maybe he was talking about Jenny.
01:02:19How did Jack Pollock handle all this?
01:02:22Jack's Jack. He just lets these things roll over him.
01:02:25secondoå¸
01:02:34If he didn't get the art.
01:02:35He doesn't wear a mask.
01:02:37He's wearing a mask.
01:02:39He's wearing a mask.
01:02:41Holding a mask.
01:02:42Before he says, he's wearing a mask.
01:02:44He looks like he's wearing a mask.
01:02:45And he's wearing a mask.
01:02:46He's wearing a mask.
01:02:47I'm wearing a mask.
01:02:48Sir, news on our anonymous second bidder, Holly Appleby.
01:02:58She started the P.O. Box four years ago.
01:03:01There's a lot of falls in the ether at the moment,
01:03:04the 4-4 Challenge.
01:03:05Four years Holly Appleby has had her P.O. Box,
01:03:08and it's four years since Libby Trevor moved to the area.
01:03:12Before that, Holly Appleby lived in Aspern Tallow.
01:03:15She went through a messy divorce, ended up in the courts,
01:03:18but why open a P.O. Box?
01:03:20To protect her anonymity when she moved on, perhaps.
01:03:24Interestingly, Libby Trevor said she moved here on her own.
01:03:28Hmm.
01:03:29Thinking that maybe Holly Appleby changed her name to Libby Trevor?
01:03:32Possibly, but why would an assistant groundswoman
01:03:34put in a bid to buy the bowling club?
01:03:36Because she loves her job.
01:03:39Well, you say that, but if that's the case,
01:03:41what are all these bowling balls still doing out here?
01:03:43Why wouldn't Libby Trevor put them away after the final?
01:03:46Unless she left in a hurry.
01:04:06Busy?
01:04:07Oh, uh, what?
01:04:08No, um, no.
01:04:09I was just sorting.
01:04:11Mind if we take a look in the greenhouse?
01:04:12Hmm.
01:04:20Vanilla.
01:04:26That's not earth on your hands, is it?
01:04:28It's vanilla scented coffee.
01:04:31And this is the real Midsomer Mocco.
01:04:35Time to come clean, Holly.
01:04:37It is Holly, isn't it?
01:04:38It is Holly, isn't it?
01:04:41No, it is.
01:04:41It is fine.
01:04:49No, it is.
01:05:03Hello?
01:05:03Dale!
01:05:06Is that you?
01:05:30Cheers, mate. Thank you.
01:05:33Thank you, sir.
01:05:36Hey, which one do you want to try this time?
01:05:38Something authentic would be good.
01:05:40OK. What can I hit you with?
01:05:43Colombian? Guatemalan?
01:05:45Well, actually, you can hit me with the truth
01:05:48and fill me in about Dale McManus blackmailing you.
01:05:51Or I can introduce you to the Causton CID coffee machine,
01:05:54which is about as authentic as you are.
01:05:57Yes, you are.
01:06:04My marriage...
01:06:07was abusive.
01:06:11But I finally got out of it
01:06:12and I started over in Midsomer Deverell.
01:06:14Changing your name and trying to make sure your ex couldn't track you down.
01:06:19Libby...
01:06:21started out as Liberty.
01:06:24A sign of my new freedom.
01:06:27All I wanted to do was belong
01:06:31and I thought that the bowling club would...
01:06:35would do that.
01:06:36But Mr. Worrell made it difficult.
01:06:39Wolf was a bully.
01:06:41Which wasn't good for me because it reminded me of...
01:06:48of what I had fought so hard to escape from.
01:06:55Earlier you were very complimentary about Mr. Worrell.
01:06:57You said he was like a mentor to you.
01:06:59Why lie?
01:07:01I'm sorry, I guess...
01:07:03I guess I didn't want to speak ill of the dead.
01:07:06I didn't want to have to admit all this.
01:07:12How did you become involved with Midsomer Mocker?
01:07:16I liked Lucas's dream.
01:07:19And I was trying to figure out how to do something positive
01:07:23with a property that I owned in Aspen Tallow.
01:07:27So I thought that if I sold it, I could use the proceeds as collateral.
01:07:32To join forces and help to buy the bowling club.
01:07:36That was the theory.
01:07:39But in practice it's proving kinda different.
01:07:45That's...
01:07:46That's the thing with dreams.
01:07:47They don't always come true.
01:07:52With Libby's backing,
01:07:53the plan is to turn the bowling club into a coffee emporium.
01:07:57With an outside space for coffee events and music gigs.
01:08:00Emporium.
01:08:01We've hardly won over the hearts and minds so far.
01:08:03We just need time.
01:08:04You can make the best coffee in the world, source the best growers, use the finest beans...
01:08:11But if you don't have anyone to drink it?
01:08:14We've seen your setup in Libby's greenhouse.
01:08:18Everything here is fake.
01:08:20We just needed to reduce costs in order to survive.
01:08:24Until things take off.
01:08:26By importing the cheapest beans that you can find.
01:08:29Probably not ethically sourced.
01:08:30And roasting them yourself.
01:08:32It's not gonna be forever.
01:08:34And you assumed that no one would find out.
01:08:37But Dale McManus did.
01:08:39I've accessed his emails.
01:08:41He found out what you and Libby are up to and he's been trying to extort money from you.
01:08:45Money I haven't got.
01:08:47You might if you broke into Wilf Worrell's house and stole a painting.
01:08:51Did Wilf find out your little secret too?
01:08:55What?
01:08:56No.
01:08:58Look, I didn't like Wilf.
01:08:59Wilf didn't like me, but I didn't steal any painting.
01:09:03What do you think I am?
01:09:05A fraud.
01:09:06Someone desperate to keep their dream alive.
01:09:11Dale McManus was found dead earlier today.
01:09:18I swear I don't know anything about that.
01:09:24Lucas Shaw?
01:09:26He's admitted fraud, but he's adamant that he didn't kill anyone.
01:09:29And I think he's telling the truth.
01:09:31He's misguided, but he isn't a killer.
01:09:34What about Libby Trevor?
01:09:35I don't think she's killed anyone either.
01:09:38So who did kill Dale McManus?
01:09:40And why?
01:09:43I wonder if we might be taking Mr. McManus's death too much at face value.
01:09:48Meaning?
01:09:49We know that Harry Peterson received a text message from someone wanting to meet him in the woods.
01:09:56But he was delayed by the match celebrations with his son.
01:10:00So what if Mr. McManus in the woods to dump white goods was just in the wrong place at the wrong time?
01:10:07And Harry Peterson was the real type.
01:10:09Indeed.
01:10:10How are we doing with the Pollock family background?
01:10:14Financials are interesting.
01:10:16Accounts are all in order.
01:10:18But you were right to look into the Turks and Caicos.
01:10:21Some years ago Jack Pollock lost a whole pile of money in an investment there.
01:10:25And apart from that, everything's above board.
01:10:28Interestingly though, he did the accounts of Teddy Mulcahy.
01:10:32Oh.
01:10:33His father's nemesis.
01:10:35And presumably historic accounts given that Mr. Mulcahy's been dead for years.
01:10:40I guess.
01:10:41I'll check.
01:10:42Uh, Mr. Pollock, how can I help?
01:10:51We're on our way.
01:10:54Jack Pollock.
01:10:56He says his father's been kidnapped.
01:11:04Any further word?
01:11:07Anonymous email demanding a quarter of a million pounds as a ransom.
01:11:10We'll try and trace the sender.
01:11:13Four hours to find that money.
01:11:14How am I going to do that?
01:11:15You're not.
01:11:16We don't recommend giving in to ransom demands.
01:11:18And this seems more like an act of financial desperation than anything else.
01:11:21It's easy for you to say it's not your father whose life's in danger.
01:11:24If I had the money, I'd hand it over right this second.
01:11:26Can we borrow against the house?
01:11:27I've already spoken to the bank.
01:11:28There isn't the time.
01:11:29You don't have that kind of money.
01:11:31Maybe we could call him local support.
01:11:33We'd never raise enough.
01:11:34What about Harry?
01:11:36I could ask him.
01:11:37We could ask him.
01:11:38Thanks.
01:11:39Uniform have triangulated the signal and found your father's phone.
01:11:42It's a roadside on a country lane.
01:11:44We'll head over there.
01:11:45Yeah.
01:11:46In the meantime, please don't do anything without talking to us.
01:11:49I doubt there's much in the way of road cameras here.
01:12:00There might be one at the junction where the road meets the village.
01:12:03We'll get tech onto it urgently.
01:12:05One mobile phone and one discarded bowling ball.
01:12:17Is that blood?
01:12:18Actually, it's coffee.
01:12:20Yeah.
01:12:21If it's still wet, we could get Winter to do a taste test.
01:12:23Already done it.
01:12:24We'll do a GC-MS test in the lab to make sure, but I did the old PTT.
01:12:31Pipette tongue taste.
01:12:33My guess would be powdered instant.
01:12:36I can't just sit here and do nothing.
01:12:39Dad's out there somewhere.
01:12:40It's all my fault.
01:12:41Look, I don't like the idea, but I think we have to do what you suggested.
01:12:43Ask Harry.
01:12:44What about the police?
01:12:45I don't like the idea, but I think we have to do what you suggested.
01:12:50Ask Harry.
01:12:51What about the police?
01:12:52I don't like the idea, but I think we have to do what you suggested.
01:13:08Ask Harry.
01:13:09What about the police?
01:13:11What about them?
01:13:12Harry.
01:13:13It's me.
01:13:18What's the connection between the murders and the kidnapping?
01:13:36Money.
01:13:37Someone is desperate for it.
01:13:39They stole a valuable painting from Mr. Worrell and now they want a quarter of a million pounds for the return of Archie Pollock.
01:13:46Why?
01:13:47Greed?
01:13:48Debt, more like.
01:13:49I think someone got into trouble and made the mistake of asking Mr. Worrell, who you said had money, to borrow some.
01:13:55Mr. Worrell said no, because he's an old curmudgeon.
01:13:58Who likes nothing better than dealing in other people's secrets. He threatens to tell the world and so needs to be silenced.
01:14:05You know what's really bugging me about these photos is that they're not shots of Jenny Pollock with Archie and Wilf in the background.
01:14:16The two men are the main subject of the pictures.
01:14:20Meaning that Jack Pollock was curious about the argument, which was just about meds.
01:14:24He said he didn't know what it was about. But maybe he thought they were arguing about something else.
01:14:29Hmm.
01:14:30Well, we checked out Teddy Mulcahy's accounts. And interestingly, so was the tax man.
01:14:35Heavily in debt and still active. We're pending imminent investigation.
01:14:40So the financial clock is ticking and the net closing in.
01:14:43Who would know how to keep a dead man's accounts alive?
01:14:49Jack Pollock would.
01:14:51He hasn't kidnapped his own father, has he?
01:14:56Winter.
01:14:58Ah, OK. Yeah, thanks.
01:15:01Patrol have sighted Dale McManus's van in a field next to the woods.
01:15:06Let's go.
01:15:17What are you doing here?
01:15:18I could ask you the same question. I asked you not to do anything without talking to us.
01:15:22You don't understand. They said to come alone.
01:15:24To, uh, to use Harry's phone to transfer the money. Then and only then would Dad be released.
01:15:31We need to do what they say. Transfer the money.
01:15:34Don't.
01:15:35Look, quick, quick. The time's running out.
01:15:39It is indeed, Mr. Pollock.
01:15:42There are no kidnappers because there was no kidnapping, was there?
01:15:46Someone tell me what the hell is going on.
01:15:48Mr. Pollock has faked his father's kidnapping.
01:15:51Jenny, what...
01:15:53What's going on? What are you doing here?
01:15:55I need to know what's happening.
01:15:56Mr. Pollock here, one failed Turks and Caicos investment behind him, needed to do something.
01:16:03Prove himself to his father and provide for his wife.
01:16:06Was...
01:16:07Mr. Peterson's arrival in the village the trigger, the dashing international businessman?
01:16:12You couldn't compete?
01:16:14Well, you tried to, by making investments under a false name.
01:16:17Your father's nemesis, Teddy Mulcahy.
01:16:19Was that some kind of private joke to get at your father? Why?
01:16:22Because he wasn't there for me. He was never there. After Mum died, he was too obsessed with his stupid bowling!
01:16:35So when your fake investments went wrong with the tax man looming, you asked Wilf Worrell to bail you out.
01:16:44What a mistake that was. He said no and started lording it over me.
01:16:49Which explains the photos. You were never worried how those photos looked for your father.
01:16:54I saw Wilf having words with Dad. I thought he was telling him about me.
01:16:58And I needed to know for sure. So I went back, but he...
01:17:01He wasn't, but that just made things worse.
01:17:03So you needed to silence him. And knowing where Mr. Worrell kept the keys, you went to the outhouse.
01:17:10You killed him. And then tried to point the finger at your nemesis, Harry.
01:17:15You thought H-A might be enough.
01:17:17I wasn't thinking straight. I needed money, fast.
01:17:20So you stole a painting, accidentally assaulting your father in the process.
01:17:24And then you decide to target Harry direct.
01:17:27You used Jenny's phone to lure him to the woods only.
01:17:31That doesn't work either. Harry's delayed and you kill an innocent man.
01:17:36I didn't mean to kill Dale. He was...
01:17:39The wrong man in the wrong place.
01:17:41You're... You're panicked. You're lost. And then...
01:17:45It hits you. The solution to everything.
01:17:49Pretend to kidnap your father.
01:17:51Demand a ransom that will clear your debts once and for all.
01:17:54Knowing that your wife would turn to Harry to pay for it.
01:17:57Before he's killed by kidnappers.
01:18:00Otherwise known as you.
01:18:02Jack.
01:18:03It should have been him.
01:18:05Stay back.
01:18:06Or I'll kill him.
01:18:07Put the knife down, Jack. It won't help.
01:18:08I was so close.
01:18:09To sailing off into the sunset.
01:18:10Just...
01:18:11I wanted us to be happy.
01:18:12I wanted us to be together.
01:18:13I am.
01:18:14We are.
01:18:15No, no.
01:18:16You're having an affair.
01:18:17I'm not.
01:18:18I've seen all your messages.
01:18:20I've seen your secret meetings.
01:18:22The fear of being caught.
01:18:23Because I didn't want you to think this.
01:18:24Right.
01:18:25I'm not.
01:18:26I'm not.
01:18:27I'm not.
01:18:28I'm not.
01:18:29I'm not.
01:18:30I'm not.
01:18:31I'm not.
01:18:32I'm not.
01:18:33I'm not.
01:18:34I'm not.
01:18:35I'm not.
01:18:36I'm not.
01:18:37I'm not.
01:18:38I'm not.
01:18:39I'm not.
01:18:40I'm not.
01:18:41I'm not.
01:18:42I'm not.
01:18:43Right.
01:18:44You're gonna run off with him.
01:18:46And live happily ever after.
01:18:48And you know what?
01:18:49I don't blame you.
01:18:50Because I can't compete with him.
01:18:53Look at me.
01:18:55Look at me.
01:18:57And tell me you weren't tempted.
01:18:59Okay, I was.
01:19:02But I didn't give in to it.
01:19:05I stayed true.
01:19:07Because I love you.
01:19:10It's true.
01:19:11She loves you.
01:19:12Not me.
01:19:13What have you done, Jack?
01:19:14Your wife doesn't cheat.
01:19:15You just believe the gossip.
01:19:16I was a laughing stock.
01:19:17You're not.
01:19:18Nothing happened.
01:19:19I wanted it to.
01:19:20But Jenny refused.
01:19:21Even when I just wanted to invest in her with a yoga center.
01:19:26She refused that too.
01:19:27She thought it would be inappropriate.
01:19:28You had the dream already.
01:19:29You were living it.
01:19:30Oh God.
01:19:31Oh God.
01:19:32I wanted it to, but Jenny refused.
01:19:36Even when I just wanted to invest in her with a yoga center,
01:19:39she refused that too. She thought it would be inappropriate.
01:19:44You had the dream already.
01:19:48You were living it.
01:19:57Oh, God!
01:20:02I'm sorry, Dad.
01:20:30Selma.
01:20:33Oh, come on, everybody wants to see the trophy.
01:20:38I give you the 4x4 Maths Challenge Champion!
01:20:42Yay!
01:20:44And it was all her own work.
01:20:46It was, actually. We were rubbish.
01:20:48I gather we have a new challenge.
01:20:50Yeah, we do indeed.
01:20:51A bowling match. These were my grandfather's pride and joy.
01:20:57Oh, and we also have to honor Harry Peterson's successful bid to buy the Midsummer Deverall Bowling Club.
01:21:01He plans to modernize it and keep it as a bowling club for his son to play at.
01:21:05Very good.
01:21:07They, uh, had names for their teams, didn't they?
01:21:10They did.
01:21:11There's Archie's Bowls Whisperers and Ollie's Orbitals.
01:21:15And I've been giving some thought to, uh, a name for us.
01:21:18And in every sense, you can't beat Barnaby's Bowling Bevies.
01:21:22Are you comparing me to a drink?
01:21:24That's something else I'm very fond of.
01:21:26I thought of, uh, Fleur Power or...
01:21:31The Flying Fleurs.
01:21:33But I'll leave it to Jamie.
01:21:36Winter Milan.
01:21:37Oh, come on.
01:21:39Back there, friend.
01:21:40Yeah, that is.
01:21:48Oh, no. Come on.
01:21:50Oh, yeah!
01:22:06Oh!
01:22:07Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
01:22:10Oh, I think we did it.
01:22:11He, he, he, he, he, he, he, he.
01:22:18Oh, wow.
01:22:20I think the clear winner is...
01:22:25What? Hang on.
01:22:26That's cheating!
01:22:28Of course it's not.
01:22:29It's a bowl, isn't it?
01:22:31Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
01:22:33Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
