00:00:38Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Archie.
00:00:40Need I remind you, Miss Gillen, this is a no-smoking club.
00:00:44Apologies for my daughter, Wilf.
00:00:46She gets the attitude from her father.
00:00:48That's why I divorced him.
00:00:50That and the fact you ran off with your hairdresser.
00:00:52Which was devastating.
00:00:54Best hairdresser I ever had, excuse me.
00:00:56That's good. Yeah, that's great.
00:00:58And then the players in the back, maybe with the...
00:01:00Come on. Come on a bit this way.
00:01:02Okay. Oh, it's okay. Just, yeah, that's nice.
00:01:04Is that okay? Yeah, that's great.
00:01:06It's great. Just smile a bit.
00:01:08Love. Do that.
00:01:10Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:01:12I'm so sorry.
00:01:14Oh, it's okay. Just, yeah, that's nice.
00:01:16Is that okay?
00:01:18Yeah, that's great. It's great. Just smile a bit.
00:01:20Love. Do that.
00:01:22Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
00:01:32Are you going through? Yeah.
00:01:34Excuse me, Archie. Sorry. Sorry.
00:01:36All right, Jenny, just relax.
00:01:38Oh, okay. Just for the club website.
00:01:40Okay, all right. Let's just get it over with.
00:01:42Yeah, all right. That is great.
00:01:44You can polish your balls all you like, Dale,
00:01:46but we all know you're a marbles man underneath.
00:01:48Oh, gee, mate.
00:01:50Show these amateurs how it's done.
00:01:52My pleasure.
00:02:02Oh.
00:02:04Tension getting to you, isn't it?
00:02:06Never.
00:02:12Come on, my beauty.
00:02:16Nice one. Monster at work.
00:02:18Actually, I think mine's nearest.
00:02:20How old are you, Wilf?
00:02:22Black ball closer.
00:02:36Archie's team wins. What?
00:02:38No way. Are you joking? Fix.
00:02:40They never lie.
00:02:42Chloe, you know the membership rules as well as the rest of us.
00:02:44Referee's decision is final.
00:02:46Yeah, but my ball is closer.
00:02:48Oh, he's right. Just a bunch of cheats.
00:02:50I'm sick of this farce.
00:02:52Are you going to let him get away with this, Ruth?
00:02:53Uh, leave it out, mate.
00:02:54Oh, ban him, Ruth. Ban him.
00:02:55Okay, let's just calm it.
00:02:57It's only a knockabout.
00:02:59Save your energy for the championship finals, okay?
00:03:02You.
00:03:03I want a word.
00:03:04You.
00:03:05I want a word.
00:03:06All right, champ.
00:03:07A bunch of losers, that one.
00:03:10All right, champ.
00:03:29Bunch of losers that long.
00:03:33Lovely evening for it.
00:03:40All right, let's go.
00:04:10Let's go.
00:04:40Let's go.

00:06:18Let's go.
00:06:19Let's go.
00:06:204 factorial.
00:06:2124.
00:06:22Minus 4.
00:06:23Minus 4 over 4.
00:06:2419.
00:06:25She knows.
00:06:26Betty's actually up to 53.
00:06:27But John's more likely to let her stay up late tonight if he feels like he's out.
00:06:32That's top maths, that, sir.
00:06:34Well done.
00:06:35Well, thank you.
00:06:36And, um, I'm actually more of a Shakespeare man, really.
00:06:39Let's go.
00:07:02Victim is Wilfred Wilf Worrell, 80, widower, retired, antiques dealer, and grounds...
00:07:09I never really understood the fascination with bowls.
00:07:11Really, I love a bit of bowling.
00:07:13I just play with my granddad all the time.
00:07:15You know, it dates back to the 13th century.
00:07:17It's surprisingly skilled.
00:07:18It's all in the wrist action.
00:07:22Right.
00:07:36Great.
00:07:37More numbers.
00:07:39Morning, Fleur.
00:07:40Morning.
00:07:43Quite a mouthful.
00:07:44Was that to silence him?
00:07:46Whatever it was for, it wasn't the cause of death.
00:07:49That's PBI.
00:07:51Penetrating brain injury to you.
00:07:54Caused by these.
00:07:56Measuring calipers.
00:07:58Thrust into the nasal cavity with considerable force.
00:08:01Indications of cranial penetration and associated cerebral trauma, triggering intracranial hemorrhage.
00:08:10Victim could have had them on him, or they might have been taken from the outhouse over there.
00:08:16Time of death?
00:08:17Judging from the lividity of the bruising around the nostrils, I'd say we're talking early evening.
00:08:28What about these markers?
00:08:29Looks like the victim placed them there himself.
00:08:31A score?
00:08:32As in a score to settle, sir?
00:08:34One thing at a time, Winter.
00:08:36Mobile phone?
00:08:37No sign of one.
00:08:38Or any other personal effect.
00:08:41Who found him?
00:08:42Ah.
00:08:43That would be the Dawn Chorus Yoga Club.
00:08:47Yes.
00:08:48Yoga teacher Jenny Pollock, along with mother and daughter Ruth and Chloe Gillan.
00:08:55Mum Ruth is a GP and the bowling club president.
00:08:59I've met her at many a medical get-to-go.
00:09:12Ruth Gillan?
00:09:13Was, uh, Wilf Worrell a mainstay of the club?
00:09:19Mm, he was indeed.
00:09:21Too much so, really.
00:09:22In what way?
00:09:23Oh, Wilf should have retired years ago.
00:09:26I mean, he wasn't a well man.
00:09:28Thyroid issues mainly.
00:09:30When I finally got him to agree to a course of statins and beta blockers,
00:09:34he'd also reluctantly accepted that he needed some help here.
00:09:37And who might that be?
00:09:39Libby.
00:09:40Libby Trevor, local horticulturalist, amazing at what she does
00:09:44and the patience of a saint with Wilf.
00:09:49Do you need to get that?
00:09:50No, it's just the surgery, chasing.
00:09:57Did anyone not have patience with Wilf?
00:09:59Well, he wasn't the easiest person, to be fair.
00:10:02Things got a bit heated yesterday.
00:10:05Ollie Peterson wasn't happy with Wilf's refereeing.
00:10:08Because?
00:10:09Well, he thought he'd won.
00:10:10Wilf's measurements indicated otherwise.
00:10:13Measurements made with callipers, by any chance?
00:10:15Yes.
00:10:16Lucas really kicked off.
00:10:18Accusing us all of cheating.
00:10:20Lucas who?
00:10:21Shaw.
00:10:22Runs Midsummer Mocha, a brand new trendy coffee place.
00:10:26Not everyone's cup of tea.
00:10:27Not everyone's cup of tea.
00:10:29Or coffee.
00:10:30And did Mr. Worrell cheat?
00:10:33Well, possibly, but Lucas overreacted.
00:10:36He's intense and a bit pushy.
00:10:40Maybe it's all that caffeine.
00:10:43And most of us are open to new ideas.
00:10:45But Wilf, however, wasn't.
00:10:47So when Lucas got a youngster's bowling team together,
00:10:52Wilf resisted their entrance to the club and tried to get them thrown out.
00:10:55For what?
00:10:56Oh, anything.
00:10:57Um, breaking dress regulation codes, um, match etiquette rules, breathing, you name it.
00:11:07Why is the bowling club up for sale?
00:11:09Well, our finances are perilous.
00:11:12Membership's fallen off the edge of a cliff.
00:11:15Mainly because, well, people insist on dying.
00:11:19Quiet.
00:11:21Archie Pollock's on a roll.
00:11:23Championship winning captain for the last 12 years.
00:11:27I see he also won in 1926.
00:11:29Oh, his grandfather.
00:11:31He comes from a long line of Archies.
00:11:33A load of Pollocks, some might say.
00:11:36Only ever threatened by Captain Curve himself, Teddy Mulcahy,
00:11:43who's no longer with us, but their rivalry was legendary.
00:11:46Best not mention him in front of Archie.
00:11:48I'll try not to.
00:11:51Jenny Pollock, Chloe Gillan, DS Winter.
00:11:54Guilty as charged.
00:11:56And, er, you are?
00:11:59Er, Libby Trevor, groundswoman.
00:12:02Sorry, erm, excuse me.
00:12:06Sorry.
00:12:11Can you tell me what you were doing here this morning?
00:12:14I run a sunrise yoga class here twice a week.
00:12:18And my mum approved it.
00:12:19She was keen to bring in some extra revenue.
00:12:21Wilf opposed it, of course.
00:12:23Wasn't happy about us using the green.
00:12:25No, Wilf wasn't happy about anything.
00:12:27I'm tank of a soul.
00:12:28Safe to say you're not a fan, then.
00:12:30Impressive detective skills, DS Winter.
00:12:32The Bowling Green is the only place in the area we can do it.
00:12:35It's perfect, and it's gone down well with the majority of locals.
00:12:38It's because you're insanely brilliant.
00:12:40I mean, personally, I could do without seeing Dale
00:12:42and his downward dog at the crack of dawn twice a week, but...
00:12:45I mean, Jenny's done more for this community
00:12:47than pretty much anyone else.
00:12:4981.
00:12:51Does that number mean anything to you?
00:12:54Erm, someone's age, a house number, perhaps?
00:12:56No, not that I know of.
00:13:00Mr. Worrell, did he own a mobile phone?
00:13:02Oh, definitely not. Old school.
00:13:04Dinosaur, more like.
00:13:06Jenny.
00:13:07Oh.
00:13:10Are you okay?
00:13:11I just heard it's terrible.
00:13:12I know.
00:13:13Well, let's get you home.
00:13:17Has anyone shown interest in buying the club?
00:13:20Two bids so far.
00:13:21Flash Harry being one of them.
00:13:23Harry Peterson.
00:13:24Architect, property magnate and entrepreneur.
00:13:27Sporty car.
00:13:28Moved to the village a year ago with his son Ollie.
00:13:30The same Ollie who plays bowls?
00:13:32Ollie's sweet, whereas his dad has made no secret of his intention
00:13:35to expand his property empire around here.
00:13:38We figure he'll raise the club to the ground,
00:13:40build some modern monstrosity and sell it for millions.
00:13:43Apparently, Jack and Wil thought otherwise.
00:13:46They were saying yesterday that Harry's bid is dead in the water.
00:13:49Jack?
00:13:50Oh, club accountant. Archie's son.
00:13:53He was here yesterday?
00:13:54Taking photos to promote his wife's yoga studio.
00:13:57I really must make a move, if that's okay.
00:14:00Oh, by all means.
00:14:02And who is the other potential buyer?
00:14:05You mentioned two.
00:14:06We have absolutely no idea.
00:14:08An anonymous bidder.
00:14:12I think it's fair to say that Mr. Worrell wasn't the most popular person in the village.
00:14:15Indeed.
00:14:16Generational conflict, sporting rivalry, a spat with Lucas Shaw.
00:14:19Soccer on the way to Mr. Worrell's house now.
00:14:22I'll follow.
00:14:23Check his financials and get on to the council.
00:14:26I want to know who's behind this anonymous bid to buy the bowling club.
00:14:29And pay a visit to Lucas Shaw at Midsummer Mocha.
00:14:32Oh, I'd love to.
00:14:33Really into my coffee at the moment, sir.
00:14:35Become a bit of a Java junkie.
00:14:37A what?
00:14:38A roast ranger, sir.
00:14:39Bean aficionado?
00:14:41Well, keep it to yourself, Winter.
00:14:43I'll speak to Jack Pollock, see what he knows.
00:14:46Right.
00:14:47Right.
00:14:48So, where were you last night then?
00:14:51Well, never mind me.
00:14:52Where were you?
00:14:53Pub, then boringly tucked in bed with a buck.
00:14:56You, you, Dr. Dirty stop out.
00:14:59Didn't make it home, I noticed.
00:15:00Well, for your information, I went back to the surgery to a mountain of paperwork and some midnight oil.
00:15:06Ah, is that what they call it these days?
00:15:08I mean, I believe you.
00:15:10Millions wouldn't.
00:15:11What's up with you home alone, anyway?
00:15:13Well, you're not still holding out for that flash, Harry, are you?
00:15:16Of course not.
00:15:17Maybe a smidge.
00:15:19Come on, he's fine, he's charismatic, bloated.
00:15:22And I got out really well with his son.
00:15:24And, uh, Dale?
00:15:25Oh, please, Mother.
00:15:27He's a glorified man with a van.
00:15:28He's not even a contender.
00:15:30Hi, Harry.
00:15:32Hi, ladies.
00:15:35I mean, seriously.
00:15:37What's not to like?
00:15:38See you later.
00:15:49Wow.
00:15:51Who died?
00:15:52Chloe, can you not?
00:15:54Positivity, please.
00:15:56There's positivity and there's delusion.
00:15:59You've got to admit, Wilf's death, on top of already being boycotted by 90% of the locals,
00:16:04it's not a good look.
00:16:06Maybe this place isn't ready for a coffee revolution.
00:16:09We'll just have to work harder, then.
00:16:12Today, Mr. Medeverill.
00:16:14Tomorrow, the world.
00:16:17If you say so, coffee man.
00:16:20I do.
00:16:22I do say so.
00:16:24There's police crawling everywhere.
00:16:40Libby, calm down.
00:16:41Didn't you hear what I said?
00:16:43They're all over the place.
00:16:44What are we gonna do?
00:16:45I tell you what we're not gonna do.
00:16:47We're not gonna panic.
00:16:48We're gonna stay calm and carry on as planned.
00:16:52Okay?
00:17:01Tell me, does the number 81 mean anything to you?
00:17:05Relating to bowls, possibly?
00:17:07No.
00:17:08No.
00:17:09No, not at all.
00:17:10About the bids to buy the club.
00:17:12I gather you and Mr. Worrell no longer believe that Harry Peterson's bid is a goer.
00:17:18That's correct.
00:17:20I have a friend on the council who told me they'd reject any bid that wanted to build residential property on the land.
00:17:27Which is Mr. Peterson's plan?
00:17:30That's what he does for a living.
00:17:34Look, I was told in confidence, but made the mistake of telling Wilf who wanted to blab it to the world.
00:17:41Which could have ruined everything.
00:17:43Does Harry Peterson know about this?
00:17:46Might Mr. Worrell have blabbed about it to him?
00:17:49Very possibly.
00:17:51Wilf was nothing if not a stirrer.
00:17:53I'll need an address for Mr. Peterson if you have it.
00:17:57Sure.
00:17:58And would Mr. Worrell blabbing be annoying for you?
00:18:02Well, it's my own fault really.
00:18:05I should have known better than to trust him.
00:18:08Can you tell me what you did last night after the game?
00:18:11Well, I've been taking photos of Jenny for her yoga and then I dropped her home and went to the Swan.
00:18:17A few of us did.
00:18:19These photos, were they taken around the club generally?
00:18:22Yeah.
00:18:23All over, just snaps really.
00:18:25Might I see them?
00:18:26You might have captured something without knowing it.
00:18:30Sure.
00:18:31I'll send them over to you.
00:18:33Big match tomorrow.
00:18:35The match.
00:18:36Climax of the season.
00:18:38Gone right to the wire.
00:18:40Could be the last championship ever if the club goes.
00:18:44And potentially your 13th.
00:18:46Quite a record.
00:18:47Rivaled only by Teddy Mulcahy, I believe.
00:18:51Mulcahy.
00:18:52Mulcahy.
00:18:53All mouth and no trousers.
00:18:55A pretender.
00:18:56A mountebank.
00:18:57Which is why I don't plan on letting any of those youths win tomorrow.
00:19:02Versus first, second is nowhere.
00:19:04Isn't that right, Jack?
00:19:05In one, Dad.
00:19:07You'll need a strong referee, I suspect.
00:19:10We will.
00:19:11Only selfish of wealth not to be around if you ask me.
00:19:14That.
00:19:15What?
00:19:16Just saying.
00:19:17You look after the club, I'll sort the bowls.
00:19:24Everything all right, Mr. Pollock?
00:19:25Just a twinge.
00:19:26There's something wrong with you.
00:19:27No, it's fine.
00:19:44No, it's fine.
00:19:45But it'll be fine.
00:19:46I don't stand there.
00:19:47There we go.
00:19:48Same.
00:19:54Again, wait the cop looks.
00:19:55There's a single thing around him.
00:19:57Let me come back to you.
00:19:58Oh, no, I did build a sign.
00:20:00I'll give it to him later.
00:20:02�risas Dr. Pollock.
00:20:03I really like him a pen to my job.
00:20:05You guys can see that he's not prepared for the fun anymore.
00:20:07Like him let me know.
00:20:09While he can run the lights out, play between them and program correctly,
00:20:13How did you get on at Mr. Worrell's?
00:20:37Nice cottage, full of antiques, but then he was a dealer.
00:20:42Clearly a successful one.
00:20:43His financials came back, all in good shape.
00:20:46Something I suspect that house clearance expert,
00:20:49cum ambulance chaser, Dale McManus,
00:20:51might be interested in.
00:20:53Caught him snooping around.
00:20:54Check him out.
00:20:56Also, Mr. Worrell had an old school landline.
00:20:59The last person to call him at 5 o'clock yesterday
00:21:01was Flash Harry Peterson.
00:21:03Ah, just as well I'm about to meet him.
00:21:13I knocked, but, er...
00:21:19Is your dad here?
00:21:21Said he'd be back soon.
00:21:22You know, if you're a bit of a maths buff, maybe you can help me with something.
00:21:29Is there anything special about the number 81?
00:21:32Nine square, three to the power of four.
00:21:36This is all about bowling?
00:21:41It is, I'm, er...
00:21:42I don't need to protect the part of the bowling ball tech.
00:21:47Accuracy is everything.
00:21:49Unless the ref's cheating.
00:21:51I take it you're referring to Mr. Worrell?
00:21:55Why might he do that, do you think?
00:21:56Uh, pick on some breaking rules, not let us book practice greens.
00:22:02He really had it in for us.
00:22:04As a result, perhaps someone had it in for him.
00:22:10Can I help?
00:22:12Yeah.
00:22:21What the hell are those for?
00:22:32Mushroom coffee.
00:22:33It's the next big thing.
00:22:35You can't just pick wild mushrooms, experiment, and sell it as coffee.
00:22:40There are rules and regulations.
00:22:41We have to do this properly, or we'll never get investment from someone like Harry Peterson.
00:22:45Hi.
00:22:46Hey.
00:22:47D.S. Winter, Causton CID.
00:22:51Uh, what can we get you?
00:22:53How about this one?
00:22:54Uh, Parisa?
00:22:55It's a nutty bean, responsibly sourced from a cooperative in Nicaragua.
00:22:59Or perhaps you fancy a Brazilian?
00:23:04Uh, yes.
00:23:05Yes, maybe, um...
00:23:07Maybe in a minute.
00:23:08Um, how...
00:23:10How's the cafe been, um, received so far?
00:23:13Wilf despised us, and...
00:23:15Generally speaking, a destination coffee shop isn't exactly top of the village wishlist.
00:23:20Most people here are still wedded to powdered instant and a kettle.
00:23:24Same at the bowling club.
00:23:26Their website's like somewhere from the dark ages.
00:23:28Jack did the puzzles.
00:23:29Wilf did the jokes.
00:23:30Everyone a belter.
00:23:32We joined, hoping to encourage some cross-fertilisation.
00:23:35No, we're doing OK on the cross bit.
00:23:37Less on the fertilisation.
00:23:39Huh.
00:23:40How did you get into coffee?
00:23:42Huh.
00:23:43Well...
00:23:44I was a barista champion.
00:23:48Um, I worked in cafes all over the world.
00:23:51Uh, Madrid, Ecuador, Guatemala.
00:23:54Got tired of working for other people.
00:23:56And my family are from around here, so...
00:23:58This is my dream.
00:24:00I'll do anything to make it work.
00:24:04What did you do after the game last night?
00:24:06Mr. McManus said, um, something about going to the pub.
00:24:09Yeah.
00:24:10A bunch of us did.
00:24:11I'll need a list.
00:24:12And, uh...
00:24:13One of those.
00:24:15Uh, yeah.
00:24:16Yeah, sure.
00:24:19The bright kid, your son.
00:24:21Doesn't get it from me.
00:24:22Oh, really?
00:24:23I heard that you were, uh, a successful architect turned property magnate.
00:24:28I can talk the talk, but I'm no good at maths.
00:24:30Not on Ollie's league, anyway.
00:24:32You know, he's just still a teenager, but he's already been in touch with the European Space Agency
00:24:37about a mentorship scheme they run.
00:24:39Oh, impressive.
00:24:41Is it just the two of you?
00:24:42It is.
00:24:44Money can buy lots of things, but it seems happiness is not one of them.
00:24:49Ollie's mum lives abroad.
00:24:52He misses her, and, uh...
00:24:55Well, he retreated into physics, quantum mechanics, and the multiverse.
00:25:00He's become quite introverted.
00:25:01And yet he's a member of the bowling club.
00:25:04Yes.
00:25:05A godsend.
00:25:06When the coffee guys wanted to recruit a youngster,
00:25:09Chloe Gillan took a punt on Ollie, and he hasn't looked back.
00:25:12Swapped one obsession, orbital trajectories in space, for another, Lorne Bowles.
00:25:18Who knew?
00:25:19He loves it.
00:25:20But he didn't love Mr. Worrell, though.
00:25:22No.
00:25:23But, to be honest, it's good for Ollie to meet old duffers like that.
00:25:27Life isn't always fair.
00:25:29And the sooner he learns that, the better.
00:25:34Where were you last night, around six o'clock?
00:25:38I picked Ollie up from the bowling club and then came home.
00:25:41And when did you last talk to Mr. Worrell?
00:25:43Yesterday.
00:25:44On the phone.
00:25:45About?
00:25:47Mainly, he wanted to gloat about how I wasn't going to win the bid.
00:25:50Something about council opposition to residential property.
00:25:54That must have been galling.
00:25:56Not really.
00:25:57Who said I was doing anything residential?
00:26:00What are your plans, then?
00:26:01My plans are confidential and, for the moment, academic.
00:26:08With all due respect, I'd prefer to keep it that way, if that's all right.
00:26:12For the time being, yes.
00:26:16Ollie?
00:26:17Everything all right?
00:26:20Teenagers, eh?
00:26:22Hormones and all that.
00:26:23Does your son make a habit of lashing out?
00:26:30Oh, did you get me a coffee?
00:26:32No. No, I'm taste testing.
00:26:34Now, I get gooseberry, but I'm not getting a hint of hibiscus.
00:26:39Tastes like pencil shavings to me.
00:26:42I had no idea you ate pencils.
00:26:43I, um, I checked on Dale McManus, our house clearance expert,
00:26:48and he's had fines for fly-tipping and was once accused of identity theft,
00:26:51but nothing was ever proven.
00:26:53Interesting.
00:26:54And also, the council got back to me about an honest bidder.
00:26:57H. Appleby.
00:27:00Well, do some digging.
00:27:01And while you're at it, see if Harry Peterson has been involved
00:27:05in anything non-residential.
00:27:07Hmm, well, too.
00:27:09Oh, also, I got you something, sir.
00:27:11It's a steam wand.
00:27:14Milk frother for your coffee.
00:27:17It aerates the milk.
00:27:19Makes it creamier.
00:27:27I'll bear that in mind.
00:27:32Fleur wants a word.
00:27:33Glad you could join.
00:27:43I'm working on the numbers.
00:27:45Do you have any cryptic word games while waiting for lab results, Fleur?
00:27:48You don't get to be head of Causton Cadaver's pub quiz team without practice.
00:27:58So pay attention.
00:28:00It could be a letters to numbers code.
00:28:04A1, B2 and so on.
00:28:05So if it is, A1 would be...
00:28:08H-A.
00:28:10It could be the start of Harry.
00:28:12Or our anonymous bidder, H. Appleby.
00:28:15Whoever they may be.
00:28:17The victim held one of the markers as if he placed him on the ground himself.
00:28:24Was he trying to help identify his killer?
00:28:26That implies Mr. Worrell, after having caliparins thrust into his brain...
00:28:31Had time to think of the idea and execute it before dying.
00:28:35I can check.
00:28:37But I suspect death was instantaneous.
00:28:40It would also imply that the killer left the scene without checking the victim was dead.
00:28:45Impossible, but careless.
00:28:47Okay, so...
00:28:49Alternatively...
00:28:51Well, the killer put the markers on the ground as if Mr. Worrell had done so himself.
00:28:55To point the finger?
00:28:57To someone else.
00:28:58Exactly.
00:28:59There's something odd about these photos.
00:29:03They're numbered JPEGs, but there's quite a few of them missing.
00:29:06Why wouldn't Mr. Pollock just send all of them?
00:29:08Maybe he deleted some as he went.
00:29:10Maybe.
00:29:12In this one, the outhouse door is locked, but it was open at the crime scene.
00:29:18Well, maybe he unlocked it after people left.
00:29:20Yeah, maybe.
00:29:22Or someone else could have.
00:29:24Apart from Mr. Worrell, who else would have keys?
00:29:26His colleague Libby Trevor.
00:29:28Ah.
00:29:30Horticulturalist with the Patience of a Saint.
00:29:33Let's talk to her.
00:29:43Is the yoga meeting good?
00:29:46Yeah, fab.
00:29:47I'll grab coffees.
00:29:49Yeah.
00:29:51Hi, Chloe.
00:29:52Two lattes, please.
00:29:54Chat with you now, is he?
00:29:56Not Harry?
00:29:57You know the good-looking, very successful, super-minted Harry?
00:30:01No. Why would he be?
00:30:02Good question.
00:30:04Do you know what?
00:30:05Forget the coffees.
00:30:07Let's go.
00:30:08What?
00:30:09What is it?
00:30:10Nothing.
00:30:11What are you doing here?
00:30:12I've done emergency appointments.
00:30:13You're answering my calls.
00:30:14You've been busy.
00:30:15I'm not here.
00:30:16I'm not here.
00:30:17I'm not here.
00:30:18I'm not here.
00:30:19I'm not here.
00:30:20I'll see you later.
00:30:22I-I don't know.
00:30:23I-I 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.
00:30:29And Wulf did, didn't he?
00:30:30Oh, Wulf's not a problem anymore, is he?
00:30:32Look, um...
00:30:34Maybe we should just leave it, you know?
00:30:37We had off for a long time.
00:30:38We had off for a long time.
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.
00:30:49I don't know.
00:30:50We had our fun.
00:30:51I mean...
00:30:53It's no big deal, is it?
00:30:54And...
00:30:55You are that bit younger than me.
00:30:57What's that got to do with anything?
00:31:00Well...
00:31:01I thought, um...
00:31:03Maybe...
00:31:04Maybe you liked Chloe?
00:31:07Based on...
00:31:09You two flirting, are you?
00:31:11A correction.
00:31:12Your daughter flirting.
00:31:13She'll do for England, by the way.
00:31:14Literally anyone.
00:31:17It's...
00:31:18It's absolutely fine if you do.
00:31:19But if that is the case, then...
00:31:22I'd rather we drew the line now.
00:31:24I'm not into Chloe.
00:31:26Ruth...
00:31:30The last few weeks with you have meant a lot to me.
00:31:33So can I see you tonight?
00:31:36Please?
00:31:38You sure?
00:31:39Good afternoon, Miss Trevor. May we come in?
00:31:54Yes.
00:31:55Uh...
00:31:56Sorry about all the plants.
00:31:58They...
00:31:59They calm me.
00:32:00And...
00:32:01I like the scents.
00:32:02Well, personally, I'm getting a rather strong aroma of vanilla.
00:32:07I don't know what that can be.
00:32:08How did you get on with Mr. Worrell?
00:32:09Well...
00:32:10Um...
00:32:11Yeah, great.
00:32:12He taught me everything I know.
00:32:13And he was like a mentor to me really.
00:32:14Especially when I first moved into the area.
00:32:15And when was that?
00:32:16Four years ago this summer.
00:32:17I was on my own.
00:32:18I fell in with the Bowling Brigade.
00:32:19And I wanted to firm that up somehow, so I...
00:32:20I...
00:32:21Did you...
00:32:22I knew...
00:32:23I knew...
00:32:24You...
00:32:25I knew...
00:32:26You...
00:32:27I knew...
00:32:28I knew...
00:32:29I knew...
00:32:30I knew...
00:32:31I knew...
00:32:32But...
00:32:33It's not...
00:32:34It's not...
00:32:35It's not...
00:32:36It's not...
00:32:37It's not...
00:32:38It's not...
00:32:39A long aroma of vanilla.
00:32:40I don't know what that can be.
00:32:42How did you get on with Mr. Worrell?
00:32:44Well...
00:32:45Um...
00:32:46Yeah, great.
00:32:47So I I became the groundswoman. I gather mr. Worrell could be quite difficult. Well
00:32:54No, not at all who told you that
00:32:57Ruth Gillen said he wasn't the easiest person to work for but he was great. I
00:33:03Mean working with someone from a different generation has its challenges, right?
00:33:09The the outhouse at the bowling club. I assume you have a set of keys. Yes. Who else has?
00:33:18No one
00:33:19Just me and Wilf why because we believe whoever killed him might have had access to the outhouse
00:33:25Maybe we've just left it open. We heard that a number of you went to the swan last night. Did you all come and go at the same time? Sure
00:33:32Oh apart from Dale. Yeah, he left early. Did he now?
00:33:36Oh
00:33:43Dale didn't say anything about leaving the pub early when I asked him keep digging likewise miss Trevor she's on edge
00:33:49She's lying about something
00:33:51Oh
00:33:53Oh
00:33:56Oh
00:33:58Oh
00:34:00Oh
00:34:02Oh
00:34:04Oh
00:34:06Oh
00:34:09Oh
00:34:11Oh
00:34:13Oh
00:34:15Oh
00:34:17Oh
00:34:19Oh
00:34:21Oh
00:34:35Oh
00:34:37Oh
00:34:39Oh
00:34:41Oh
00:34:58Oh
00:35:00Oh
00:35:02Oh
00:35:04Oh
00:35:19Oh
00:35:21Oh
00:35:23Oh
00:35:25Oh
00:35:27Oh
00:35:29Oh
00:35:31Oh
00:35:33Oh
00:35:35Oh
00:35:37Oh
00:35:39Oh
00:35:41Oh
00:35:56Oh
00:35:58Oh
00:36:00Oh
00:36:02Oh
00:36:25I don't remember much to be honest
00:36:29Well try and remember if you can dad it's important
00:36:32I
00:36:34I was walking into the living room and
00:36:39Next thing I know you're all here
00:36:42Do you recall seeing anyone? Did you notice anything untoward?
00:36:46Just that the painting that was on the wall was missing
00:36:51Wilf loved that painting
00:36:53And what exactly were you doing here?
00:36:56Wilf was a good friend. I came to pay my respects
00:37:00How did you get in?
00:37:01The front door was open
00:37:03Didn't you think that was odd?
00:37:05No not really
00:37:07Wilf could be forgetful
00:37:08I'm sorry but I think we need to take Archie to hospital just to get him checked over
00:37:13Jack?
00:37:14Yeah I agree
00:37:15No no hospital the baromedic said I'm fine I just want to go home
00:37:19I need a good night's sleep before the match
00:37:21Maybe we should think about cancelling the match dad
00:37:24And it's not like you're up against a Teddy McCarthy
00:37:26Why never mind him and don't be such a loser Jack
00:37:29Your mother would turn in that grave if I didn't play
00:37:32Would she though really?
00:37:33Yes she would and don't you ever forget it
00:37:35First is first and second is nowhere
00:37:48Which reminds me Jenny we'll need a referee for tomorrow
00:37:51As someone who understands how important it is to get the right result
00:37:55I'll do my best but I'm not Wilf
00:38:02Your father claims to compete in your mother's memory but you don't think so
00:38:07He competes to prove he's the man
00:38:10Gotta see off the rivals
00:38:12Like Teddy Mulcahy
00:38:14A rival in every sense
00:38:16Meaning?
00:38:17The whole village knew Teddy carried a torch for mum
00:38:21I don't think there was anything in it but
00:38:23After she'd passed beating him mattered more than ever
00:38:26More than being there for his son
00:38:32I guess
00:38:41There was no sign of a break in the back door was locked but this door was open
00:38:47It was when Archie Pollock arrived
00:38:49It was definitely locked when I was here earlier I checked
00:38:51Meaning whoever assaulted Mr. Pollock had a set of keys
00:38:56Maybe the killer took them from Mr. Worrell at the bowling club
00:39:01How was this called in?
00:39:02999
00:39:03No name given
00:39:04Unusual for a killer to ring 999
00:39:07Unless whoever did this isn't our killer
00:39:10Maybe Mr. Pollock just disturbed a burglar stealing a painting
00:39:14Like for example the house clearance expert that was sniffing around the cottage earlier
00:39:19Speculation winter but let's pay Mr. McManus a visit
00:39:24I just want to have a quick look round
00:39:25Archie Pollock said that he came here to pay his respects
00:39:29Seems like an odd thing to do
00:39:30Especially given that when I saw him earlier he seemed more concerned
00:39:34About his good friend not being able to referee tomorrow than he was about him being dead
00:39:38So he didn't come here to pay his respects
00:39:41And why was he here?
00:39:43No I can do the job but it's got to be done by tomorrow afternoon I'm tied up in the morning
00:39:48No I can do the job but it's got to be done by tomorrow afternoon I'm tied up in the morning
00:39:57Okay okay okay I'll do it as soon as I can
00:40:16Deal
00:40:22I need a word
00:40:24The quality pieces that you said Wilf Worrell owned that you were curious about
00:40:29Did that include a painting?
00:40:30You had a few but one that was definitely worth a few Bob yeah
00:40:33The one in the kitchen?
00:40:35Is that what you were gawping out through the window when I saw you?
00:40:38No
00:40:39Tell me if your job is being familiar with objects and evaluations how much is that painting worth?
00:40:44At auction who knows
00:40:46For insurance purposes it's got to be in the region of 10k maybe more
00:40:50Tempting and it's just been stolen
00:40:53And whoever stole it assaulted Archie Pollock
00:40:55I get it you think I took the painting and assaulted Archie
00:40:59If I'd stolen it would I just tell you it was worth 10k?
00:41:02Well you might if it was worth more
00:41:04I'd be my guest in check
00:41:06I'm sure you will anyway
00:41:09Anything else?
00:41:11If not I'd like to go home
00:41:12There is something else actually when I asked you where you were last night you said you were at the pub
00:41:17I was
00:41:18You left early where did you go?
00:41:20Home
00:41:23I was tired
00:41:23I was tired
00:41:25Can I go now?
00:41:53Honestly Jamie I love it
00:42:11I was practicing all last night
00:42:14Which kept John and I awake trying to catch up with Betty on the four fours
00:42:17I think 73 is the closest we've come to divorce
00:42:20Right what do you think?
00:42:25That's pretty good
00:42:27Oh here's Einstein
00:42:28Oh morning sir
00:42:30Jamie's just been telling me all about grinders and tampers
00:42:32Have you now?
00:42:33Well I hate to interrupt coffee morning winter but we have work to do
00:42:37Are you planning a holiday sir?
00:42:40Research actually
00:42:42Something Jack Pollock mentioned about starting a new life
00:42:45Several developments overnight sir Harry Peterson doesn't just do residential
00:42:51He's a partner in a chain of healthcare centres across Europe
00:42:54Also he's trying to buy some woodland on the edge of the village but the application doesn't say what for
00:42:59The bowling club and woodland he clearly wants to make his mark
00:43:03As for the other bidder H is for Holly Appleby and she's proving quite elusive
00:43:07All I can find is a P.O. box in Midsomer Parva
00:43:11Well find out when she got the P.O. box
00:43:13Yeah we'll do so
00:43:14Also there was a message on Wilford's answer machine that you need to hear
00:43:18It was left by Dale McManus two days ago
00:43:22I'll keep this brief
00:43:23I'm sick of it and I've told you loads
00:43:25Back off roof
00:43:25You're a dead man
00:43:28Prophetic to say the least
00:43:30Get him tiger
00:43:40And Ollie if you don't win it's okay, right?
00:44:00I heard about the assault, are you okay?
00:44:05Perfectly fine
00:44:06Thanks to you
00:44:15Enjoyed last night?
00:44:16Me too
00:44:19And now I'm tired of hiding
00:44:22Not that gun
00:44:23I had a fault this morning
00:44:26We'll just go somewhere else, start fresh
00:44:30I'm serious
00:44:32Are you playing games with me?
00:44:33No
00:44:36After this I've got a job to do then I'm free
00:44:41What do you say?
00:44:42What are we waiting for?
00:44:43Oi
00:44:44Dale
00:44:45Chop chop
00:44:46You need to get your eye in
00:44:49Aren't you mate?
00:44:50How's the head all right?
00:44:55Check with Jack Pollock about the rest of the pictures he took
00:44:57The ones he didn't send us
00:44:59Yeah, we'll do so
00:45:06Everything all right?
00:45:07Oh, just worried about Archie, that's all
00:45:11Tell me, how far do you think he'd go to win today?
00:45:14Well, as far as needs be
00:45:16That's what worries me
00:45:19At a medication you prescribed for Mr. Worrell, you mentioned statins and beta blockers
00:45:25Yeah, that's right
00:45:26If someone else took them, would they, for example, help with an arm tremor?
00:45:32Then they might, although taking someone else's medication is dangerous
00:45:39And illegal
00:45:39Oh, my God
00:45:45Best score, refereeing duties to attend to
00:45:47Yeah, I'll break a leg
00:45:49Actually, Jenny
00:45:56Nothing
00:45:57Ah, Mr. Pollock
00:46:03Now those files that you sent us, some of them are missing
00:46:06Uh, were they?
00:46:07Uh, well, I might have deleted some
00:46:09Sure, but we'd still like to retrieve them if we can
00:46:10Okay, can I get them to you later?
00:46:12We can do it now
00:46:13Just, um, airdrop them to me
00:46:17Yeah, I'm not sure I know how to do that
00:46:19I could show you
00:46:27Have you taken Wilf's notes?
00:46:41Apart from being incredibly irresponsible, you do know that's essentially dumping
00:46:44Should have given me a prescription then
00:46:47I have my reputation to think of
00:46:48So do I, and mine's worth more than yours
00:46:51Especially since Wilf told me all about you and Dale
00:46:54Right, Dale
00:47:18Heads
00:47:19All these orbitals, you get to choose ends
00:47:25Would you east-west, please?
00:47:27Better lie the land
00:47:28It'll take more than that
00:47:30Archie, your Bull's Whisperers gets to choose who stars
00:47:34They can
00:47:35Right, let's get ready
00:47:54Bodu yowo
00:48:01You're a little bit out
00:48:02Nice, false
00:48:03Congratulations
00:48:03Well, Scott
00:48:04All right, what's that?
00:48:05You're a little bit out
00:48:08Yeah, I'm giving
00:48:10A little bit out
00:48:15You're going to put your time into the crowd
00:48:16Oh, man, that's perfect.
00:48:46You were right to check the photos, by the way.
00:48:54The ones that Jack Pollock didn't manage to send us
00:48:56all have one striking thing in common.
00:48:59They all show Archie Pollock arguing with Will Forrell.
00:49:05Yeah.
00:49:06Question is, what about?
00:49:08Let's speak to our bowling legend as soon as this match ends.
00:49:12We're on the deciding end now.
00:49:16Let's go.
00:50:51Over to you, Jenny.
00:50:53And the winner is...
00:51:09Yes!
00:51:10Yes!
00:51:11Yes!
00:51:12Yes!
00:51:13Yes!
00:51:14Absolutely.
00:51:15Oh, my.
00:51:16Ice cold.
00:51:18Oh, my.
00:51:19Just this.
00:51:20Here he comes.
00:51:21What was I meant to do?
00:51:22Look, you did the right thing.
00:51:23You are no daughter-in-law of mine!
00:51:24Don't know why you married her.
00:51:28Don't know why you married her.
00:51:29You speak to Archie Pollock.
00:51:30I'll talk to Dale McMann.
00:51:31I will do.
00:51:32Will they?
00:51:33Will they?
00:51:34Will they?
00:51:35Will they?
00:51:36Will they?
00:51:37Will they?
00:51:38Are you ready?
00:51:39Oh, yes.
00:51:40Oh, yes.
00:51:41That's good.
00:51:42Lovely.
00:51:43That's good.
00:51:44Lovely.
00:51:45Lovely.
00:51:46Where is Mr. Pollock Senior?
00:51:48He stormed off.
00:51:49He's not out front, he didn't.
00:51:50There was a back exit.
00:51:52Okay.
00:51:53I'll talk to Dale McMann.
00:51:55I'll talk to Dale McMann.
00:51:57I will do.
00:51:58Will they?
00:51:59Are they?
00:52:00Ready?
00:52:01Oh, yes.
00:52:02That's good.
00:52:03Lovely.
00:52:04Where is Mr. Pollock Senior?
00:52:06He stormed off.
00:52:07He was not out front, he didn't.
00:52:08There's a back exit.
00:52:17I think he wanted to avoid people.
00:52:47I don't know.
00:53:17Let's go.
00:53:47Harry Peterson found the body, called it in, and then went home.
00:54:00Did he now?
00:54:01You'll need a word.
00:54:07I'm guessing you're familiar with the identity of the Brooklyn.
00:54:11I am.
00:54:13Dale McManus.
00:54:15Was it an accident?
00:54:17Hard to be sure, but we're checking the crane cabin for prints.
00:54:22I'll need to confirm, but...
00:54:24Preliminary indications suggest cause of death was a combination of blunt trauma to the head
00:54:30and compression of the chest area, leading to pneumothorax.
00:54:35Not pleasant.
00:54:39Noticed anything missing?
00:54:41It's Van.
00:54:42Perhaps the killer took it.
00:54:44I'll put a marker on its circulator trace.
00:54:46What we do have though, about 30 metres over there, is a large collection of white goods.
00:54:51A fridge freezer, washing machine, the whole lot.
00:54:53Fly tipping.
00:54:54Hmm.
00:55:03Mr. Peterson.
00:55:06It was you who found Dale McManus's body.
00:55:08Is that right?
00:55:09Yes, that's right.
00:55:10You were just passing, were you?
00:55:11So soon after your son's finest hour at the bowling club.
00:55:14Seems a bit strange.
00:55:15I'm interested in buying that plot of woodland.
00:55:18I go there sometimes to think over my potential investment.
00:55:21And you just happened across Mr. McManus's body?
00:55:24That's correct, yes.
00:55:26Mr. Peterson, we can confiscate your phone and your computer and find out the real reason you went there.
00:55:32Or you could save us some time and just tell us the truth.
00:55:39I was due to meet Jenny Pollock.
00:55:43I'm thinking of building a yoga centre there that she might run.
00:55:47That's very generous of you.
00:55:48Not at all.
00:55:49I'm a businessman.
00:55:50She's very good at what she does.
00:55:52It would be a sound investment.
00:55:54I see.
00:55:56Did Mr. McManus have anything to do with this plan?
00:55:59No, nothing at all.
00:56:00I was late getting there after celebrating with Ollie.
00:56:02And when I arrived, he was just lying there.
00:56:07So if you went to meet Mrs. Pollock, why wasn't she there?
00:56:10I don't know.
00:56:12She texted me to meet her there straight after the final.
00:56:15I didn't send a text to Harry.
00:56:17Mr. Peterson definitely received one. We saw it.
00:56:25No text.
00:56:26But you could have deleted it.
00:56:28I didn't.
00:56:30Then someone else must have.
00:56:31Who else would have had access to your phone?
00:56:34Presumably you have a passcode.
00:56:36One, two, three, four.
00:56:38It's guessable.
00:56:39But anyway, I always have my phone on me.
00:56:42The text was sent at 11.24, which is around the time the bowling final was due to start.
00:56:47Did you have your phone on you then?
00:56:48Actually, no. It was in my bag which I left in the outhouse.
00:56:54So it could have been accessed there by anyone at the bowling match?
00:56:58Yeah, I suppose.
00:57:00This business venture you might be embarking on with Harry Peterson, is it public knowledge?
00:57:05What business venture?
00:57:06I think that answers my question.
00:57:08It's nothing, Jack.
00:57:09Really.
00:57:11Harry's thinking of buying some land and setting up a yoga centre.
00:57:15He has some experience in that area.
00:57:17Healthcare centres across Europe, etc.
00:57:19Exactly.
00:57:20What's that got to do with you?
00:57:22He asked me if I wanted to run it.
00:57:23What?
00:57:24And you didn't tell me because...
00:57:25Because there's nothing to tell.
00:57:28Look, I'm not going to do it.
00:57:29I don't want to get into business with Harry. He's a non-starter.
00:57:35Mr Pollock, the photographs that you didn't send us to begin with showed your father and Mr Worrell arguing.
00:57:43Do you know what about?
00:57:45No, I don't.
00:57:46Was not sending us the photos just an oversight or did you think they might implicate your father?
00:57:55I was trying to protect him.
00:57:57Because you think he might have killed Mr Worrell?
00:57:59No, of course not.
00:58:00I just...
00:58:01I was worried, I guess.
00:58:02I knew it didn't look good.
00:58:06I know what they were arguing about.
00:58:10Archie told me about it last night as part of trying to get me to cheat on his behalf.
00:58:15He asked Wilf if he could have some of his meds to cam his arm.
00:58:19Wilf said no.
00:58:20So, Mr Pollock stole them after Mr Worrell was killed.
00:58:25Where is your father now?
00:58:28He refuses to be under the seam roof as me.
00:58:30He's out walking.
00:58:31He'll be back soon.
00:58:32He'll calm down.
00:58:38Archie Pollock isn't going to calm down any time soon.
00:58:41Winning the bulls meant too much to him.
00:58:43Something to do with unresolved grief about the death of his wife.
00:58:47What do you make of Mr and Mrs Pollock?
00:58:49I'm not sure.
00:58:50If it's just about a yoga center, then I don't see why Mrs Pollock didn't just tell her husband.
00:58:54Well, maybe she knew he'd be suspicious.
00:58:56I mean, she could be lying to cover her tracks.
00:58:59What about Harry Peterson?
00:59:00Well, we can't rule him out.
00:59:01He wouldn't be the first murderer to pretend to have found the body.
00:59:04We can't rule out Archie Pollock either.
00:59:06Keep digging on the Pollock family.
00:59:08It finances, background, everything.
00:59:10Yeah, we'll do.
00:59:12Do you know what Dale was planning on doing after the final?
00:59:14Um, he said he had a job to do, that's all.
00:59:16We needed to talk to him about a message he left on Mr Worrell's answer machine.
00:59:21You were mentioned in that message.
00:59:23We need to know what it was about.
00:59:28What is it, Mum?
00:59:29Dale and I were seeing each other.
00:59:35So that's where you were two nights ago?
00:59:37The night Mr Worrell was killed?
00:59:39Yes, me and Dale met up.
00:59:42That would explain why you left the pub early.
00:59:45Why not just say?
00:59:48You could have told me.
00:59:49No, I couldn't.
00:59:51I didn't want it to be public knowledge.
00:59:53Why was that?
00:59:55Chloe's dad ran off with a younger woman.
00:59:58And I was very publicly humiliated and devastated.
01:00:03And even more publicly, a vocal opponent to inappropriately aged relationships.
01:00:12Dale was hardly a babe in arms.
01:00:14He was in his thirties.
01:00:15I'm in my fifties.
01:00:18But also I just, I didn't want my private life to be the talk of the village again.
01:00:23I hated that.
01:00:25So I wasn't comfortable going public until I was completely sure about Dale.
01:00:31And were you?
01:00:34Yes.
01:00:36I was now.
01:00:38But when Mr Worrell found out about you two, he threatened to blap.
01:00:42Oh, and some.
01:00:44Wilf was old school.
01:00:46Disapproved.
01:00:47Loved having something over us.
01:00:49Famous for it.
01:00:50Radio Wilf, we called him.
01:00:52And no secret was safe.
01:00:54He loved seeing my discomfort, reveled in it.
01:00:57He said the only thing he enjoyed more than dealing antiques was dealing in secrets.
01:01:01And Dale?
01:01:04Lovable hot head that he was.
01:01:07He hated seeing me being manipulated.
01:01:11So he left a message telling Wilf to keep quiet.
01:01:16His wording was quite severe.
01:01:19That was just Dale being protective.
01:01:22He went in a bit heavy.
01:01:23Didn't mean anything by it.
01:01:25He didn't kill him, if that's what you're thinking.
01:01:29I don't know what you're so worried about, Mum.
01:01:32Not the only one round here misbehaving.
01:01:34Why, um, who else is?
01:01:36Well, Harry and Jenny, for starters.
01:01:40Saw them having a lover's tiff out in the woods.
01:01:42Well, they say that they were discussing a joint business venture.
01:01:45Believe me, what I saw was no business talk.
01:01:48I'm surprised. I thought she'd seen him off.
01:01:51Seen him off? In what way?
01:01:53Well, when Harry moved in, he made no secret of the fact that he was attracted to Jenny.
01:01:58It was the talk of the village.
01:01:59Like Jack's mum and Teddy Mokahi all over again.
01:02:02Jenny fobbed him off. At least we thought she did.
01:02:06Something Mr. Peterson said, money can't buy happiness.
01:02:12Maybe he was talking about Jenny.
01:02:14How did Jack Pollock handle all this?
01:02:17Jack's Jack. He just lets these things roll over him.
01:02:29MUSIC PLAYS
01:02:49Sir, news on our anonymous second bidder, Holly Appleby.
01:02:52She started the P.O. Box four years ago.
01:02:55Hmm.
01:02:56A lot of falls in the ether at the moment.
01:02:58The 4-4 Challenge.
01:02:59Four years, Holly Appleby has had her P.O. Box.
01:03:03And it's four years since Libby Trevor moved to the area.
01:03:07Before that, Holly Appleby lived in Asperntullo.
01:03:10She went through a messy divorce, ended up in the courts.
01:03:13But why open a P.O. Box?
01:03:15To protect her anonymity when she moved on, perhaps.
01:03:18Interestingly, Libby Trevor said she moved here on her own.
01:03:22Hmm.
01:03:23Thinking that maybe Holly Appleby changed her name to Libby Trevor.
01:03:26Possibly.
01:03:27But why would an assistant groundswoman put in a bid to buy the bowling club?
01:03:30Because she loves her job.
01:03:33Well, you say that, but if that's the case, what are all these bowling balls still doing out here?
01:03:37Why wouldn't Libby Trevor put them away after the final?
01:03:41Unless she left in a hurry.
01:03:43Busy?
01:03:44Oh.
01:03:45What?
01:03:46No.
01:03:47I was just sorting.
01:03:48Mind if we take a look in the greenhouse?
01:03:49Hmm.
01:03:50Hmm.
01:03:51Vanilla.
01:03:53Hmm.
01:03:54Hmm.
01:03:55Hmm.
01:03:56Hmm.
01:03:57Hmm.
01:03:58Hmm.
01:03:59Hmm.
01:04:00Hmm.
01:04:01Hmm.
01:04:02Hmm.
01:04:03Hmm.
01:04:04Hmm.
01:04:05Hmm.
01:04:06Hmm.
01:04:07Hmm.
01:04:08Hmm.
01:04:09Hmm.
01:04:10Hmm.

01:04:12Hmm.
01:04:13Hmm.
01:04:14Hmm.
01:04:15Hmm.
01:04:16Hmm.
01:04:17Hmm.
01:04:18Hmm.
01:04:19Hmm.
01:04:20Hmm.
01:04:21That's not earth on your hands, is it?
01:04:23It's vanilla scented coffee.
01:04:25Hmm.
01:04:26Hmm.
01:04:27And this is the real Midsomer Mocco.
01:04:29Time to come clean, Holly.
01:04:34It is Holly, isn't it?
01:04:55Hmm.
01:04:56Hello?
01:04:57Hmm.
01:04:58Dale!
01:04:59Is that you?
01:05:00Oh.
01:05:01Ah!
01:05:02Ah!
01:05:03Ah!
01:05:04Ah!
01:05:05Ah!
01:05:06Ah!
01:05:07Ah!
01:05:08Ah!
01:05:09Ah!
01:05:10Ah!
01:05:11Ah!
01:05:12Ah!
01:05:13Ah!
01:05:14Ah!
01:05:15Ah!
01:05:16Ah!
01:05:20Ah!
01:05:21Ah!
01:05:22Ah!
01:05:23Ah!
01:05:24Lovely. Cheers, mate. Thank you.
01:05:31Hey, which one do you want to try this time?
01:05:34Something authentic would be good.
01:05:36Okay. What can I hit you with?
01:05:39Colombian? Guatemalan?
01:05:41Actually, you can hit me with the truth
01:05:43and fill me in about Dale McManus blackmailing you.
01:05:47Or I can introduce you to the Causton CID coffee machine,
01:05:50which is about as authentic as you are.
01:05:54My marriage was abusive.
01:06:07But I finally got out of it and I started over in Midsomer, Deverell.
01:06:11Changing your name and trying to make sure your ex couldn't track you down.
01:06:16Libby started out as Liberty, a sign of my new freedom.
01:06:24So all I wanted to do was belong and I thought that the bowling club would do that.
01:06:32But Mr. Worrell made it difficult.
01:06:34Wolf was a bully.
01:06:35Which wasn't good for me because it reminded me of what I had fought so hard to escape from.
01:06:50Earlier you were very complimentary about Mr. Worrell.
01:06:53You said he was like a mentor to you.
01:06:55Why lie?
01:06:56I'm sorry, I guess I didn't want to speak ill of the dead.
01:07:04I didn't want to have to admit all this.
01:07:06How did you become involved with Midsomer Mocker?
01:07:11I liked Lucas's dream.
01:07:15And I was trying to figure out how to do something positive with a property that I owned in Aspen Tallow.
01:07:22So I thought that if I sold it, I could use the proceeds as collateral.
01:07:28To join forces and help to buy the bowling club.
01:07:32That was the theory.
01:07:35But in practice it's proving kind of different.
01:07:41That's the thing with dreams.
01:07:44They don't always come true.
01:07:45With Libby's backing, the plan is to turn the bowling club into a coffee emporium.
01:07:53With an outside space for coffee events and music gigs.
01:07:56Emporium.
01:07:57We've hardly won over the hearts and minds so far.
01:07:59We just need time.
01:08:02You can make the best coffee in the world.
01:08:04Source the best growers.
01:08:05Use the finest beans.
01:08:07That's if you don't have anyone to drink it.
01:08:11We've seen your set up in Libby's greenhouse.
01:08:12Everything here is fake.
01:08:17We just needed to reduce costs in order to survive.
01:08:20Until things take off.
01:08:21By importing the cheapest beans that you can find.
01:08:25Probably not ethically sourced.
01:08:26And roasting them yourself.
01:08:28It's not going to be forever.
01:08:30And you assumed that no one would find out.
01:08:33But Dale McManus did.
01:08:35Have accessed his emails.
01:08:37He found out what you and Libby are up to.
01:08:39And he's been trying to extort money from you.
01:08:41Money I haven't got.
01:08:43You might if you broke into Wilf Worrell's house and stole a painting.
01:08:48Did Wilf find out your little secret too?
01:08:51What?
01:08:52No.
01:08:53Look, I didn't like Wilf.
01:08:55Wilf didn't like me.
01:08:56But I didn't steal any painting.
01:08:58What do you think I am?
01:09:00A fraud.
01:09:02Someone desperate to keep their dream alive.
01:09:06Dale McManus was found dead earlier today.
01:09:09I swear I don't know anything about that.
01:09:20Lucas Shaw?
01:09:21Mm.
01:09:22He's admitted fraud.
01:09:23But he's adamant that he didn't kill anyone.
01:09:25And I think he's telling the truth.
01:09:27He's misguided, but he isn't a killer.
01:09:29What about Libby Trevor?
01:09:30I don't think she's killed anyone either.
01:09:33So who did kill Dale McManus?
01:09:35And why?
01:09:38I wonder if we might be taking Mr. McManus's death too much at face value.
01:09:43Meaning?
01:09:43Well, we know that Harry Peterson received a text message from someone wanting to meet
01:09:50him in the woods, but he was delayed by the match celebrations with his son.
01:09:56So what if Mr. McManus, in the woods to dump white goods, was just in the wrong place at
01:10:02the wrong time?
01:10:03Harry Peterson was the real type.
01:10:05Indeed.
01:10:07Well, how are we doing with the Pollock family background?
01:10:10Financials are interesting.
01:10:12Accounts are all in order.
01:10:14But you were right to look into the Turks and Caicos.
01:10:16Some years ago, Jack Pollock lost a whole pile of money in an investment there.
01:10:20And apart from that, everything's above board.
01:10:24Well, interestingly, though, he did the accounts of Teddy Mulcahy.
01:10:28Oh, his father's nemesis.
01:10:32Presumably historic accounts, given that Mr. Mulcahy's been dead for years.
01:10:36I guess.
01:10:37I'll check.
01:10:40Mr. Pollock, how can I help?
01:10:47We're on our way.
01:10:50Jack Pollock.
01:10:51He says his father's been kidnapped.
01:10:54Any further word?
01:11:03Anonymous email demanding a quarter of a million pounds as a ransom.
01:11:06We'll try and trace the sender.
01:11:08Four hours to find that money.
01:11:10How am I going to do that?
01:11:11You're not.
01:11:11We don't recommend giving in to ransom demands.
01:11:14And this seems more like an act of financial desperation than anything else.
01:11:17It's easy for you to say it's not your father whose life's in danger.
01:11:19If I had the money, I'd hand it over right this second.
01:11:22Can we borrow against the house?
01:11:23I've already spoken to the bank.
01:11:24There isn't the time.
01:11:25You don't have that kind of money.
01:11:26Maybe we could call him local support.
01:11:28We'd never raise enough.
01:11:29What about Hardy?
01:11:31I could ask him.
01:11:32We could ask him.
01:11:34Thanks.
01:11:35Uniform have triangulated the signal and found your father's phone.
01:11:38It's roadside on a country lane.
01:11:40You head over there.
01:11:41Yeah, in the meantime, please, don't do anything without talking to us.
01:11:53I doubt there's much in the way of road cameras here.
01:11:57There might be one at the junction where the road meets the village.
01:11:59I'll get tech onto it urgently.
01:12:01One mobile phone and one discarded bowling ball.
01:12:12Is that blood?
01:12:14Actually, it's coffee.
01:12:16If it's still wet, we could get winter to do a taste test.
01:12:19Already done it.
01:12:20We'll do a GC-MS test in the lab to make sure,
01:12:24but I did the old PTT, pipette tongue taste.
01:12:29My guess would be powdered instant.
01:12:46I can't just sit here and do nothing.
01:12:51Dad's out there somewhere.
01:12:56It's all my fault.
01:12:59Look, I don't like the idea,
01:13:02but I think we have to do what you suggested.
01:13:06Ask Harry.
01:13:07What about the police?
01:13:09What about them?
01:13:19Harry.
01:13:21It's me.
01:13:22What's the connection between the murders and the kidnapper?
01:13:31Money.
01:13:32Someone is desperate for it.
01:13:35They stole a valuable painting from Mr. Worrell,
01:13:37and now they want a quarter of a million pounds
01:13:39for the return of Archie Pollock.
01:13:41Why?
01:13:42Greed?
01:13:43A debt, more like.
01:13:44I think someone got into trouble and made the mistake of asking Mr. Worrell,
01:13:48who you said had money, to borrow someone.
01:13:51Mr. Worrell said no, because he's an old curmudgeon.
01:13:53Who likes nothing better than dealing in other people's secrets.
01:13:57He threatens to tell the world, and so needs to be silenced.
01:14:01You know what's really bugging me about these photos
01:14:05is that they're not shots of Jenny Pollock
01:14:09with Archie and Wilf in the background.
01:14:12The two men are the main subject of the pictures.
01:14:15Meaning that Jack Pollock was curious about the argument,
01:14:18which was just about meds.
01:14:20He said he didn't know what it was about,
01:14:22but maybe he thought they were arguing about something else.
01:14:25Hmm.
01:14:25Well, we checked out Teddy Mulcahy's accounts,
01:14:28and interestingly, so was the taxman.
01:14:31Heavily in debt and still active,
01:14:33we're pending imminent investigation.
01:14:35So the financial clock is ticking and the net closing in?
01:14:39Who would know how to keep a dead man's accounts alive?
01:14:45Jack Pollock would.
01:14:47He hasn't kidnapped his own father, has he?
01:14:51Winter.
01:14:54Ah.
01:14:55OK.
01:14:56Yeah, thanks.
01:14:57Control have sighted Dale McManus's van
01:15:00in a field next to the woods.
01:15:02Let's go.
01:15:13What are you doing here?
01:15:14I could ask you the same question.
01:15:16I asked you not to do anything without talking to us.
01:15:18You don't understand.
01:15:19They said to come alone.
01:15:20You, uh, use Harry's phone to transfer the money.
01:15:25Then and only then would Dad be released.
01:15:27We need to do what they say.
01:15:29Transfer the money.
01:15:32Don't.
01:15:32Look, quick, quick.
01:15:33The time's running out.
01:15:34It is indeed, Mr. Pollock.
01:15:37There are no kidnappers because there was no kidnapping, was there?
01:15:42Someone tell me what the hell is going on.
01:15:44Mr. Pollock has faked his father's kidnapping.
01:15:47Jenny, what?
01:15:49What's going on?
01:15:50What are you doing here?
01:15:50I need to know what's happening.
01:15:52Mr. Pollock here, one failed Turks and Caicos investment behind him,
01:15:57needed to do something.
01:15:59Prove himself to his father and provide for his wife.
01:16:02Was Mr. Peterson's arrival in the village the trigger,
01:16:06the dashing international businessman you couldn't compete?
01:16:10Well, you tried to by making investments under a false name,
01:16:13your father's nemesis, Teddy Mulcahy.
01:16:15Was that some kind of private joke to get at your father?
01:16:18Why?
01:16:18Because he wasn't there for me.
01:16:24He was never there.
01:16:27After Mum died, he was too obsessed with his stupid bowling!
01:16:31So when your fake investments went wrong with the tax man looming,
01:16:37you asked Wilf Worrell to bail you out.
01:16:40What a mistake that was.
01:16:42He said no and started lording it over me.
01:16:45Which explains the photos.
01:16:46You were never worried how those photos looked for your father.
01:16:49I saw Wilf having words with Dad.
01:16:52I thought he was telling him about me.
01:16:54And I needed to know for sure.
01:16:55That's why I went back.
01:16:56But he wasn't, but that just made things worse.
01:16:59So you needed to silence him.
01:17:01And knowing where Mr. Worrell kept the keys,
01:17:03you went to the outhouse.
01:17:05You killed him.
01:17:06And then tried to point the finger at your nemesis, Harry.
01:17:11You thought H-A might be enough.
01:17:13I wasn't thinking straight.
01:17:14I needed money fast.
01:17:16So you stole a painting, accidentally assaulting your father in the process.
01:17:20And then you decide to target Harry direct.
01:17:23You used Jenny's phone to lure him to the woods only.
01:17:27That doesn't work either.
01:17:29Harry's delayed and you kill an innocent man.
01:17:31I didn't mean to kill Dale.
01:17:34He was the wrong man in the wrong place.
01:17:37You're panicked.
01:17:39You're lost.
01:17:40And then it hits you.
01:17:43The solution to everything.
01:17:45Pretend to kidnap your father.
01:17:47Demand a ransom that will clear your debts once and for all.
01:17:50Knowing that your wife would turn to Harry to pay for it.
01:17:53Before he's killed by kidnappers.
01:17:56Otherwise known as you.
01:17:59Jack.
01:18:00It should have been him.
01:18:04Stay back.
01:18:05All right, help me, but I'll get him.
01:18:07Put the knife down, Jack.
01:18:09It won't help.
01:18:10I was so close.
01:18:11To sailing off into the sunset?
01:18:13Just...
01:18:15I wanted us to be happy.
01:18:18I wanted us to be together.
01:18:21I am.
01:18:22We are.
01:18:24No, no.
01:18:25You're having an affair.
01:18:26I'm not.
01:18:27I've seen all your messages.
01:18:30I've seen your secret meetings.
01:18:33The fear of being caught.
01:18:35Because I didn't want you to think this.
01:18:38Right.
01:18:40You're going to run off with him.
01:18:42And live happily ever after.
01:18:44And you know what?
01:18:44I don't blame you.
01:18:46Because I can't compete with him.
01:18:50Look at me.
01:18:50Look at me and tell me you weren't tempted.
01:18:54Okay, I was.
01:18:58But I didn't give in to it.
01:19:01Though I stayed true.
01:19:04Because I love you.
01:19:11It's true.
01:19:12She loves you, not me.
01:19:14What have you done, Jack?
01:19:17Your wife doesn't cheat.
01:19:19You just believe the gossip.
01:19:21I was a laughingstock.
01:19:24You're not.
01:19:25Nothing happened.
01:19:28I wanted it to.
01:19:30But Jenny refused.
01:19:32Even when I just wanted to invest in her with a yoga center.
01:19:35She refused that too.
01:19:36She thought it would be inappropriate.
01:19:37You had the dream already.
01:19:43You were living it.
01:19:53Oh, God.
01:20:07I'm sorry, Dad.
01:20:25So am I.
01:20:32Oh, come on, Betty.
01:20:33Everybody wants to see the trophy.
01:20:34I give you the 4x4 Maths Challenge Champion.
01:20:38Yay!
01:20:40And it was all her own work.
01:20:42It was actually.
01:20:43We were rubbish.
01:20:44Together we have a new challenge.
01:20:47Yeah, we do indeed.
01:20:48A bowling match.
01:20:49These were my grandfather's pride and joy.
01:20:53Oh, and we also have to honour Harry Peterson's successful bid
01:20:56to buy the Midsummer Deverell Bowling Club.
01:20:58He plans to modernise it and keep it as a bowling club
01:21:00for his son to play at.
01:21:02Very good.
01:21:03They, uh, had names for their teams, didn't they?
01:21:06They did.
01:21:07There's Archie's Bowls Whisperers and Ollie's Orbitals.
01:21:11And I've been giving some thought to a name for us.
01:21:14And in every sense, you can't beat Barnaby's Bowling Bevies.
01:21:19You're comparing me to a drink.
01:21:20That's something else I'm very fond of.
01:21:22I thought of, uh, Fleur Power.
01:21:25Or the Flying Fleurs.
01:21:28But I'll leave it to Jamie.
01:21:31Winter Milan.
01:21:32Oh, come on, come on.
01:21:45Oh, come on.
01:21:45Come on.
01:21:46Oh, yeah.
01:21:51Oh, yeah.
01:21:52Oh, I think we did it.
01:22:06Oh, well.
01:22:14I think the clear winner is...
01:22:18Hang on.
01:22:22That's cheating.
01:22:24Of course it's not.
01:22:25It's a bowl, isn't it?
01:22:26Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
