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?
00:02:43No 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 it out, 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
00:03:35Bunch of losers, that one
00:03:35Lovely evening for it
00:03:39Come on, Cycle, don't forget to leave the championship
00:03:42Bye, Chef
00:03:43Stop
00:03:44No, no, no
00:03:44No, no
00:03:46No, no
00:03:47No, no
00:03:47No, no
00:03:48No, no
00:03:49No, no
00:03:50No, no
00:03:52No, no
00:03:52No, no
00:03:54No, no
00:03:55No
00:03:56No
00:03:57No
00:03:58No
00:03:59No
00:04:00No
00:04:01No
00:04:01No
00:04:02No
00:04:03No
00:04:04Oh, my God.
00:04:34I don't know.
00:05:04I don't know.
00:05:34I don't know.
00:06:04The square root of 4, which is 2, equals 18.
00:06:08Well done, darling.
00:06:10The 4-4 math challenge.
00:06:12Remember it well.
00:06:1319?
00:06:15Oh, 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.
00:06:224 factorial, 24, minus 4, minus 4, over 4, 19.
00:06:29She knows that he's actually up to 53, but John's more likely to let her stay up late tonight if he feels like he's out.
00:06:35That's top maths, that, sir.
00:06:39Well done.
00:06:40Well, thank you.
00:06:41And I'm actually more of a Shakespeare man, really.
00:06:43See you later.
00:06:45Oh, my God.
00:07:07Victim is Wilfred Wilf Worrell, 80, widower,
00:07:10retired antiques dealer and grounds...
00:07:15I never really understood the fascination with bowls.
00:07:17Really, I love a bit of bowling.
00:07:19I just play with my grandad all the time.
00:07:21You know, it dates back to the 13th century.
00:07:23It's surprisingly skilled.
00:07:25It's all in the wrist action.
00:07:27Right.
00:07:29Great.
00:07:31More numbers.
00:07:33Morning, Fleur.
00:07:35Morning.
00:07:37Quite a mouthful.
00:07:39Was that to silence him?
00:07:41Whatever it was for, it wasn't the cause of death.
00:07:43That's PBI.
00:07:45Penetrating brain injury to you.
00:07:47Caused by these.
00:07:49Measuring calipers.
00:07:51Thrust into the nasal cavity with considerable force.
00:07:53Indications of cranial penetration and associated cerebral trauma.
00:07:57Triggering intracranial hemorrhage.
00:07:59Triggering intracranial hemorrhage.
00:08:01Victim could have had them on him.
00:08:03Or they might have been taken from the outhouse over there.
00:08:07Hmm.
00:08:25Time of death?
00:08:25Judging from the lividity of the bruising around the nostrils, I'd say we're talking early evening.
00:08:31What about these markers? It looks like the victim placed them there themselves.
00:08:36place 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.
00:08:49That would be the Dawn Chorus Yoga Club.
00:08:53Yes, yoga teacher Jenny Pollock,
00:08:58along with mother and daughter Ruth and Chloe Gillen.
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.
00:09:18Ruth Gillen?
00:09:22Was, uh, Wilf Worrell a mainstay of the club?
00:09:25He 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, local horticulturalist.
00:09:48Amazing at what she does and the patience of a saint with Wilf.
00:09:52Do you need to get that?
00:09:56No, it's just the surgery chasing.
00:10:02Did anyone not have patients 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?
00:10:14I 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?
00:10:27Shaw.
00:10:28Runs Midsummer Mocha, a brand new trendy coffee place.
00:10:32Not everyone's cup of tea.
00:10:35Or coffee.
00:10:36And did Mr Worrell cheat?
00:10:39Well, possibly, but Lucas overreacted.
00:10:42He'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 youngsters bowling team together,
00:10:58Wilf resisted their entrance to the club and tried to get them thrown out.
00:11:01For what?
00:11:02Oh, anything.
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?
00:11:15Well, our finances are perilous.
00:11:18Membership's fallen off the edge of a cliff.
00:11:21Mainly 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.
00:11:32I see he also won in 1926.
00:11:35Oh, his grandfather.
00:11:36He 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,
00:11:47Teddy 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.
00:11:55Jenny Pollock, Chloe Gillen, Diaz Winter.
00:12:00Guilty as charged.
00:12:02And, er, you are?
00:12:04Er, Libby Trevor, groundswoman.
00:12:09Sorry, um, excuse me.
00:12:12Sorry.
00:12:12Look, excuse me, you can't stand there.
00:12:16Can you tell me what you were doing here this morning?
00:12:19Yeah, I run a sunrise yoga class here twice a week.
00:12:23Oh.
00:12:23And my mum approved it.
00:12:24She 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.
00:12:30No, Wolf wasn't happy about anything.
00:12:32I'm a tanker of this 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.
00:12:46I mean, personally, I could do without seeing Dale and his downward dog
00:12:48at the crack of dawn twice a week, but...
00:12:51I 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?
00:12:59Um, someone'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. Old school.
00:13:10Dinosaur, more likely.
00:13:11Jenny.
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.
00:13:27Flash 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
00:13:43empire 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.
00:13:52They were saying yesterday that Harry's bid is dead in the water.
00:13:56Jack?
00:13:57Oh, club accountant, Archie's son.
00:13:59He 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.
00:14:06Oh, by all means.
00:14:08And who is the other potential buyer you mentioned too?
00:14:11We 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.
00:14:25All soccer 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.
00:14:54So, where were you last night then?
00:14:56Well, never mind me. Where were you?
00:14:59Pub, then boringly tucked in bed with a book.
00:15:02You, you, Dr. Dirty's stop-out, didn't make it home unnoticed.
00:15:06Well, for your information, I went back to the surgery,
00:15:09to 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. Millions 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.
00:15:24Come on, he's fun, he's charismatic, loaded.
00:15:28And I'm getting really well with his son.
00:15:29And, uh, Dale?
00:15:31Oh, please, mother.
00:15:32He's a glorified man with a van.
00:15:34He's not even a contender.
00:15:36Hi, Harry.
00:15:38Hi, ladies.
00:15:41I mean, seriously, what's not to like?
00:15:46See you later.
00:15:46Wow.
00:15:55Who died?
00:15:57Chloe, can you not?
00:15:59Positivity, please.
00:16:01There'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,
00:16:10it'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 Medeverill.
00:16:20Tomorrow, the world.
00:16:22If you say so, coffee man.
00:16:26I do.
00:16:28I do say so.
00:16:29There's police crawling everywhere.
00:16:46They'll be calmed out.
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'll 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, okay?
00:16:59We're going to stay calm and carry on as planned.
00:17:07Tell 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.
00:17:18I gather you and Mr Worrell no longer believe that Harry Peterson's bid is a goer.
00:17:26That'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.
00:17:32Which is Mr. Peterson's plan?
00:17:36That's what he does for a living.
00:17:40Look, I was told in confidence, but made the mistake of telling Wilf who wanted to blab it to the world.
00:17:47Which could have ruined everything.
00:17:48Does Harry Peterson know about this?
00:17:52Might Mr. Worrell have blabbed about it to him?
00:17:56Very possibly. Wilf was nothing if not a stirrer.
00:18:00I'll need an address for Mr. Peterson if you have it.
00:18:03Sure.
00:18:04And would Mr. Worrell blabbing be annoying for you?
00:18:08Well, 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?
00:18:18Well, I've been taking photos of Jenny for her yoga and then I dropped her home and went to the swan.
00:18:23A few of us did.
00:18:25These photos, were they taken around the club generally?
00:18:27Yeah.
00:18:28All over, just 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.
00:18:40Big match tomorrow.
00:18:41The match.
00:18:42Climax 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.
00:19:01A mountebank.
00:19:03Which 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.
00:19:19Dad.
00:19:20What?
00:19:22Just saying.
00:19:23You look after the club, I'll sort the bowls.
00:19:25Everything all right, Mr. Pollock?
00:19:30Just a twinge.
00:19:31There's something wrong with you.
00:19:33No, it's fine.
00:19:33I mean, you haven't.
00:19:56Oh, my God.
00:20:26How did you get on at Mr. Worrell's?
00:20:41Nice 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
00:20:54could become ambulance chaser.
00:20:55Dale McManus might be interested in him.
00:20:57Caught him snooping around.
00:20:59Check him out.
00:21:01Also, Mr. Worrell had an old school landline,
00:21:04and the last person to call him at 5 o'clock yesterday
00:21:06was Flash Harry Peace.
00:21:08Ah.
00:21:09Just as well I'm about to meet him.
00:21:20I knocked, but, uh, is your dad here?
00:21:27Said he'd be back soon.
00:21:27You know, if you're a bit of a maths buff,
00:21:33maybe you can help me with something.
00:21:36Is there anything special about the number 81?
00:21:38Nine square, three to the power of four.
00:21:41OK.
00:21:44So this is all about bowling?
00:21:46It is.
00:21:46I'm, uh, trying to protect the part of the bowling ball tech.
00:21:52Accuracy is everything, unless the ref's cheating.
00:21:57I take it you're referring to Mr. Worrell?
00:22:00Why might he do that, do you think?
00:22:02Pick on some breaking rules, not 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.
00:22:32Excuse 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,
00:22:43and sell it as coffee.
00:22:44There are rules and regulations.
00:22:46We have to do this properly.
00:22:48We'll never get investment from someone like Harry Peterson.
00:22:52Hi.
00:22:53Hey.
00:22:54DS Winter, Causton CID.
00:22:57What can we get you?
00:22:58How about this one?
00:23:00Parisa.
00:23:00It's a nutty bean, responsibly sourced
00:23:02from a cooperative in Nicaragua.
00:23:05Or perhaps you fancy a Brazilian.
00:23:10Yes, yes, maybe, maybe in a minute.
00:23:13How has the cafe been received so far?
00:23:18Wilf despised us and, generally speaking, a destination coffee shop isn't exactly top of the village wish list.
00:23:26Most people here are still wedded to powdered instant and a kettle.
00:23:29Same at the bowling club.
00:23:31Their website's like somewhere from the dark ages.
00:23:33Jack did the puzzles, Wilf did the jokes, everyone a belter.
00:23:37We joined hoping to encourage some cross-fertilization.
00:23:40No, 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.
00:23:51I worked in cafes all over the world, Madrid, Ecuador, Guatemala, got tired of working for
00:24:00other people.
00:24:01And my family are from around here, so this is my dream.
00:24:06I'll do anything to make it work.
00:24:10What did you do after the game last night?
00:24:11Mr. McManus said something about going to the pub.
00:24:14Yeah.
00:24:15A bunch of us did.
00:24:16A bunch of us did.
00:24:17And, uh, one of those.
00:24:19Uh, yeah.
00:24:20Yeah, sure.
00:24:21He's a bright kid, your son.
00:24:25Doesn't get it from me.
00:24:27Really?
00:24:28I heard that you were a successful architect turned property magnate.
00:24:33I can talk the talk, but I'm no good at maths.
00:24:36Not on Ollie's league, anyway.
00:24:37You know, he's just still a teenager, but he's already been in touch with the European Space
00:24:42Agency about a mentorship scheme they run.
00:24:44Impressive.
00:24:45Is it just the two of you?
00:24:47It is.
00:24:48Money can buy lots of things, but it seems happiness is not one of them.
00:24:54Ollie's mum lives abroad.
00:24:57He misses her, and, uh, well, 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, Chloe Gillan took a punt on Ollie, and he hasn't looked back.
00:25:16Swapped one obsession, orbital trajectories in space, for another, Lorne Bowles.
00:25:22Who knew?
00:25:23He loves it.
00:25:24Hmm.
00:25:25But 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, and the sooner he learns that, the better.
00:25:36Hmm.
00:25:37Where were you last night, around six o'clock?
00:25:42I 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?
00:25:51Mainly, 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?
00:26:34Oh, 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.
00:26:46I had no idea you ate pencils.
00:26:48I, um, I 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, H. 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.
00:27:12Hmm, I'll do.
00:27:13Oh, also, 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.
00:27:36Oh, Fleur wants a word.
00:27:44Glad you could join.
00:27:48I'm working on the numbers.
00:27:50Do you have any cryptic word games while waiting for lab results, Fleur?
00:27:56You don't get to be head of Causton Cadaver's pubquist team without practice.
00:28:03So 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.
00:28:17Or our anonymous bidder, H. Appleby.
00:28:19Whoever they may be.
00:28:23The victim held one of the markers as if he placed him on the ground himself.
00:28:29Was he trying to help identify his killer?
00:28:32That implies Mr. Worrell, after having caliparins thrusting to his brain...
00:28:36Had time to think of the idea and execute it before dying.
00:28:40I can check, but I suspect death was instantaneous.
00:28:45It would also imply that the killer left the scene without checking the victim was dead.
00:28:50Impossible, but careless.
00:28:52Okay, so...
00:28:54Alternatively...
00:28:55The 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.
00:29:08They're numbered JPEGs, but there's quite a few of them missing.
00:29:11Why 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.
00:29:23Well, maybe he unlocked it after people left.
00:29:25Yeah, maybe.
00:29:27Or someone else could have.
00:29:29Apart from Mr. Worrell, who else would have keys?
00:29:31His colleague, Libby Trevor.
00:29:33Ah.
00:29:35Horticulturalist with the Patience of a Saint.
00:29:38Let's talk to her.
00:29:47Is the yoga meeting good?
00:29:51Yeah. Fab.
00:29:53I'll grab coffees.
00:29:56Hi, Claude.
00:29:57Two latties, please.
00:29:59Chat with you now, is he?
00:30:01Not Harry?
00:30:02You know the good-looking, very successful, super-minted Harry?
00:30:06No. Why would he be?
00:30:07Good question.
00:30:09Do you know what?
00:30:10Forget the coffees.
00:30:12Let's go.
00:30:14Nothing.
00:30:16What are you doing here?
00:30:17I've done an emergency appointment.
00:30:18You want to answer them on course?
00:30:19You've been busy.
00:30:20I'm not here.
00:30:21I'm not here.
00:30:23I'll see you later.
00:30:24I-I don't know.
00:30:25We have to be careful.
00:30:26Do we?
00:30:27Why?
00:30:28Who cares?
00:30:29Well, I do.
00:30:30And we're off dead.
00:30:31I'm not here.
00:30:32I'm not here.
00:30:33I'm not here.
00:30:34I'm not here.
00:30:36I'll see you later.
00:30:38I-I don't know.
00:30:39We have to be careful.
00:30:40Do we?
00:30:41Why?
00:30:42Who cares?
00:30:43Well, I do.
00:30:44And Wilf did, didn't he?
00:30:46Oh, Wilf's not a problem anymore, is he?
00:30:49Look, um...
00:30:51Maybe we should just leave it, you know?
00:30:55We had our fun.
00:30:56I mean...
00:30:58It's no big deal, is it?
00:30:59And...
00:31:00You are that bit younger than me.
00:31:02And what's that got to do with anything?
00:31:05Well...
00:31:06I thought, um...
00:31:08Maybe...
00:31:09Maybe you liked Chloe?
00:31:12Based on...
00:31:14You two flirting, aren't we now?
00:31:16A correction that your daughter flirting.
00:31:18She'll do for England, by the way.
00:31:19Literally anyone.
00:31:22It's...
00:31:23It's absolutely fine if you do.
00:31:24But if that is the case, then...
00:31:27I'd rather we drew the line now.
00:31:29I'm not into Chloe.
00:31:32Ruth...
00:31:35The 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?
00:31:44No.
00:32:09Afternoon, Miss Trevor. May we come in?
00:32:11Yes.
00:32:12Uh...
00:32:13Sorry about all the plants.
00:32:16They...
00:32:17They calm me.
00:32:18And...
00:32:19I like the scents.
00:32:21Personally, I'm getting a rather strong aroma of vanilla.
00:32:25I don't know what that can be.
00:32:28How did you get on with Mr. Worrell?
00:32:31Well...
00:32:33Yeah, great.
00:32:35He 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.
00:32:46I was on my own.
00:32:47I fell in with the bowling brigade.
00:32:50And I wanted to firm that up somehow.
00:32:52So I...
00:32:53I became the groundswoman.
00:32:55I gather Mr. Worrell could be quite difficult.
00:32:57Well...
00:32:59No, not at all.
00:33:00Who told you that?
00:33:02Ruth Gillen said he wasn't the easiest person to work for.
00:33:05Well...
00:33:06He was great.
00:33:08I mean, working...
00:33:09With someone from a different generation has its challenges, right?
00:33:14The...
00:33:15The 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.
00:33:24Just me and Wilf, why?
00:33:25Because 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?
00:33:35Sure.
00:33:37Oh, apart from Dale.
00:33:39Yeah, he left early.
00:33:40Did he now?
00:33:41Dale didn't say anything about leaving the pub earlier when I asked him.
00:33:50Well, keep digging.
00:33:51Likewise, Miss Trevor.
00:33:53She's on edge.
00:33:54She's lying about something.
00:34:11He was just the one, and he was just the one for us.
00:34:12With a rope, we got his back...
00:34:13She's lying about something.
00:34:14Where are you?
00:34:15Of what?
00:34:17I asked him what you need...
00:34:18Is he left over this?
00:34:19I don't know.
00:34:21He always said he's lying about his foot.
00:34:24He's lying about it.
00:34:27He's lying about it.
00:34:29So, inside he's lying about it.
00:34:31So, what?
00:34:33We're on edge.
00:34:35I wonder if she's lying about it.
00:34:36He was lying about it.

00:38:01my best, but I'm not Wilf.
00:38:07Your father claims to compete in your mother's memory,
00:38:09but you don't think so?
00:38:11He competes to prove he's the man.
00:38:14Gotta see off the rivals.
00:38:16Like Teddy Mulcahy?
00:38:18A rival in every sense.
00:38:20Meaning?
00:38:21The whole village knew Teddy carried a torch for Mum.
00:38:25I don't think there was anything in it,
00:38:27but after she'd passed, beating him mattered more than ever.
00:38:30More than being there for his son.
00:38:36I guess.
00:38:47There was no sign of a break-in.
00:38:49The back door was locked, but this door was open.
00:38:51It was when Archie Pollock arrived.
00:38:53It was definitely locked when I was here earlier, I checked.
00:38:55Meaning whoever assaulted Mr. Pollock
00:38:58had a set of keys.
00:39:00Maybe the killer took them from Mr. Worrell at the bowling club.
00:39:06How was this called in?
00:39:07999.
00:39:08No name given.
00:39:09Unusual for a killer to ring 999.
00:39:11Unless whoever did this isn't our killer.
00:39:14Maybe Mr. Pollock just disturbed a burglar stealing a painting.
00:39:18Like, for example, the house clearance expert that was sniffing around the cottage earlier.
00:39:23Speculation, Winter, but 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.
00:39:33Seems 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
00:39:40not being able to referee tomorrow than 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?
00:40:05No, I can do the job, but it's got to be done by tomorrow afternoon.
00:40:17I'm tied up in the morning.
00:40:19Okay, okay.
00:40:22I'll do it as soon as I can.
00:40:24Deal.
00:40:26I need a word.
00:40:29The, um, quality pieces that you said Wilf Worrell owned,
00:40:32that 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?
00:40:39Is that what you were gawping out through the window when I saw you?
00:40:42No.
00:40:43Tell me, if your job is being familiar with objects and their valuations,
00:40:47how much is that painting worth?
00:40:49An auction?
00:40:50Who knows?
00:40:51For insurance purposes, it's got to be in the region of 10k, maybe more.
00:40:54Tempting.
00:40:55And it's just been stolen.
00:40:57And whoever stole it assaulted Archie Pollock.
00:41:00I get it.
00:41:01You think I took the painting and then 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.
00:41:08Be my guest and check.
00:41:10I'm sure you will anyway.
00:41:14Anything else?
00:41:15If not, I'd like to go home.
00:41:17There is something else, actually.
00:41:18When I asked you where you were last night, you said you were at the pub.
00:41:21I was.
00:41:22You left early.
00:41:24Where did you go?
00:41:25Home.
00:41:26I was tired.
00:41:28I was tired.
00:41:29Can I go now?
00:41:30I was tired.
00:41:31Can I go now?
00:41:33I was tired.
00:41:34I was tired.
00:41:35No.
00:41:36No.
00:41:37I was tired.
00:41:38No.
00:41:39I was tired.
00:41:41Right?
00:41:42People, my son, you balloons are safe.
00:41:43Go inside they all every day they are a man.
00:41:45完璧ly, agile.
00:41:46The game is Zwecky, man.
00:41:47Perfectly.
00:41:48Sadly, we will do the surgery itself.
00:41:49Look i'll be smelling.
00:41:50Honestly, Jamie, I love it.
00:42:15Good.
00:42:16I was practising all last night, which kept John and I awake.
00:42:20Trying to catch up with Betty on the four fours.
00:42:22I think 73's 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.
00:42:34Jamie'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.
00:42:42Are you planning a holiday, sir?
00:42:44Uh, research, actually.
00:42:47Something Jack Pollock mentioned about starting a new life.
00:42:51Several developments overnight, sir.
00:42:53Harry Peterson doesn't just do residential.
00:42:56He's a partner in a chain of healthcare centres across Europe.
00:42:59Also, he's tried to buy some woodland on the edge of the village,
00:43:02but the application doesn't say what for.
00:43:04The 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,
00:43:10and she's proving quite elusive.
00:43:12All I can find is a P.O. box in Midsomer Parva.
00:43:15Well, find out when she got the P.O. box.
00:43:17Yeah, will do, sir.
00:43:18Also, there was a message on Wilford's answer machine
00:43:21that you need to hear.
00:43:23It was left by Dale McManus two days ago.
00:43:26I'll keep this brief.
00:43:27I'm sick of it, and I've told you loads.
00:43:29Back off roof.
00:43:30You're a dead man.
00:43:31Prophetic, to say the least.
00:43:34Hmm.
00:43:43Go get him, Tiger.
00:43:44And Ollie, if you don't win, it's okay.
00:43:47Right?
00:43:55Good to see you.
00:43:56Good to see you.
00:43:57Good to see you.
00:43:58I heard about the assault.
00:44:08Are you okay?
00:44:09Perfectly fine.
00:44:11Thanks to you.
00:44:20Enjoyed last night?
00:44:21Me too.
00:44:23Mum's tired of hiding.
00:44:26Not that gun.
00:44:28I had a fault this morning.
00:44:31We'll just go somewhere else.
00:44:32Start fresh.
00:44:35I'm serious.
00:44:36Are you playing games with me?
00:44:38No.
00:44:41After this, I've got a job to do.
00:44:42Then I'm free.
00:44:46What do you say?
00:44:47What are we waiting for?
00:44:48Oi!
00:44:49Dale!
00:44:50Chop, chop!
00:44:51You need to get your eye in.
00:44:52Come on.
00:44:53Archie, mate.
00:44:54How's the head?
00:44:55All right?
00:44:57I've got my money on you.
00:44:59Check with Jack Pollock about the rest of the pictures he took.
00:45:02The ones he didn't send us.
00:45:04Yeah, will do, sir.
00:45:11Everything all right?
00:45:12Oh, just worried about Archie, that's all.
00:45:14Tell me, how far do you think he'd go to win today?
00:45:18Oh, as far as needs be.
00:45:21That's what worries me.
00:45:23The medication you prescribed for Mr. Worrell, you mentioned statins and beta blockers.
00:45:29Yeah, that's right.
00:45:31If someone else took them, would they, for example, help with an arm tremor?
00:45:35Hmm.
00:45:37Then they might, although taking someone else's medication is dangerous.
00:45:43And illegal.
00:45:50Their score, refereeing duties to turn to.
00:45:52Yeah, I'll break a leg.
00:45:53Actually, Jenny.
00:46:01Nothing.
00:46:06Ah, Mr. Pollock.
00:46:08All those files that you sent us, some of them are missing.
00:46:11Were they?
00:46:12Well, I might have deleted some.
00:46:13Sure, but we'd still like to retrieve them if we can.
00:46:15Okay, can I get them to you later?
00:46:17We can do it now.
00:46:18Just, um, airdrop them to me.
00:46:22Yeah, I'm not sure I know how to do that.
00:46:24Back of shape.
00:46:35Have you taken Wilf's meds?
00:46:45Apart from being incredibly irresponsible, you do know that's essentially dumping.
00:46:49Should 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 Wilf told me all about you and Dale.
00:46:59Right, Dale.
00:47:22Heads.
00:47:24All these orbitals, you get to choose ends.
00:47:30We'll do east-west, please.
00:47:32Better lie the land.
00:47:33It'll take more than that.
00:47:35Archie, your Bulls Whisperers gets to choose who stars.
00:47:39They can.
00:47:40Right, let's get ready.
00:47:53Stop it fast.
00:47:54I got it fast.
00:48:11Got it fast.
00:48:15Hoo-hoo!
00:48:17You got it, Owen?
00:48:22Oh, man, that's perfect.
00:48:52You were right to check the photos, by the way.
00:48:59The ones that Jack Pollock didn't manage to send us
00:49:01all have one striking thing in common.
00:49:04They all show Archie Pollock arguing with Will Forrell.
00:49:10Yeah.
00:49:11The question 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.
00:49:22We're on the deciding end.
00:50:22That looks good.
00:50:34Over to you, Jenny.
00:50:58And the winner is...
00:51:14Olly, the winner.
00:51:15Yes!
00:51:16Yes!
00:51:17Yes!
00:51:18Yes!
00:51:19Absolutely.
00:51:20Absolutely.
00:51:21Ice polls.
00:51:23Oh, my.
00:51:24Just it.
00:51:27Here he comes.
00:51:38What was I meant to do?
00:51:40Look, you did the right thing.
00:51:41You are no daughter-in-law of mine!
00:51:47Don't know why you married her.
00:51:49You speak to Archie Pollock.
00:51:50I'll talk to Dale McMillis.
00:51:51I will do.
00:51:52Will they?
00:51:53I'll do.
00:51:54I'll do.
00:51:55I'll do.
00:51:56I'll do.
00:51:57I'll do.
00:51:58I'll do.
00:52:00I'll do.
00:52:01You ready?
00:52:02Oh, yes.
00:52:03Let's do this.
00:52:04Lovely.
00:52:05Where is Mr. Pollock, senior?
00:52:07He stormed off.
00:52:08Not out front, he didn't.
00:52:22There was a back exit. I think he wanted to avoid people.
00:52:52There was a back exit.
00:53:22Let's go.
00:53:52Harry Peterson found the body,
00:54:04called it in, and then went home.
00:54:06Did he now?
00:54:07You'll need a word.
00:54:13I'm guessing you're familiar with the identity of the Brooklyn.
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...
00:54:30Preliminary indications suggest cause of death
00:54:33was a combination of blunt trauma to the head
00:54:36and compression of the chest area,
00:54:38leading to new mirth orax.
00:54:41Not pleasant.
00:54:45Noticed anything missing?
00:54:47It's Van.
00:54:48Perhaps the killer took it.
00:54:50I'll put a marker on its circulator trace.
00:54:52What we do have, though, about 30 metres over there
00:54:55is a large collection of white goods.
00:54:57A fridge freezer, washing machine, the whole lot.
00:54:59fly-tipping.
00:55:00Mm-hmm.
00:55:09Mr. Peterson.
00:55:12It was you who found Dale McManus's body.
00:55:14Is that right?
00:55:15Yes, that's right.
00:55:16It was just passing, were you?
00:55:17So soon after your son's finest hour at the bowling club?
00:55:20Seems a bit strange.
00:55:21I'm interested in buying that plot of woodland.
00:55:24I go there sometimes to think over my potential investment.
00:55:27And you just happened across Mr. McManus's body?
00:55:30That's correct, yes.
00:55:32Mr. Peterson, we can confiscate your phone and your computer
00:55:35and find out the real reason you went there.
00:55:38Or you could save us some time and just tell us the truth.
00:55:45I was due to meet Jenny Pollock.
00:55:49I'm thinking of building a yoga centre there that she might run.
00:55:52That's very generous of you.
00:55:54Well, not at all.
00:55:55I'm a businessman.
00:55:56She's very good at what she does.
00:55:57It would be a sound investment.
00:56:00I 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.
00:56:08And when I arrived, he was just lying there.
00:56:13So if you went to meet Mrs. Pollock, why wasn't she there?
00:56:16I don't know.
00:56:18She texted me to meet her there straight after the final.
00:56:21I didn't send a text to Hardy.
00:56:23Mr. Peterson definitely received one. We saw it.
00:56:26No text, but you could have deleted it.
00:56:35I didn't.
00:56:36Then someone else must have.
00:56:37Who else would have had access to your phone?
00:56:40Presumably you have a passcode.
00:56:42One, two, three, four.
00:56:44It's guessable.
00:56:45But anyway, I always have my phone on me.
00:56:47The text was sent at 11.24, which is around the time the bowling final was due to start.
00:56:53Did you have your phone on you then?
00:56:55Actually, no.
00:56:57It was in my bag which I left in the outhouse.
00:57:00So it could have been accessed there by anyone at the bowling match?
00:57:04Yeah, I suppose.
00:57:06This 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.
00:57:14Really.
00:57:16Harry's thinking of buying some land and setting up a yoga centre.
00:57:20He has some experience in that area.
00:57:22Healthcare centres across Europe, etc.
00:57:24Exactly.
00:57:25What's that got to do with you?
00:57:27He asked me if I wanted to run it.
00:57:29What? And you didn't tell me because...
00:57:31Because there's nothing to tell.
00:57:33Look, I'm not going to do it.
00:57:35I don't want to get into business with Harry.
00:57:37It's a non-starter.
00:57:38Mr. Pollock, the photographs that you didn't send us to begin with showed your father and Mr. Worrell arguing.
00:57:49Do you know what about?
00:57:51No, I don't.
00:57:52Was not sending us the photos just an oversight or did you think they might implicate your father?
00:58:01I was trying to protect him.
00:58:03Because you think he might have killed Mr. Worrell?
00:58:05No, of course not.
00:58:06I just... I was worried, I guess.
00:58:08I knew it didn't look good.
00:58:12I know what they were arguing about.
00:58:15Archie told me about it last night as part of trying to get me to cheat on his behalf.
00:58:21He asked Wilf if he could have some of his meds to Cammy's arm.
00:58:25Wilf said no.
00:58:26So, Mr. Pollock stole them after Mr. Worrell was killed.
00:58:31Where is your father now?
00:58:33He refuses to be under the seam roof as me.
00:58:35He's out walking.
00:58:37He'll be back soon.
00:58:38He'll calm down.
00:58:44Archie Pollock isn't going to calm down any time soon.
00:58:47Winning the bulls meant too much to him.
00:58:49Something to do with unresolved grief about the death of his wife.
00:58:52What do you make of Mr. and Mrs. Pollock?
00:58:55I'm not sure.
00:58:56If it's just about a yoga centre,
00:58:57I don't see why Mrs. Pollock didn't just tell her husband.
00:59:00Well, maybe she knew he'd be suspicious.
00:59:02I mean, she could be lying to cover her tracks.
00:59:04What about Harry Peterson?
00:59:06Well, we can't rule him out.
00:59:07He wouldn't be the first murderer to pretend to have found the body.
00:59:10We can't rule out Archie Pollock either.
00:59:12Keep digging on the Pollock family.
00:59:14It finances, background, everything.
00:59:16Yeah, will do.
00:59:17Do you know what Dale was planning on doing after the final?
00:59:20Um, he said he had a job to do, that's all.
00:59:23We needed to talk to him about a message he left on Mr. Worrell's answer machine.
00:59:28You were mentioned in that message.
00:59:29We need to know what it was about.
00:59:34What is it, Mum?
00:59:35Dale and I were seeing each other.
00:59:38What?
00:59:39What?
00:59:41So that's where you were two nights ago?
00:59:44The night Mr. Worrell was killed?
00:59:46Yes, me and Dale met up.
00:59:48That would explain why you left the pub early.
00:59:51Why not just say?
00:59:54You could have told me.
00:59:56No, I couldn't.
00:59:58I didn't want it to be public knowledge.
01:00:00Why was that?
01:00:02Chloe's dad ran off with a younger woman.
01:00:04And I was very publicly humiliated and devastated.
01:00:10And even more publicly, a vocal opponent to inappropriately aged relationships.
01:00:18Dale was hardly a babe in arms.
01:00:20He 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.
01:00:31So I wasn't comfortable going public until I was completely sure about Dale.
01:00:37And were you?
01:00:40Yes.
01:00:42I was now.
01:00:44But when Mr. Worrell found out about you two, he threatened to blap.
01:00:48Oh, and some.
01:00:50Wilf was old school.
01:00:52Disapproved.
01:00:53Loved having something over us.
01:00:55Famous for it.
01:00:56Radio Wilf, we called him.
01:00:58And no secret was safe.
01:01:00He loved seeing my discomfort reveled in it.
01:01:03He said the only thing he enjoyed more than dealing antiques was dealing in secrets.
01:01:07And 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.
01:01:21His wording was quite severe.
01:01:24That was just Dale being protective.
01:01:27He went in a bit heavy.
01:01:29He didn'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.
01:01:39Why? Who else is?
01:01:41Well, Harry and Jenny for starters.
01:01:45Saw them having a lovers tiff out in the woods.
01:01:47They say that they were discussing a joint business venture.
01:01:51Believe me, what I saw was no business talk.
01:01:54I'm surprised. I thought she'd seen him off.
01:01:57Seen him off? In what way?
01:01:59Well, when Harry moved in, he made no secret of the fact that he was attracted to Jenny.
01:02:04It was the talk of the village.
01:02:05Like Jack's mum and Teddy Mulcahy all over again.
01:02:08Jenny fobbed him off. At least we thought she did.
01:02:12Something Mr. Peterson said, money can't buy happiness.
01:02:17Maybe he was talking about Jenny.
01:02:20How did Jack Pollock handle all this?
01:02:22Jack's Jack. He just lets these things roll over him.
01:02:26Sir.
01:02:27News on our own.
01:02:28Anonymous second bidder, Holly Appleby.
01:02:29Sir.
01:02:30News on our anonymous second bidder, Holly Appleby.
01:02:31Sir.
01:02:32News on our anonymous second bidder, Holly Appleby.
01:02:33She started the P.O. box four years ago.
01:02:35Mm.
01:02:36There's a lot of fools in here.
01:02:37It's okay.
01:02:38It's okay.
01:02:39No.
01:02:40It's okay.
01:02:42But in there's, it's okay.
01:02:43No.
01:02:44No.
01:02:45No.
01:02:46No.
01:02:47No.
01:02:48No.
01:02:49No.
01:02:50It's okay.
01:02:52No.
01:02:53No.
01:02:54No.
01:02:55No.
01:02:56No.
01:02:57No.
01:02:58No.
01:02:59No.
01:03:00No.
01:03:01No.
01:03:02No.
01:03:03ether at the moment the 4-4 challenge four years holly appleby has had her p.o box and it's four
01:03:09years since libby trevor moved to the area before that holly appleby lived in aspen tallow she went
01:03:15through a messy divorce ended up in the courts but why open a p.o box to protect her anonymity
01:03:22when she moved on perhaps interestingly libby trevor said she moved here on her own thinking
01:03:29that maybe holly appleby changed her name to libby trevor possibly but why would an assistant grounds
01:03:34woman put in a bid to buy the bowling club because she loves her job well you say that
01:03:40but if that's the case what are all these bowling balls still doing out here why wouldn't libby
01:03:44trevor put them away after the final unless she left in a hurry
01:04:06busy oh uh what no um no i was just sorting mind if we take a look in the greenhouse
01:04:14um vanilla
01:04:26that's not earth on your hands is it it's vanilla scented coffee
01:04:31and this is the real midsummer mocha time to come clean holly
01:04:39it is holly isn't it
01:04:44it is holly
01:05:03hello dale is that you
01:05:14Cheers, mate. Thank you.
01:05:36Hey, which one do you want to try this time?
01:05:39Something authentic would be good.
01:05:41Okay. What can I hit you with?
01:05:42Uh, Colombian? Guatemalan?
01:05:46Well, actually, you can hit me with the truth
01:05:48and fill me in about Dale McManus blackmailing you.
01:05:52Or I can introduce you to the Causton CID coffee machine,
01:05:55which is about as authentic as you are.
01:06:05My marriage was abusive.
01:06:08But I finally got out of it, and I started over in Midsomer, Deverell.
01:06:16Changing your name and trying to make sure your ex couldn't track you down.
01:06:20Libby started out as Liberty,
01:06:26a sign of my new freedom.
01:06:27All I wanted to do was belong,
01:06:32and I thought that the bowling club would do that.
01:06:37But Mr. Worrell made it difficult.
01:06:39Wolf was a bully.
01:06:40Which wasn't good for me, because it reminded me of...
01:06:46Of what I had fought so hard to escape from.
01:06:55Earlier, you were very complimentary about Mr. Worrell.
01:06:58You said he was like a mentor to you.
01:07:00Why lie?
01:07:01I'm sorry, I guess I didn't want to speak ill of the dead.
01:07:09I didn't want to have to admit all this.
01:07:13How did you become involved with Midsomer Mocha?
01:07:16I liked Lucas's dream.
01:07:20And I was trying to figure out how to do something positive
01:07:24with a property that I owned in Aspen Tallow.
01:07:28So I thought that if I sold it,
01:07:30I could use the proceeds as collateral.
01:07:33To join forces and help to buy the bowling club.
01:07:37That was the theory.
01:07:40But in practice, it's proving kind of different.
01:07:46That's the thing with dreams.
01:07:48They don't always come true.
01:07:50With Libby's backing,
01:07:54the plan is to turn the bowling club into a coffee emporium.
01:07:57With an outside space for coffee events and music gigs.
01:08:01Emporium.
01:08:02We've hardly won over the hearts and minds so far.
01:08:04We just need time.
01:08:07You can make the best coffee in the world,
01:08:09source the best growers,
01:08:10use the finest beans.
01:08:12But if you don't have anyone to drink it.
01:08:15We've seen your setup in Libby's greenhouse.
01:08:17Everything here is fake.
01:08:21We just needed to reduce costs in order to survive.
01:08:25Until things take off.
01:08:26By importing the cheapest beans that you can find.
01:08:30Probably not ethically sourced.
01:08:31And roasting them yourself.
01:08:32It's not going to be forever.
01:08:35And you assume that no one will find out.
01:08:38But Dale McManus did.
01:08:40Have accessed his emails.
01:08:42He found out what you and Libby are up to
01:08:44and he's been trying to extort money from you.
01:08:46Money I haven't got.
01:08:48You might if you broke into Wilf Worrell's house
01:08:50and stole a painting.
01:08:53Did Wilf
01:08:53find out your little secret too?
01:08:56What?
01:08:57No.
01:08:58Look, I didn't like Wilf.
01:09:00Wilf didn't like me.
01:09:01But I didn't steal any painting.
01:09:03What do you think I am?
01:09:05A fraud.
01:09:07Someone desperate to keep their dream alive.
01:09:11Dale McManus was found dead earlier today.
01:09:14I swear I don't know anything about that.
01:09:25Lucas Shaw?
01:09:26Mm.
01:09:27He's admitted fraud.
01:09:28But he's adamant that he didn't kill anyone.
01:09:30And I think he's telling the truth.
01:09:32He's misguided.
01:09:33But he isn't a killer.
01:09:34What about Libby Trevor?
01:09:35I don't think she's killed anyone either.
01:09:37So 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?
01:09:48Well, we know that Harry Peterson received a text message from someone wanting to meet
01:09:55him in the woods, but 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
01:10:07the wrong time?
01:10:07Harry Peterson was the real talk.
01:10:10Indeed.
01:10:12Well, how are we doing with the Pollock family background?
01:10:15Financials are interesting.
01:10:17Accounts are all in order.
01:10:19But 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.
01:10:29Interestingly, though, he did the accounts of Teddy Mulcahy.
01:10:33His father's nemesis.
01:10:36And presumably historic accounts, given that Mr. Mulcahy's been dead for years.
01:10:40I guess.
01:10:42I'll check.
01:10:45Mr. Pollock, how can I help?
01:10:51We're on our way.
01:10:55But Jack Pollock, he says his father's been kidnapped.
01:11:05Any further word?
01:11:08Anonymous email demanding a quarter of a million pounds as a ransom.
01:11:11We'll try and trace the sender.
01:11:13Four hours to find that money.
01:11:15How am I going to do that?
01:11:16You'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.
01:11:22It'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.
01:11:27Can we borrow against the house?
01:11:28I've already spoken to the bank.
01:11:29There isn't the time.
01:11:30You 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 Hardy?
01:11:36I could ask him.
01:11:37We could ask him.
01:11:39Thanks.
01:11:40Uniform have triangulated the signal and found your father's phone.
01:11:43It's roadside on a country lane.
01:11:45You head over there.
01:11:45Yeah, in the meantime, please don't do anything without talking to us.
01:11:58I doubt there's much in the way of road cameras here.
01:12:01There might be one at the junction where the road meets the village.
01:12:04I'll get tech onto it urgently.
01:12:06One 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.
01:12:24Already done it.
01:12:25We'll do a GC-MS test in the lab to make sure,
01:12:28but I did the old PTT, pipette tongue taste.
01:12:35My guess would be powdered instant.
01:12:38I can't just sit here and do nothing.
01:12:56Dad's out there somewhere.
01:13:01It's all my fault.
01:13:02Look, I don't like the idea,
01:13:07but I think we have to do what you suggested.
01:13:10Ask Harry.
01:13:12What about the police?
01:13:14What about them?
01:13:24Harry.
01:13:26It's me.
01:13:26What's the connection between the murders and the kidnapper?
01:13:36Money.
01:13:37Someone is desperate for it.
01:13:40They stole a valuable painting from Mr. Worrell,
01:13:42and now they want a quarter of a million pounds
01:13:44for the return of Archie Pollock.
01:13:46Why?
01:13:47Greed?
01:13:48Debt, more like.
01:13:49I think someone got into trouble
01:13:51and made the mistake of asking Mr. Worrell,
01:13:53who you said had money,
01:13:54to borrow some.
01:13:55Well, Mr. Worrell said no,
01:13:57because he's an old curmudgeon.
01:13:58Who likes nothing better
01:14:00than dealing in other people's secrets.
01:14:02He threatens to tell the world,
01:14:04and so needs to be silenced.
01:14:07You know, what's really bugging me about these photos
01:14:10is that they're not shots of Jenny Pollock
01:14:14with Archie and Wilf in the background.
01:14:17The two men are the main subject of the pictures.
01:14:20You know that Jack Pollock was curious about the argument,
01:14:23which was just about meds.
01:14:24He said he didn't know what it was about,
01:14:27but maybe he thought they were arguing about something else.
01:14:29Hmm.
01:14:30Well, we checked out Teddy Mulcahy's accounts,
01:14:33and interestingly, so is the taxman.
01:14:36Heavily in debt and still active,
01:14:38we're pending imminent investigation.
01:14:40So the financial clock is ticking and the net closing in?
01:14:44Who would know how to keep a dead man's accounts alive?
01:14:47Jack Pollock would.
01:14:52He hasn't kidnapped his own father, has he?
01:14:56Winter.
01:14:59Ah.
01:15:00Okay.
01:15:01Yeah, thanks.
01:15:02Patrol have sighted Dale McManus's van
01:15:05in a field next to the woods.
01:15:07Let's go.
01:15:08What are you doing here?
01:15:19I could ask you the same question.
01:15:21I asked you not to do anything without talking to us.
01:15:23You don't understand.
01:15:24They said to come alone.
01:15:27To, uh,
01:15:28to use Harry's phone to transfer the money.
01:15:30Then and only then would Dad be released.
01:15:32We need to do what they say.
01:15:34Transfer the money.
01:15:35Don't.
01:15:37Look, quick, quick!
01:15:38The time's running out!
01:15:40It is indeed, Mr. Pollock.
01:15:42There are no kidnappers
01:15:44because there was no kidnapping, was there?
01:15:47Someone tell me what the hell is going on.
01:15:49Mr. Pollock has faked his father's kidnapping.
01:15:52Jenny, what...
01:15:53What's going on?
01:15:55What are you doing here?
01:15:55I need to know what's happening.
01:15:57Mr. Pollock here,
01:15:58one failed Turks and Caicos investment behind him,
01:16:02needed to do something.
01:16:03Prove himself to his father
01:16:05and provide for his wife.
01:16:07Was...
01:16:08Mr. Peterson's arrival in the village the trigger,
01:16:11the dashing international businessman?
01:16:13You couldn't compete?
01:16:15Well, you tried to,
01:16:16by making investments under a false name.
01:16:18Your father's nemesis,
01:16:19Teddy Mulcahy.
01:16:20Was that some kind of private joke
01:16:22to get at your father?
01:16:23Why?
01:16:23Because he wasn't there for me.
01:16:29He was never there.
01:16:32After Mum died,
01:16:33he was too obsessed with his stupid bowling!
01:16:36So when your fake investments went wrong
01:16:39with the tax man looming,
01:16:42you asked Wilf Worrell to bail you out.
01:16:45What a mistake that was.
01:16:47He said no and started lording it over me.
01:16:49Which explains the photos.
01:16:51You were never worried
01:16:52how those photos looked for your father.
01:16:54I saw Wilf having words with Dad.
01:16:57I thought he was telling him about me.
01:16:58And I needed to know for sure.
01:17:00So I went back,
01:17:01but he wasn't,
01:17:02but that just made things worse.
01:17:04So you needed to silence him.
01:17:05And knowing where Mr. Worrell kept the keys,
01:17:07you went to the outhouse.
01:17:10You killed him
01:17:11and then tried to point the finger
01:17:13at your nemesis,
01:17:15Harry.
01:17:16You thought H.A. might be enough.
01:17:18I wasn't thinking straight.
01:17:19I needed money fast.
01:17:21So you stole a painting,
01:17:23accidentally assaulting your father
01:17:24in the process.
01:17:25And then you decide
01:17:26to target Harry direct.
01:17:28You used Jenny's phone
01:17:30to lure him to the woods,
01:17:31only that doesn't work either.
01:17:34Harry's delayed
01:17:35and you kill an innocent man.
01:17:38I didn't mean to kill Dale.
01:17:39He was the wrong man
01:17:41in the wrong place.
01:17:42You're panicked.
01:17:44You're lost.
01:17:45And then it hits you.
01:17:48The solution to everything.
01:17:50Pretend to kidnap your father,
01:17:52demand a ransom
01:17:53that will clear your debts
01:17:54once and for all.
01:17:55Knowing that your wife
01:17:56would turn to Harry
01:17:57to pay for it
01:17:58before he's killed by kidnappers.
01:18:01Otherwise known as you.
01:18:04Jack?
01:18:05It should have been him.
01:18:08Stay back.
01:18:09Or else, help me God.
01:18:11I'll kill him.
01:18:12Put the knife down, Jack.
01:18:14It won't help.
01:18:15I was so close.
01:18:16To sailing off into the sunset?
01:18:18Just...
01:18:19I wanted us to be happy.
01:18:23I wanted us to be together.
01:18:26I am.
01:18:27We are.
01:18:29No, no.
01:18:30You're having an affair.
01:18:31I'm not.
01:18:33I've seen all your messages.
01:18:35I've seen your...
01:18:36Your secret meetings.
01:18:38The fear of being caught.
01:18:40Because I didn't want you
01:18:41to think this.
01:18:43Right.
01:18:45You'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.
01:18:51Because I can't compete with him.
01:18:55Look at me.
01:18:57Look at me
01:18:57and tell me
01:18:58you weren't tempted.
01:19:01Okay, I was.
01:19:03But I didn't give in to it.
01:19:06I stayed true.
01:19:09Because I love you.
01:19:16It's true.
01:19:17She loves you,
01:19:18not me.
01:19:19What have you done, Jack?
01:19:21Your wife doesn't cheat.
01:19:24You just believed the gossip.
01:19:26I...
01:19:26I was a laughingstock.
01:19:28You're not.
01:19:30Nothing happened.
01:19:33I wanted it to,
01:19:35but Jenny refused.
01:19:37Even when I just wanted
01:19:38to invest in her
01:19:39with a yoga center,
01:19:40she refused that too.
01:19:41She thought it would be inappropriate.
01:19:45You had the dream already.
01:19:48You were living it.
01:19:51Oh, God.
01:19:59Oh, God.
01:19:59Oh, God.
01:20:21I'm sorry, Dad.
01:20:30So am I.
01:20:37Oh, come on, Eddie.
01:20:38Everybody wants to see the trophy.
01:20:39I give you
01:20:40the 4x4 Maths Challenge Champion.
01:20:43And it was all her own work.
01:20:47It was, actually.
01:20:48We were rubbish.
01:20:49I gather we have a new challenge.
01:20:51Yeah, we do indeed.
01:20:52Yeah, we do indeed.
01:20:52A bowling match.
01:20:53These were my grandfather's
01:20:55pride and joy.
01:20:58Oh, and we also have to honor
01:20:59Harry Peterson's successful bid
01:21:01to buy the Midsummer
01:21:02Deverell Bowling Club.
01:21:02He plans to modernize it
01:21:04and keep it as a bowling club
01:21:05for his son to play at.
01:21:07Very good.
01:21:08They, uh,
01:21:09have names for their teams,
01:21:10didn't they?
01:21:11They did.
01:21:12There's Archie's
01:21:13Bowls Whisperers
01:21:14and Ollie's Orbitals
01:21:15and I've been giving
01:21:17some thought to, uh,
01:21:18a name for us
01:21:19and in every sense
01:21:20you can't beat
01:21:21Barnaby's Bowling Bevies.
01:21:23You're comparing me to a drink?
01:21:25It's something else
01:21:26I'm very fond of.
01:21:27I thought of, uh,
01:21:29Fleur Power
01:21:30or
01:21:31the Flying Fleurs.
01:21:33But I'll leave it to Jamie.
01:21:36Winter Milan.
01:21:37Oh,
01:21:39thank you.
01:21:44I think we did it.
01:22:11Oh,
01:22:19well,
01:22:19I think the clear winner
01:22:22is...
01:22:23Hang on,
01:22:27that's cheating.
01:22:29Of course it's not.
01:22:30It's a bowl, isn't it?
01:22:31Oh,
