00:00:00Oh
00:00:30Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Archie.
00:00:39Need I remind you, Miss Gillen, this is a no-smoking club.
00:00:43Apologies for my daughter, Wilf.
00:00:45She gets the attitude from her father.
00:00:47That's why I divorced him.
00:00:49That and the fact you ran off with your hairdresser.
00:00:51Which was devastating.
00:00:53Best hairdresser I ever had, excuse me.
00:01:00That's good.
00:01:07Yeah, that's great.
00:01:08And the players in the back, maybe with the...
00:01:09Come a bit this way.
00:01:12Okay.
00:01:12Oh, it's okay.
00:01:13Just, yeah, that's nice.
00:01:14Is that okay?
00:01:15Yeah, that's great.
00:01:16It's great.
00:01:16Just smile a bit.
00:01:17Love it.
00:01:17Do that.
00:01:19Oh, I'm so, I'm so sorry.
00:01:27Are you going through?
00:01:28Yeah.
00:01:30Excuse me, I'll just...
00:01:31Sorry.
00:01:32Sorry.
00:01:34All right, Jenny, just relax.
00:01:35Oh, okay.
00:01:36Just for the club website.
00:01:37Okay, all right, let's just get it over with.
00:01:38Yeah, all right.
00:01:39That is great.
00:01:41You can polish your balls all you like, Dale, but we all know you're a marbles man underneath.
00:01:45Aren't you, mate?
00:01:47Show these amateurs how it's done.
00:01:48My pleasure.
00:01:49Oh, tension getting to you, isn't it?
00:02:00Never.
00:02:01Never.
00:02:06My beauty.
00:02:09Nice one.
00:02:11Monster of work.
00:02:12Actually, I think mine's nearest.
00:02:14How old are you, Wilf?
00:02:15Black ball closer.
00:02:29Archie's team wins.
00:02:30What?
00:02:31No way.
00:02:31Are you joking?
00:02:32Fix.
00:02:33They never lie.
00:02:35Chloe, you know the membership rules as well as the rest of us.
00:02:37Referee's decision is final.
00:02:39Yeah, but my ball is closer.
00:02:40Oh, he's right.
00:02:42Just a bunch of cheats.
00:02:43I'm sick of this farce.
00:02:44Are you going to let him get away with this, Ruth?
00:02:45Uh, leave the town, mate.
00:02:46Ban him, Ruth.
00:02:47Ban him.
00:02:47Okay, let's just calm it.
00:02:49It's only a knockabout.
00:02:51Save your energy for the championship finals, okay?
00:02:54You.
00:02:55I want a word.
00:02:55I want a word.
00:02:59I want a word.
00:03:02I want a word.
00:03:04I want a word.
00:03:06I want a word.
00:03:08I want a word.
00:03:10All right, champ.
00:03:20Bunch of losers, that one.
00:03:23Have a good evening for it.
00:03:24I want a word.
00:03:54I want a word.
00:04:24I want a word.
00:04:54I want a word.
00:05:24Betty, I think I've cracked 18.
00:05:28Listen, now, 4 times 4 equals 16 plus 4 is 20 minus the square root of 4, which is 2, equals 18.
00:05:38Well done, darling.
00:05:40The 4-4 math challenge.
00:05:42Remember it well.
00:05:4319?
00:05:45Oh, I think we've got to get to work, haven't we, Winter?
00:05:48Yes, we do, Skip.
00:05:49Oh, sorry, darling.
00:05:51Get me Jackie.
00:05:52Four factorial, 24, minus 4 minus 4 minus 4 minus 4 minus 4 minus 4 over 4, 19.
00:05:58She knows.
00:06:00Betty's actually up to 53, but John's more likely to let her stay up late tonight if he feels like he's out.
00:06:04That's top maths, that, sir. Well done.
00:06:08Well, thank you. And I'm actually more of a Shakespeare man, really.
00:06:34Victim is Wilfred Wilf Worrell, 80, widower, retired, antiques dealer and groundsman.
00:06:41I never really understood the fascination with bowls.
00:06:44Really, I love a bit of bowling. I just play my granddad all the time.
00:06:47You know, it dates back to the 13th century.
00:06:49Surprisingly skilled. It's all in the wrist action.
00:06:53Right.
00:07:04Great. More numbers. Morning, Fleur. Morning.
00:07:13Quite a mouthful. Was that to silence him?
00:07:16Whatever it was for, it wasn't the cause of death. That's PBI.
00:07:21Penetrating brain injury to you. Caused by these.
00:07:26Measuring calipers. Thrust into the nasal cavity with considerable force.
00:07:31Indications of cranial penetration and associated cerebral trauma.
00:07:36Triggering intracranial hemorrhage.
00:07:39Victim could have had them on him.
00:07:41Or they might have been taken from the outhouse over there.
00:07:49Time of death?
00:07:51Judging from the lividity of the bruising around the nostrils, I'd say we're talking early evening.
00:07:56What about these markers? Looks like the victim placed them there himself.
00:08:00A score?
00:08:01As in a score to settle, sir?
00:08:03One thing at a time, Winter. Mobile phone?
00:08:05No sign of one. Or any other personal effect.
00:08:09Who found him?
00:08:10Ah. That would be the Dawn Chorus Yoga Club.
00:08:15Yes. Yoga teacher Jenny Pollock.
00:08:19Along with mother and daughter Ruth and Chloe Gillan.
00:08:23Mum Ruth is a GP and the bowling club president.
00:08:26I've met her at many a medical get to go.
00:08:39Ruth Gillan?
00:08:40Was Wilf Worrell a mainstay of the club?
00:08:45He was indeed. Too much so, really.
00:08:49In what way?
00:08:50Oh, Wilf should have retired years ago.
00:08:52He wasn't a well man.
00:08:54Thyroid issues mainly.
00:08:56And I finally got him to agree to a course of statins and beta blockers.
00:09:00He'd also reluctantly accepted that he needed some help here.
00:09:03And who might that be?
00:09:04Libby. Libby Trevor, local horticulturalist.
00:09:07Amazing at what she does and the patience of a saint with Wilf.
00:09:13Do you need to get that?
00:09:14No, it's just the surgery. Chasing.
00:09:21Did anyone not have patience with Wilf?
00:09:23Well, he wasn't the easiest person to be fair.
00:09:26Things got a bit heated yesterday.
00:09:29Ollie Peterson wasn't happy with Wilf's refereeing.
00:09:32Because?
00:09:33I thought he'd won.
00:09:34Wilf's measurements indicated otherwise.
00:09:36Measurements made with callipers, by any chance?
00:09:39Yes.
00:09:40Lucas really kicked off.
00:09:41Accusing us all of cheating.
00:09:44Lucas who?
00:09:45Shaw.
00:09:46Runs Midsummer Mocha.
00:09:47The brand new trendy coffee place.
00:09:49Not everyone's cup of tea.
00:09:51Or coffee.
00:09:53And did Mr Worrell cheat?
00:09:55Not possibly, but Lucas overreacted.
00:09:59He's intense and a bit pushy.
00:10:02Maybe it's all that caffeine.
00:10:04Most of us are open to new ideas, but Wilf, however, wasn't.
00:10:09So when Lucas got a youngster's bowling team together,
00:10:13Wilf resisted their entrance to the club and tried to get them thrown out.
00:10:16For what?
00:10:17Oh, anything.
00:10:19Breaking dress regulation codes, match etiquette rules, breathing, you name it.
00:10:27Why is the bowling club up for sale?
00:10:30Well, our finances are perilous.
00:10:33Membership's fallen off the edge of a cliff.
00:10:35Mainly because people insist on dying.
00:10:39Quite.
00:10:41Archie Pollock's on a roll.
00:10:43Championship winning captain for the last 12 years.
00:10:46I see he also won in 1926.
00:10:49Oh, his grandfather.
00:10:50He comes from a long line of Archies.
00:10:53A load of Pollocks, some might say.
00:10:57Only ever threatened by Captain Curve himself, Teddy Mulcahy.
00:11:02Who's no longer with us, but their rivalry was legendary.
00:11:05Best not mention him in front of Archie.
00:11:07I'll try not to.
00:11:09Jenny Pollock, Chloe Gillan, DS Winter.
00:11:12Guilty as charged.
00:11:14And, er, you are?
00:11:17Er, Libby Trevor, groundswoman.
00:11:20There you go.
00:11:21Sorry, erm, excuse me.
00:11:23Sorry.
00:11:24Look, excuse me, you can't stand there.
00:11:28Can you tell me what you were doing here this morning?
00:11:31I run a sunrise yoga class here twice a week.
00:11:34No.
00:11:35And my mum approved it.
00:11:36She was keen to bring in some extra egg on you.
00:11:38Wolf opposed it, of course.
00:11:40Wasn't happy about us using the green.
00:11:42Wolf wasn't happy about anything.
00:11:44Tanker of a soul goat.
00:11:45Safe to say you're not a fan, then.
00:11:47Oppressive detective skills, DS Winter.
00:11:49The Bowling Green is the only place in the area we can do it.
00:11:51It's perfect, and it's gone down well with the majority of locals.
00:11:54It's because you're insanely brilliant.
00:11:56I mean, personally, I could do without seeing Dale and his downward dog at the crack of dawn twice a week.
00:12:00But, I mean, Jenny's done more for this community than pretty much anyone else.
00:12:0481.
00:12:07Does that number mean anything to you?
00:12:10Someone's age, a house number, perhaps?
00:12:12Not that I know her.
00:12:15Mr. Worrell, did he own a mobile phone?
00:12:18Oh, definitely not.
00:12:19Old school.
00:12:20Dinosaur, more like.
00:12:21Jenny.
00:12:25Are you okay?
00:12:26I just heard it's terrible.
00:12:28I know.
00:12:29Well, let's get you home.
00:12:32Has anyone shown interest in buying the club?
00:12:35Two bids so far.
00:12:36Flash Harry being one of them.
00:12:38Harry Peterson.
00:12:39Architect, property magnate and entrepreneur.
00:12:41Sporty car.
00:12:43Moved to the village a year ago with his son Ollie.
00:12:45The same Ollie who plays bowls.
00:12:47Ollie's sweet, whereas his dad has made no secret of his intention to expand his property empire around here.
00:12:52We figure he'll raise the club to the ground, build some modern monstrosity and sell it for millions.
00:12:57Apparently, Jack and Wil thought otherwise.
00:13:00They were saying yesterday that Harry's bid is dead in the water.
00:13:03Jack?
00:13:04Oh, club accountant.
00:13:06Archie's son.
00:13:07He was here yesterday?
00:13:08Taking photos to promote his wife's yoga studio.
00:13:11I really must make a move if that's okay.
00:13:14Oh, by all means.
00:13:15And who is the other potential buyer you mentioned too?
00:13:18We have absolutely no idea.
00:13:20An anonymous bidder.
00:13:21I think it's fair to say that Mr. Worrell wasn't the most popular person in the village.
00:13:27Indeed.
00:13:28Generational conflict, sporting rivalry, a spat with Lucas Shaw.
00:13:31All soccer on the way to Mr. Worrell's house now.
00:13:34I'll follow.
00:13:35Check his financials and get on to the council.
00:13:37I want to know who's behind this anonymous bid to buy the bowling club.
00:13:40And pay a visit to Lucas Shaw at Midsummer Mocha.
00:13:43Oh, I'd love to.
00:13:44I'm really into my coffee at the moment, sir.
00:13:46I've become a bit of a Java junkie.
00:13:48A what?
00:13:49A roast ranger, sir.
00:13:51Bean aficionado?
00:13:52Well, keep it to yourself, Winter.
00:13:54I'll speak to Jack Pollock, see what he knows.
00:13:57Bye.
00:13:58So, where were you last night then?
00:14:01Never mind me.
00:14:02Where were you?
00:14:03Pub, then boringly tucked in bed with a book.
00:14:06You, you, Dr. Dirty Stop out.
00:14:08Didn't make it home at a notice.
00:14:10Well, for your information, I went back to the surgery
00:14:13to a mountain of paperwork and some midnight oil.
00:14:16Ah, is that what they call it these days?
00:14:18I mean, I believe you.
00:14:19Millions wouldn't.
00:14:20What's not with you home alone, anyway?
00:14:22Well, you're not still holding out for that flash, Harry, are you?
00:14:25Of course not.
00:14:27Maybe a smidge.
00:14:28Come on, he's fine, he's charismatic, bloated.
00:14:31And I got on really well with his son.
00:14:33And, uh, Dale?
00:14:34Oh, please, Mother.
00:14:35He's a glorified man with a van.
00:14:37He's not even a contender.
00:14:39Hi, Harry.
00:14:40Hi, ladies.
00:14:43I mean, seriously.
00:14:45What's not to like?
00:14:47See you later.
00:14:56Wow.
00:14:58Who died?
00:14:59Chloe, can you not?
00:15:01Positivity, please.
00:15:03There's positivity and there's delusion.
00:15:06You've got to admit, Wilf's death on top of already being boycotted by 90% of the locals,
00:15:11it's not a good look.
00:15:13Maybe this place isn't ready for a coffee revolution.
00:15:16We'll just have to work harder, then.
00:15:18Today, Mr. Medeveral.
00:15:20Tomorrow, the world.
00:15:23If you say so, coffee man.
00:15:26I do.
00:15:27I do.
00:15:28I do say so.
00:15:29There's police crawling everywhere.
00:15:32Libby, calm down.
00:15:33Didn't you hear what I said?
00:15:34They're all over the place.
00:15:35What are we going to do?
00:15:36I'll tell you what we're not going to do.
00:15:37We're not going to panic.
00:15:38Right.
00:15:39We're going to stay calm and carry on as planned.
00:15:41Okay?
00:15:42There's police crawling everywhere.
00:15:46Libby, calm down.
00:15:47Didn't you hear what I said?
00:15:49They're all over the place.
00:15:50What are we going to do?
00:15:51I'll tell you what we're not going to do.
00:15:53We're not going to panic.
00:15:54We're going to stay calm and carry on as planned.
00:15:58Okay?
00:16:06Tell me, does the number 81 mean anything to you?
00:16:10Relating to bowls, possibly?
00:16:13No.
00:16:14No, not at all.
00:16:15About the bids to buy the club.
00:16:17I gather you and Mr. Worrell no longer believe that Harry Peterson's bid is a goer.
00:16:24That's correct.
00:16:25I have a friend on the council who told me they'd reject any bid that wanted to build residential property on the land.
00:16:31Which is Mr. Peterson's plan.
00:16:34That's what he does for a living.
00:16:35Look, I was told in confidence, but made the mistake of telling Wilf who wanted to blab it to the world, which could have ruined everything.
00:16:46Does Harry Peterson know about this?
00:16:49Might Mr. Worrell have blabbed about it to him?
00:16:52Very possibly.
00:16:54Wilf was nothing if not a stirrer.
00:16:55I'll need an address for Mr. Peterson if you have it.
00:17:00Sure.
00:17:00And would Mr. Worrell blabbing be annoying for you?
00:17:05Well, it's my own fault, really. I should have known better than to trust him.
00:17:10Can you tell me what you did last night after the game?
00:17:12Well, I've been taking photos of Jenny for her yoga, and then I dropped her home and went to the swan. A few of us did.
00:17:20These photos, were they taken around the club generally?
00:17:23Yeah. All over. Just snaps, really.
00:17:26Might I see them? You might have captured something without knowing it.
00:17:31Sure. I'll send them over to you.
00:17:34Big match tomorrow.
00:17:36The match.
00:17:37Climax of the season.
00:17:39Gone right to the wire.
00:17:40Could be the last championship ever since.
00:17:44Quite a record.
00:17:45Rivaled only by Teddy Mulcahy, I believe.
00:17:48Mulcahy.
00:17:49All mouth and no trousers.
00:17:51A pretender.
00:17:52A mountebank.
00:17:54Which is why I don't plan on letting any of those youths win tomorrow.
00:17:58Versus first, second is nowhere. Isn't that right, Jack?
00:18:01In one, Dad.
00:18:03You'll need a strong referee, I suspect.
00:18:06We will.
00:18:07Bloody selfish of Wilf not to be around, if you ask me.
00:18:09Dad.
00:18:10What?
00:18:12Just saying. You look after the club, I'll sort the bowls.
00:18:18Everything all right, Mr. Pollock?
00:18:20Just a twinge.
00:18:21There's something wrong with you.
00:18:22No, it's fine.
00:18:22No, it's fine.
00:18:22Nothing.
00:18:23Let's go.
00:18:34Let's go.
00:18:34Whatever.
00:18:35Let's go.
00:19:05How did you get on at Mr. Worrell's?
00:19:27Nice cottage, full of antiques, but then he was a dealer.
00:19:32Clearly a successful one. His financials came back.
00:19:34They're all in good shape.
00:19:36Something I suspect that house clearance expert-cum-ambulance chaser Dale McManus might be interested in.
00:19:42Call him snooping around.
00:19:44Check him out.
00:19:45Also, Mr. Worrell had an old-school landline.
00:19:49The last person to call him at five o'clock yesterday was Flash Harry Peterson.
00:19:53Ah, just as well I'm about to meet him.
00:19:55I knocked, but, er...
00:20:07Is your dad here?
00:20:10Said he'd be back soon.
00:20:15You know, if you're a bit of a maths buff, maybe you can help me with something.
00:20:19Is there anything special about the number 81?
00:20:21Nine square, three to the power of four.
00:20:27This is all about bowling?
00:20:29It is.
00:20:29I'm, er...
00:20:30I don't know if you want to predict the part of the bowling ball tech.
00:20:34Accuracy is everything.
00:20:36Unless the ref's cheating.
00:20:37I take it you're referring to Mr. Worrell?
00:20:42Why might he do that, do you think?
00:20:44Pick on some breaking rules.
00:20:46Not let's book practice greens.
00:20:48He really had it in for us.
00:20:50As a result, perhaps someone had it in for him.
00:20:56Can I help?
00:20:56Excuse me.
00:21:15What the hell are those for?
00:21:17Mushroom coffee.
00:21:18It's the next big thing.
00:21:20You can't just pick wild mushrooms, experiment and sell it as coffee.
00:21:24There are rules and regulations.
00:21:26We have to do this properly.
00:21:28We'll never get investment from someone like Harry Peterson.
00:21:31Hi.
00:21:32Hey.
00:21:34DS Winter.
00:21:34Causton CID.
00:21:36What can we get you?
00:21:37How about this one?
00:21:39Parisa.
00:21:40It's a nutty bean responsibly sourced from a cooperative in Nicaragua.
00:21:44Or perhaps you fancy a Brazilian.
00:21:48Yes.
00:21:49Yes.
00:21:50Maybe, um...
00:21:51Maybe in a minute.
00:21:51Um, how...
00:21:53How's the cafe been, um, received so far?
00:21:56Wilf despised us.
00:21:58And, generally speaking, a destination coffee shop isn't exactly top of the village wish list.
00:22:04Most people here are still wedded to powdered instant and a kettle.
00:22:07Same at the bowling club.
00:22:09Their website's like somewhere from the dark ages.
00:22:11Jack did the puzzles.
00:22:12Wilf did the jokes.
00:22:13Everyone a belter.
00:22:14We joined, hoping to encourage some cross-fertilization.
00:22:18No, we're doing okay on the cross bit.
00:22:20Less on the fertilization.
00:22:22How did you get into coffee?
00:22:25Well, I was a barista champion.
00:22:30Um, I worked in cafes all over the world.
00:22:33Uh, Madrid, Ecuador, Guatemala.
00:22:36Got tired of working for other people.
00:22:38And my family are from around here, so...
00:22:40This is my dream.
00:22:42I'll do anything to make it work.
00:22:45What did you do after the game last night?
00:22:47Mr. McManus said, um, something about going to the pub.
00:22:50Yeah, a bunch of us did.
00:22:51I'll need a list.
00:22:52And, uh, one of those.
00:22:55Uh, yeah, yeah, sure.
00:22:59The bright kid, your son?
00:23:01Doesn't get it from me.
00:23:03Really?
00:23:04I heard that you were, uh, a successful architect turned property magnate.
00:23:08I can talk the talk, but I'm no good at maths.
00:23:11Not on Ollie's league, anyway.
00:23:12You know, he's just still a teenager, but he's already been in touch with the European Space Agency about a mentorship scheme they run.
00:23:19Impressive.
00:23:20Is it just the two of you?
00:23:22It is.
00:23:24Money can buy lots of things, but it seems happiness is not one of them.
00:23:28Ollie's mum lives abroad.
00:23:29He misses her, and, uh, well, he retreated into physics, quantum mechanics, and the multiverse.
00:23:38He's become quite introverted.
00:23:40And yet he's a member of the bowling club.
00:23:42Yes.
00:23:43A godsend.
00:23:44When the coffee guys wanted to recruit a youngster, Chloe Gillan took a punt on Ollie, and he hasn't looked back.
00:23:50Swapped one obsession, orbital trajectories in space, for another, Lorne Bowles.
00:23:55Who knew?
00:23:57He loves it.
00:23:57But he didn't love Mr. Worrell, though.
00:24:00No.
00:24:01But, to be honest, it's good for Ollie to meet old duffers like that.
00:24:05Life isn't always fair, and the sooner he learns that, the better.
00:24:08Where were you last night, around six o'clock?
00:24:15I picked Ollie up from the bowling club and then came home.
00:24:18And when did you last talk to Mr. Worrell?
00:24:20Yesterday, on the phone.
00:24:22About?
00:24:24Mainly, he wanted to gloat about how I wasn't going to win the bid.
00:24:27Something about council opposition to residential property.
00:24:30That must have been galling.
00:24:32Not really.
00:24:33He said I was doing anything residential.
00:24:35What are your plans, then?
00:24:37My plans are confidential and, for the moment, academic.
00:24:43With all due respect, I'd prefer to keep it that way, if that's all right.
00:24:47For the time being, yes.
00:24:51Ollie?
00:24:52Everything all right?
00:24:55Teenagers, eh?
00:24:56Hormones and all that.
00:24:58Does your son make a habit of lashing out?
00:25:04Oh, did you get me a coffee?
00:25:06No.
00:25:07No, I'm taste testing.
00:25:08Now, I get gooseberry, but I'm not getting a hint of hibiscus.
00:25:13Tastes like pencil shavings to me.
00:25:15I had no idea you ate pencils.
00:25:17I, um, I checked on Dale McManus, our house clearance expert, and he's had fines for fly-tipping
00:25:23and was once accused of identity theft, but nothing was ever proven.
00:25:26Interesting.
00:25:27Interesting.
00:25:27And also, the council got back to me about an honest bidder.
00:25:30H. Appleby.
00:25:33Well, do some digging.
00:25:34And while you're at it, see if Harry Peterson has been involved in anything non-residential.
00:25:40Hmm, will do.
00:25:40Oh, also, I got you something, sir.
00:25:44It's a steam wand.
00:25:47Milk frother for your coffee.
00:25:49It aerates the milk.
00:25:51Makes it creamier.
00:25:52I'll bear that in mind.
00:26:03Fleur wants a word.
00:26:04Glad you could join.
00:26:13I'm working on the numbers.
00:26:16Do you have any cryptic word games while waiting for lab results, Fleur?
00:26:21You don't get to be head of Causton Cadaver's PubQuiz team without practice.
00:26:28So pay attention.
00:26:29It could be a letters-to-numbers code.
00:26:33A1, B2, and so on.
00:26:35So if it is, A1 would be...
00:26:37H.A.
00:26:39It could be the start of Harry.
00:26:41You're our anonymous bidder, H. Appleby.
00:26:44Whoever they may be.
00:26:48The victim held one of the markers as if he placed him on the ground himself.
00:26:53Was he trying to help identify his killer?
00:26:54That implies Mr. Worrell, after having caliparins thrust into his brain...
00:27:00Had time to think of the idea and execute it before dying.
00:27:04I can check, but I suspect death was instantaneous.
00:27:08It would also imply that the killer left the scene without checking the victim was dead.
00:27:13Impossible, but careless.
00:27:14Okay, so...
00:27:16Alternatively...
00:27:17Well, the killer put the markers on the ground as if Mr. Worrell had done so himself.
00:27:23To point the finger?
00:27:23To someone else.
00:27:25Exactly.
00:27:26There's something odd about these photos.
00:27:30They're numbered JPEGs, but there's quite a few of them missing.
00:27:33Why wouldn't Mr. Pollard just send all of them?
00:27:35Maybe he deleted some as he went.
00:27:36Maybe.
00:27:38In this one, the outhouse door is locked, but it was open at the crime scene.
00:27:44Well, maybe he unlocked it after people left.
00:27:46Yeah, maybe.
00:27:48Well, someone else could have.
00:27:49Apart from Mr. Worrell, who else would have keys?
00:27:51His colleague, Libby Trevor.
00:27:54Ah.
00:27:55A horticulturalist with the patience of a saint.
00:27:58Let's talk to her.
00:27:59Is the yoga meeting good?
00:28:11Yeah.
00:28:11Fab.
00:28:12I'll grab coffees.
00:28:15Hi, Claude.
00:28:17Two lattes, please.
00:28:18Chat with you now, is he?
00:28:20Not Harry?
00:28:21No, the good-looking, very successful, super-minted Harry.
00:28:25No.
00:28:25Why would he be?
00:28:26Good question.
00:28:28Do you know what?
00:28:29Forget the coffees.
00:28:31Let's go.
00:28:32What is it?
00:28:33Nothing.
00:28:37Yeah, Tuesday.
00:28:38Bye.
00:28:39What are you doing here?
00:28:47I have to the emergency appointments.
00:28:48You want to answer in my course?
00:28:50You've been busy.
00:28:51I'm not here.
00:28:52I'm not here.
00:28:52I'll see you later.
00:28:56I don't know.
00:28:57We have to be careful.
00:28:59Do we?
00:29:00Why?
00:29:00Who cares?
00:29:01Well, I do.
00:29:02And Wilf did, didn't he?
00:29:04Well, Wilf's not a problem anymore, is he?
00:29:07Look, um...
00:29:09Maybe we should just leave it, you know?
00:29:12We had our fun.
00:29:13I mean...
00:29:14It's not a big deal, is it?
00:29:16And you are that bit younger than me.
00:29:19What's that got to do with anything?
00:29:22Well, I thought, um...
00:29:25Maybe...
00:29:25Maybe you liked Chloe?
00:29:28Based on...
00:29:30You two flirting earlier.
00:29:32A correction that your daughter flirting.
00:29:34She'll do for England, by the way.
00:29:35Literally anyone.
00:29:36It's...
00:29:38It's absolutely fine, if you do.
00:29:40But if that is the case, then...
00:29:42I'd rather we drew the line now.
00:29:44I'm not into Chloe.
00:29:47Ruth.
00:29:49The last few weeks with you have meant a lot to me.
00:29:53So can I see you tonight?
00:29:55Please?
00:29:58Sure?
00:29:58Sure.
00:29:58Sure.
00:30:06Good afternoon, Miss Trevor.
00:30:24May we come in?
00:30:24Yes.
00:30:26Uh...
00:30:26Sorry about all the plants.
00:30:29They...
00:30:29They calm me.
00:30:31And...
00:30:32I like the scents.
00:30:34Well, personally, I'm getting a rather strong aroma.
00:30:36Vanilla.
00:30:38I don't know what that can be.
00:30:41How did you get on with Mr. Worrell?
00:30:44Well...
00:30:45Um...
00:30:46Yeah, great.
00:30:47He taught me everything I know.
00:30:49And he was like a mentor to me, really.
00:30:51Especially when I first moved into the area.
00:30:54And when was that?
00:30:55Four years ago this summer.
00:30:57I was on my own.
00:30:59I fell in with the bowling brigade.
00:31:01And I wanted to firm that up somehow.
00:31:03So I...
00:31:04I became the groundswoman.
00:31:06I gather that Mr. Worrell could be quite difficult.
00:31:08Wealth?
00:31:10No, not at all.
00:31:11Who told you that?
00:31:13Ruth Gillan said he wasn't the easiest person to work for.
00:31:16But he was great.
00:31:19I mean, working with someone from a different generation has its challenges, right?
00:31:24The, um...
00:31:25The outhouse at the bowling club, I assume you have a set of keys?
00:31:30Yes.
00:31:31Who else has?
00:31:32No one.
00:31:34Just me and Wilf.
00:31:35Why?
00:31:35Because we believe whoever killed him might have had access to the outhouse.
00:31:39Maybe Wilf just left it open?
00:31:41We heard that a number of you went to the Swan last night.
00:31:44Did you all come and go at the same time?
00:31:45Sure.
00:31:46Oh, apart from Dale.
00:31:48Yeah, he left early.
00:31:50Did he now?
00:31:56Dale didn't say anything about leaving the pub early when I asked him.
00:31:59Keep digging.
00:32:00Likewise, Miss Trevor.
00:32:02She's on edge.
00:32:03She's lying about something.
00:32:04She's lying about something.
00:32:34She's lying about something.
00:32:51I don't know.
00:33:21I don't know.
00:33:51I don't know.
00:34:21I don't remember much, to be honest.
00:34:34Well, try and remember if you can, Dad.
00:34:36It's important.
00:34:37I was walking into the living room, and next thing I know, you're all here.
00:34:47Do you recall seeing anyone? Did you notice anything untoward?
00:34:50Just that the painting that was on the wall was missing.
00:34:56Wilf loved that painting.
00:34:57And what exactly were you doing here?
00:35:00Wilf was a good friend. I came to pay my respects.
00:35:03How did you get in?
00:35:05The front door was open.
00:35:07Didn't you think that was odd?
00:35:09No, not really.
00:35:11Wilf could be forgetful.
00:35:12I'm sorry, but I think we need to take Archie to hospital just to get him checked over.
00:35:16Jack?
00:35:17Yeah, yes, I agree.
00:35:18No, no hospital.
00:35:19The paramedic said I'm fine.
00:35:21I just want to go home.
00:35:23I need a good night's sleep before the match.
00:35:24Maybe we should think about cancelling the match, Dad.
00:35:27It's not like you're up against a Teddy McCarney.
00:35:28Never mind him, and don't be such a loser, Jack.
00:35:32Your mother would turn in her grave if I didn't play.
00:35:34Would she, though? Really?
00:35:35Yes, she would, and don't you ever forget it.
00:35:39First is first, and second is nowhere.
00:35:49Which reminds me, Jenny, we'll need a referee for tomorrow.
00:35:53Someone who understands how important it is to get the right result.
00:35:57I'll do my best, but I'm not Wilf.
00:35:59Your father claims to compete in your mother's memory, but you don't think so.
00:36:08He competes to prove he's the man.
00:36:10Got to see off the rivals.
00:36:12Like Teddy Mulcahy?
00:36:14A rival in every sense.
00:36:16Meaning?
00:36:17The whole village knew Teddy carried a torch for Mum.
00:36:21I don't think there was anything in it, but after she'd passed, beating him mattered more than ever.
00:36:26More than being there for his son?
00:36:29I guess.
00:36:42There was no sign of a break-in.
00:36:43The back door was locked, but this door was open.
00:36:46It was when Archie Pollock arrived.
00:36:48It was definitely locked when I was here earlier. I checked.
00:36:50Meaning whoever assaulted Mr. Pollock had a set of keys.
00:36:55Maybe the killer took them from Mr. Worrell at the bowling club.
00:36:59How was this called in?
00:37:01999. No name given.
00:37:02Unusual for a killer to ring 999.
00:37:05Unless whoever did this isn't our killer.
00:37:08Maybe Mr. Pollock just disturbed a burglar stealing a painting.
00:37:12Like, for example, the house clearance expert that was sniffing around the cottage earlier.
00:37:16Speculation winter, but let's pay Mr. McManus a visit.
00:37:21I just want to have a quick look round.
00:37:23Archie Pollock said that he came here to pay his respects.
00:37:26Seems like an odd thing to do.
00:37:27Especially given that when I saw him earlier, he seemed more concerned about his good friend not being able to referee tomorrow than he was about him being dead.
00:37:35So he didn't come here to pay his respects.
00:37:38Then why was he here?
00:37:39No, I can do the job.
00:38:06It's got to be done by tomorrow afternoon.
00:38:07I'm tired up in the morning.
00:38:09Okay.
00:38:10Okay.
00:38:12I'll do it as soon as I can.
00:38:14Deal.
00:38:16I need a word.
00:38:18The quality pieces that you said Wilf Worrell owned, that you were curious about, did that include a painting?
00:38:24Yeah, a few.
00:38:25But one that was definitely worth a few, Bob, yeah.
00:38:27The one in the kitchen?
00:38:29Is that what you were gawping at through the window when I saw you?
00:38:31No.
00:38:32Tell me, if your job is being familiar with objects and their valuations, how much is that painting worth?
00:38:38An auction?
00:38:39Who knows?
00:38:40For insurance purposes, it's got to be in the region of 10k, maybe more.
00:38:43Tempting.
00:38:44And it's just been stolen.
00:38:46And whoever stole it assaulted Archie Pollock.
00:38:48I get it.
00:38:49You think I took the painting and assaulted Archie?
00:38:52If I'd stolen it, would I just tell you it was worth 10k?
00:38:55You might if it was worth more.
00:38:56You'll be my guest in check.
00:38:57I'm sure you will anyway.
00:39:02Anything else?
00:39:03If not, I'd like to go home.
00:39:04There is something else, actually.
00:39:06When I asked you where you were last night, you said you were at the pub.
00:39:09I was.
00:39:10You left early.
00:39:11Where did you go?
00:39:12Home.
00:39:14I was tired.
00:39:16Can I go now?
00:39:17I was tired.
00:39:47Honestly, Jamie, I love it.
00:40:00I was practising all last night,
00:40:02which kept John and I awake,
00:40:04trying to catch up with Betty on the four fours.
00:40:06I think 73's the closest we've come to divorce.
00:40:09Right, what do you think?
00:40:14That's pretty good.
00:40:15Oh, here's Einstein.
00:40:16Oh, morning, sir.
00:40:18Jamie's just been telling me all about grinders and tumpers.
00:40:20Have you now?
00:40:21Well, I hate to interrupt coffee morning winter,
00:40:23but we have work to do.
00:40:25Are you planning a holiday, sir?
00:40:27Uh, research, actually.
00:40:30Something Jack Pollock mentioned about starting a new life.
00:40:34Several developments overnight, sir.
00:40:36Harry Peterson doesn't just do residential.
00:40:38He's a partner in a chain of healthcare centres across Europe.
00:40:41Also, he's trying to buy some woodland on the edge of the village,
00:40:44but the application doesn't say what for.
00:40:46The bowling club and woodland.
00:40:48He clearly wants to make his mark.
00:40:50As for the other bidder,
00:40:51H is for Holly Appleby,
00:40:53and she's proving quite elusive.
00:40:54All I can find is a P.O. box in Midsummer Parva.
00:40:57Find out when she got the P.O. box.
00:40:59Yeah, we'll do so.
00:41:00Also, there was a message on Wilford's answer machine
00:41:03that you need to hear.
00:41:04It was left by Dale McManus two days ago.
00:41:07I'll keep this brief.
00:41:09I'm sick of it, and I've told you loads.
00:41:10Back off roof.
00:41:11You're a dead man.
00:41:14Prophetic, to say the least.
00:41:23Get him, Tiger.
00:41:25And, Ollie, if you don't win, it's okay, right?
00:41:28I heard about the assault.
00:41:47Are you okay?
00:41:49Perfectly fine.
00:41:50Thanks to you.
00:41:51Thanks to you.
00:41:58Enjoyed last night?
00:42:00Me too.
00:42:02No, I'm tired of hiding.
00:42:04Not that gun.
00:42:06I had a fault this morning.
00:42:08We'll just go somewhere else.
00:42:10Start fresh.
00:42:12I'm serious.
00:42:14Are you playing games with me?
00:42:15No.
00:42:18After this, I've got a job to do,
00:42:20then I'm free.
00:42:23What do you say?
00:42:24What are we waiting for?
00:42:25Oi!
00:42:26Dale!
00:42:27Chop, chop!
00:42:28You need to get your eye in.
00:42:30Archie Mae.
00:42:32How's the head?
00:42:32All right.
00:42:36Check with Jack Pollock about the rest of the pictures he took.
00:42:39The ones he didn't send us.
00:42:41Yeah, will do, sir.
00:42:47Everything all right?
00:42:48Oh, just worried about Archie, that's all.
00:42:51Tell me, how far do you think he'd go to win today?
00:42:54Oh, as far as needs be.
00:42:57That's what worries me.
00:42:59The medication you prescribed for Mr. Worrell, you mentioned statins and beta blockers.
00:43:05Yeah, that's right.
00:43:06If someone else took them, would they, for example, help with an arm tremor?
00:43:10Hmm.
00:43:11Then they might, although taking someone else's medication is dangerous.
00:43:18And illegal.
00:43:22Oh.
00:43:24Their score, refereeing duties to attend to.
00:43:26Yeah, I'll break a leg.
00:43:28Actually, Jenny.
00:43:28Sorry.
00:43:35Nothing.
00:43:40Ah, Mr. Pollock.
00:43:41Now, those files that you sent us, some of them are missing.
00:43:44Were they?
00:43:45Well, I might have deleted some.
00:43:47Sure, but we'd still like to retrieve them if we can.
00:43:48Okay, can I get them to you later?
00:43:50We can do it now.
00:43:51Just, um, air drop them to me.
00:43:52Yeah, I'm not sure I know how to do that.
00:43:57Back as soon.
00:43:57Have you taken world's meds?
00:44:17Apart from being incredibly irresponsible, you do know that's essentially done.
00:44:21You should have given me a prescription, then.
00:44:23I have my reputation to think of.
00:44:24So do I, and mine's worth more than yours.
00:44:27Especially since Wilf told me all about you and Dale.
00:44:31Right.
00:44:32Dale.
00:44:52Heads.
00:44:53All these orbitals, you get to choose ends.
00:44:59We'll do east-west, please.
00:45:01Better lie the land.
00:45:02It'll take more than that.
00:45:04Archie, your Bulls Whisperers gets to choose who stars.
00:45:08They can.
00:45:09Right, let's get ready.
00:45:10Oh, my gosh.
00:45:26Oh, my gosh.
00:46:05You were right to check the photos, by the way.
00:46:24The ones that Jack Pollock didn't manage to send us all have one striking thing in common.
00:46:29They all show Archie Pollock arguing with Will Forrell.
00:46:33Yeah. The question is, what about?
00:46:38Let's speak to our bowling legend as soon as this match ends.
00:46:41We're on the deciding end now.
00:46:42Nice.
00:46:46We're on the deciding end now.
00:46:50We're on the deciding end now.
00:48:10Over to you, Jenny.
00:48:18And the winner is...
00:48:33Oli...
00:48:34Yes!
00:48:35Yes!
00:48:36Yes!
00:48:37Yes!
00:48:38Absolutely!
00:48:39Absolutely!
00:48:40Ice cold!
00:48:42Come on!
00:48:43She has this!
00:48:46Oh, boy!
00:48:47Here he comes.
00:48:48What was I meant to do?
00:48:49Look, you did the right thing.
00:48:50You are no daughter-in-law of mine!
00:48:53Don't know why you married her.
00:48:55Don't know why you married her.
00:48:56Can you speak to Archie Pollock?
00:48:57I'll talk to Dale McManus.
00:48:58I will do.
00:48:59Will they?
00:49:00I'll talk to Dale McManus.
00:49:01I will do.
00:49:02Will they?
00:49:03Will they?
00:49:04Oh, yes.
00:49:05That's good.
00:49:06Lovely.
00:49:07You speak to Archie Pollock, and I'll talk to Dale McManus.
00:49:10I will do.
00:49:11Will they?
00:49:12I will do.
00:49:13Will they?
00:49:14Ready?
00:49:15Oh, yes.
00:49:16That's good.
00:49:17Lovely.
00:49:18Where is Mr. Pollock Senior?
00:49:19He stormed off.
00:49:20Not out front, he didn't.
00:49:21There was a back exit.
00:49:22I think he wanted to avoid people.
00:49:25I'm sorry.
00:49:26I'm sorry.
00:49:27I'm sorry.
00:49:28I'm sorry.
00:49:29I'm sorry.
00:49:30I'm sorry.
00:49:31I'm sorry.
00:49:32I'm sorry.
00:49:33I'm sorry.
00:49:34I'm sorry.
00:49:35I'm sorry.
00:49:36I'm sorry.
00:49:37I'm sorry.
00:49:38I'm sorry.
00:49:39I'm sorry.
00:49:40I'm sorry.
00:49:41I'm sorry.
00:49:42I'm sorry.
00:49:43I'm sorry.
00:49:44He's eating.
00:49:45Oh, no.
00:49:46I'm sorry.
00:49:47I'm sorry.
00:49:48I'm sorry.
00:49:48I 단 Joelis so loved him, but...
00:49:52I don't know.
00:50:22I don't know.
00:50:52I don't know.
00:51:23I'm guessing you're familiar with the identity of the bookman.
00:51:27I am.
00:51:29Dale McManus.
00:51:30Was it an accident?
00:51:33Hard to be sure, but we're checking the crane cabin for prints.
00:51:37I'll need to confirm that preliminary indications suggest cause of death was a combination of blunt trauma to the head and compression of the chest area, leading to pneumothorax.
00:51:49Not pleasant.
00:51:54Notice anything missing?
00:51:55It's Van.
00:51:56Perhaps the killer took it.
00:51:58I'll put a marker on its circulator trace.
00:52:01What we do have, though, about 30 metres over there, is a large collection of white goods.
00:52:05Fridge freezer, washing machine, the whole lot.
00:52:07Fly tipping.
00:52:08Mr. Peterson.
00:52:19It was you who found Dale McManus's body, is that right?
00:52:21Yes, that's right.
00:52:22Well, just passing, were you?
00:52:24So soon, after your son's finest hour at the bowling club, seems a bit strange.
00:52:28I'm interested in buying that plot of woodland.
00:52:30I go there sometimes to think over my potential investment.
00:52:33And you just happened across Mr. McManus's body?
00:52:37That's correct, yes.
00:52:38Mr. Peterson, we can confiscate your phone and your computer and find out the real reason you went there.
00:52:44Or you could save us some time and just tell us the truth.
00:52:51I was due to meet Jenny Pollock.
00:52:54I'm thinking of building a yoga centre there that she might run.
00:52:58That's very generous of you.
00:53:00Not at all.
00:53:00I'm a businessman.
00:53:01She's very good at what she does.
00:53:02It would be a sound investment.
00:53:05I see.
00:53:06Did Mr. McManus have anything to do with this plan?
00:53:09No, nothing at all.
00:53:10I was late getting there after celebrating with Ollie.
00:53:13And when I arrived, he was just lying there.
00:53:17So if you went to meet Mrs. Pollock, why wasn't she there?
00:53:20I don't know.
00:53:22She texted me to meet her there straight after the final.
00:53:25I didn't send a text to Hardy.
00:53:27Mr. Peterson definitely received one.
00:53:29We saw it.
00:53:32No text.
00:53:36But you could have deleted it.
00:53:38I didn't.
00:53:39Then someone else must have.
00:53:40Who else would have had access to your phone?
00:53:43Presumably you have a passcode.
00:53:45One, two, three, four.
00:53:47Guessable.
00:53:47But anyway, I always have my phone on me.
00:53:50The text was sent at 11.24, which is around the time the bowling final was due to start.
00:53:55Did you have your phone on you then?
00:53:57Actually, no.
00:53:59It was in my bag, which I left in the outhouse.
00:54:01So it could have been accessed there by anyone at the bowling match?
00:54:06Yeah, I suppose.
00:54:07This business venture you might be embarking on with Harry Peterson, is it public knowledge?
00:54:12What business venture?
00:54:13I think that answers my question.
00:54:15It's nothing, Jack.
00:54:16Really.
00:54:18Harry's thinking of buying some land and setting up a yoga centre.
00:54:21He has some experience in that area.
00:54:23Healthcare centres across Europe, etc.
00:54:26Exactly.
00:54:26What's that got to do with you?
00:54:28He asked me if I wanted to run it.
00:54:30What?
00:54:30And you didn't tell me because...
00:54:32Because there's nothing to tell.
00:54:34Look, I'm not going to do it.
00:54:36I don't want to get into business with Harry.
00:54:37It's a non-starter.
00:54:41Mr Pollock, the photographs that you didn't send us to begin with showed your father and
00:54:47Mr Worrell arguing.
00:54:49Do you know what about?
00:54:50No, I don't.
00:54:51Was not sending us the photos just an oversight?
00:54:54Or did you think they might implicate your father?
00:55:00I was trying to protect him.
00:55:02Because you think he might have killed Mr Worrell?
00:55:04No, of course not.
00:55:05I just...
00:55:05I was worried, I guess.
00:55:07I knew it didn't look good.
00:55:10I know what they were arguing about.
00:55:14Archie told me about it last night as part of trying to get me to cheat on his behalf.
00:55:19He asked Wilf if he could have some of his meds to Cammy's arm.
00:55:23Wilf said no.
00:55:24So, Mr Pollock stole them after Mr Worrell was killed.
00:55:29Where is your father now?
00:55:31He refuses to be under the seam roof as me.
00:55:33He's out walking.
00:55:34He'll be back soon.
00:55:35He'll calm down.
00:55:41Archie Pollock isn't going to calm down anytime soon.
00:55:44Winning the bulls meant too much to him.
00:55:46Something to do with unresolved grief about the death of his wife.
00:55:50What do you make of Mr and Mrs Pollock?
00:55:52I'm not sure.
00:55:52If it's just about a yoga centre, they don't see why Mrs Pollock didn't just tell her husband.
00:55:56Well, maybe she knew he'd be suspicious.
00:55:58I mean, she could be lying to cover her tracks.
00:56:01What about Harry Peterson?
00:56:02Well, we can't rule him out.
00:56:03He wouldn't be the first murderer to pretend to have found the body.
00:56:06We can't rule out Archie Pollock either.
00:56:08Keep digging on the Pollock family.
00:56:10Your finances, background, everything.
00:56:12Yeah, we'll do.
00:56:13Do you know what Dale was planning on doing after the final?
00:56:15Um, he said he had a job to do, that's all.
00:56:18We needed to talk to him about a message he left on Mr Worrell's answer machine.
00:56:22You were mentioned in that message.
00:56:24We need to know what it was about.
00:56:28What is it, Mum?
00:56:29Dale and I were seeing each other.
00:56:33What?
00:56:35So that's where you were two nights ago?
00:56:38The night Mr Worrell was killed?
00:56:39Yes, me and Dale met up.
00:56:42That would explain why you left the pub early.
00:56:45Why not just say?
00:56:48You could have told me.
00:56:49No, I couldn't.
00:56:50I didn't want it to be public knowledge.
00:56:53Why was that?
00:56:54Chloe's dad ran off with a younger woman.
00:56:58And I was very publicly humiliated and devastated.
00:57:02And even more publicly, a vocal opponent to inappropriately aged relationships.
00:57:10Dale was hardly a babe in arms.
00:57:12He was in his thirties.
00:57:14I'm in my fifties.
00:57:16But also, I just, I didn't want my private life to be the talk of the village again.
00:57:21I hated that.
00:57:23So I wasn't comfortable going public until I was completely sure about Dale.
00:57:29And were you?
00:57:30Yes, I was now.
00:57:35But when Mr Worrell found out about you two, he threatened to blap.
00:57:39Oh, and some.
00:57:41Wilf was old school.
00:57:43Disapproved.
00:57:44Loved having something over us.
00:57:46Famous for it.
00:57:47Radio Wilf, we called him.
00:57:49And no secret was safe.
00:57:50He loved seeing my discomfort, reveled in it.
00:57:53He said the only thing he enjoyed more than dealing antiques was dealing in secrets.
00:57:57And Dale?
00:57:58Dale?
00:58:00Lovable hothead that he was.
00:58:04Hated seeing me being manipulated.
00:58:06So he left a message telling Wilf to keep quiet.
00:58:10His wording was quite severe.
00:58:14That was just Dale being protective.
00:58:16He went in a bit heavy.
00:58:18Didn't mean anything by it.
00:58:21He didn't kill him, if that's what you're thinking.
00:58:23I don't know what you're so worried about, Mum.
00:58:26Not the only one around here misbehaving.
00:58:28Why, um, who else is?
00:58:30Well, Harry and Jenny, for starters.
00:58:34Saw them having a lover's tiff out in the woods.
00:58:36They say that they were discussing a joint business venture.
00:58:39Believe me, what I saw was no business talk.
00:58:42I'm surprised.
00:58:43I thought she'd seen him off.
00:58:44Seen him off?
00:58:45In what way?
00:58:46Well, when Harry moved in, he made no secret of the fact that he was attracted to Jenny.
00:58:51It was the talk of the village.
00:58:52Like Jack's mum and Teddy Mokahi all over again.
00:58:55Jenny fobbed him off.
00:58:57At least we thought she did.
00:58:59Something Mr. Peterson said, money can't buy happiness.
00:59:05Maybe he was talking about Jenny.
00:59:07How did Jack Pollock handle all this?
00:59:09Jack's Jack.
00:59:10He just lets these things roll over him.
00:59:13Sir, news on our anonymous second bidder, Holly Appleby.
00:59:42She started the P.O. box four years ago.
00:59:46There's a lot of falls in the ether at the moment.
00:59:48The 4-4 challenge.
00:59:50Four years, Holly Appleby has had her P.O. box.
00:59:53And it's four years since Libby Trevor moved to the area.
00:59:57Before that, Holly Appleby lived in Asperntallow.
01:00:00She went through a messy divorce.
01:00:01Ended up in the courts.
01:00:02But why open a P.O. box?
01:00:04To protect her anonymity when she moved on, perhaps.
01:00:07Interestingly, Libby Trevor said she moved here on her own.
01:00:11Hmm.
01:00:12Thinking that maybe Holly Appleby changed her name to Libby Trevor.
01:00:15Possibly.
01:00:16But why wouldn't Assistant Groundswoman put in a bid to buy the bowling club?
01:00:19Because she loves her job.
01:00:22Well, you say that.
01:00:23But if that's the case, what are all these bowling balls still doing out here?
01:00:26Why wouldn't Libby Trevor put them away after the final?
01:00:30Unless she left in a hurry.
01:00:31Busy?
01:00:49Oh, er, what?
01:00:50No, I was just sorting.
01:00:53Mind if we take a look in the greenhouse?
01:00:54Yes.
01:00:59Hmm.
01:01:01Vanilla.
01:01:06That's not earth on your hands, is it?
01:01:09It's vanilla-scented coffee.
01:01:11And this is the real Midsummer Mocha.
01:01:15Time to come clean, Holly.
01:01:17It is Holly, isn't it?
01:01:42Hello?
01:01:44Dale!
01:01:44Is that you?
01:02:08Cheers, mate.
01:02:09Hey, which one do you want to try this time?
01:02:16Something authentic would be good.
01:02:18Okay.
01:02:19Er, what can I hit you with?
01:02:21Er, Colombian?
01:02:22Guatemalan?
01:02:23Actually, you can hit me with the truth.
01:02:25And fill me in about Dale McManus blackmailing you.
01:02:29Or I can introduce you to the Causton CID coffee machine,
01:02:32which is about as authentic as you are.
01:02:34My marriage was abusive.
01:02:47But I finally got out of it, and I started over in Midsummer, Deverell.
01:02:52Changing your name and trying to make sure your ex couldn't track you down.
01:02:56Libby started out as Liberty.
01:03:01A sign of my new freedom.
01:03:02All I wanted to do was belong, and I thought that the bowling club would do that.
01:03:12But Mr. Worrell made it difficult.
01:03:14Wolf was a bully.
01:03:16Which wasn't good for me, because it reminded me of...
01:03:19Of what I had fought so hard to escape from.
01:03:29Earlier, you were very complimentary about Mr. Worrell.
01:03:32You said he was like a mentor to you.
01:03:34Why lie?
01:03:35I'm sorry.
01:03:36I guess...
01:03:37I guess I didn't want to speak ill of the dead.
01:03:39I didn't want to have to admit all this.
01:03:46How did you become involved with Midsummer Mocker?
01:03:49I liked Lucas's dream.
01:03:53And I was trying to figure out how to do something positive
01:03:56with a property that I owned in Aspen Tallow.
01:03:59I thought that if I sold it, I could use the proceeds as collateral.
01:04:05To join forces and help to buy the bowling club.
01:04:08That was the theory.
01:04:12But in practice, it's proving kind of different.
01:04:17That's the thing with dreams.
01:04:20They don't always come true.
01:04:24With Libby's backing, the plan is to turn the bowling club into a coffee emporium.
01:04:28With an outside space for coffee events and music gigs.
01:04:31Emporium.
01:04:32You've hardly won over the hearts of mine so far.
01:04:35We just need time.
01:04:36You can make the best coffee in the world.
01:04:39Source the best growers.
01:04:40Use the finest beans.
01:04:42But if you don't have anyone to drink it.
01:04:45We've seen your setup in Libby's greenhouse.
01:04:49Everything here is fake.
01:04:51We just needed to reduce costs in order to survive.
01:04:55Until things take off.
01:04:56By importing the cheapest beans that you can find.
01:04:59Probably not ethically sourced.
01:05:00And roasting them yourself.
01:05:02It's not going to be forever.
01:05:03And you assume that no one will find out.
01:05:07But Dale McManus did.
01:05:09I've accessed his emails.
01:05:11He found out what you and Libby are up to and he's been trying to extort money from you.
01:05:14Money I haven't got.
01:05:16You might if you broke into Wilf Warrell's house and stole a painting.
01:05:21Did Wilf find out your little secret too?
01:05:24What?
01:05:25No.
01:05:25Look, I didn't like Wilf.
01:05:28Wilf didn't like me.
01:05:29But I didn't steal any painting.
01:05:31What do you think I am?
01:05:32A fraud.
01:05:34Someone desperate to keep their dream alive.
01:05:38Dale McManus was found dead earlier today.
01:05:41I swear I don't know anything about that.
01:05:52Lucas Shaw?
01:05:53He's admitted fraud.
01:05:55But he's adamant that he didn't kill anyone.
01:05:56And I think he's telling the truth.
01:05:58He's misguided, but he isn't a killer.
01:06:00What about Libby Trevor?
01:06:01I don't think she's killed anyone either.
01:06:04So who did kill Dale McManus?
01:06:06And why?
01:06:07I wonder if we might be taking Mr. McManus' death too much at face value.
01:06:13Meaning?
01:06:14We know that Harry Peterson received a text message from someone wanting to meet him in the woods.
01:06:21But he was delayed by the match celebrations with his son.
01:06:26So what if Mr. McManus in the woods to dump white goods was just in the wrong place at the wrong time?
01:06:32Harry Peterson was the real target.
01:06:34Indeed.
01:06:35How are we doing with the Pollock family background?
01:06:39Financials are interesting.
01:06:41Accounts are all in order.
01:06:43But you were right to look into the Turks and Caicos.
01:06:45Some years ago Jack Pollock lost a whole pile of money in an investment there.
01:06:49Apart from that, everything's above board.
01:06:53Interestingly though, he did the accounts of Teddy Mulcahy.
01:06:57His father's nemesis.
01:07:00And presumably historic accounts, given that Mr. Mulcahy has been dead for years.
01:07:03I guess.
01:07:05I'll check.
01:07:08Mr. Pollock, how can I help?
01:07:14We're on our way.
01:07:17Jack Pollock.
01:07:19He says his father's been kidnapped.
01:07:21Any further word?
01:07:29Anonymous email demanding a quarter of a million pounds as a ransom.
01:07:33We'll try and trace the sender.
01:07:35Four hours to find that money.
01:07:36How am I going to do that?
01:07:37You're not.
01:07:37We don't recommend giving in to ransom demands.
01:07:40And this seems more like an act of financial desperation than anything else.
01:07:43It's easy for you to say.
01:07:44It's not your father whose life's in danger.
01:07:45If I had the money, I'd hand it over right this second.
01:07:47Can we borrow against the house?
01:07:49I've already spoken to the bank.
01:07:50There isn't the time.
01:07:50We don't have that kind of money.
01:07:52Maybe we could call him local support.
01:07:53We'd never raise enough.
01:07:55What about Hardy?
01:07:56I could ask him.
01:07:58We could ask him.
01:07:59Thanks.
01:08:00Uniform have triangulated the signal and found your father's phone.
01:08:03It's roadside on a country lane.
01:08:05We'll head over there.
01:08:06In the meantime, please don't do anything without talking to us.
01:08:09I doubt there's much in the way of road cameras here.
01:08:21There might be one at the junction where the road meets the village.
01:08:23Get tech onto it urgently.
01:08:31One mobile phone and one discarded bowling ball.
01:08:36Is that blood?
01:08:37Actually, it's coffee.
01:08:38If it's still wet, we could get Winton to do a taste test.
01:08:42Already done it.
01:08:43We'll do a GC-MS test in the lab to make sure, but I did the old PTT.
01:08:50Pipette tongue taste.
01:08:52My guess would be powdered instant.
01:08:55I can't just sit here and do nothing.
01:09:12Dad's out there somewhere.
01:09:18It's all my fault.
01:09:19Look, I don't like the idea, but I think we have to do what you suggested.
01:09:26Ask Harry.
01:09:28What about the police?
01:09:29What about them?
01:09:30What about them?
01:09:40Harry.
01:09:41It's me.
01:09:42What's the connection between the murders and the kidnappers?
01:09:51Money.
01:09:52Someone is desperate for it.
01:09:54They stole a valuable painting from Mr. Worrell, and now they want a quarter of a million pounds
01:09:58for the return of Archie Pollock.
01:10:01Why?
01:10:01Greed?
01:10:02A debt, more like.
01:10:03I think someone got into trouble and made the mistake of asking Mr. Worrell, who you
01:10:07said had money, to borrow some.
01:10:10Mr. Worrell said no, because he's an old curmudgeon.
01:10:12Who likes nothing better than dealing in other people's secrets.
01:10:15He threatens to tell the world, and so needs to be silenced.
01:10:20You know, what's really bugging me about these photos is that they're not shots of Jenny Pollock
01:10:27with Archie and Wilf in the background.
01:10:29The two men are the main subject of the picture.
01:10:33Meaning that Jack Pollock was curious about the argument, which was just about meds.
01:10:37He said he didn't know what it was about, but maybe he thought they were arguing about
01:10:41something else.
01:10:42Well, we checked out Teddy Mulcahy's accounts, and interestingly, so is the taxman.
01:10:48Heavily in debt and still active, pending imminent investigation.
01:10:52So the financial clock is ticking and the net closing in.
01:10:55Who would know how to keep a dead man's accounts alive?
01:11:01Jack Pollock would.
01:11:03He hasn't kidnapped his own father, has he?
01:11:07Winter.
01:11:10Ah, okay.
01:11:12Yeah, thanks.
01:11:13Patrol have sighted Dale McManus's van in a field next to the woods.
01:11:17Let's go.
01:11:25What are you doing here?
01:11:29I could ask you the same question.
01:11:31I asked you not to do anything without talking to us.
01:11:33You don't understand.
01:11:34They said to come alone.
01:11:37To, uh, use Harry's phone to transfer the money.
01:11:39Then and only then would Dad be released.
01:11:41We need to do what they say.
01:11:43Transfer the money.
01:11:44Don't.
01:11:46Mulcahy, quick, quick!
01:11:47The time's running out!
01:11:49It is kidnappers because there was no kidnapping, was there?
01:11:52Someone tell me what the hell is going on.
01:11:54Mr. Pollock has faked his father's kidnapping.
01:11:57Jenny, what...
01:11:58What's going on?
01:12:00What are you doing here?
01:12:00I need to know what's happening.
01:12:02Mr. Pollock here, one failed Turks and Caicos investment behind him,
01:12:06needed to do something.
01:12:09Prove himself to his father and provide for his wife.
01:12:12Was Mr. Peterson's arrival in the village the trigger,
01:12:15the dashing international businessman you couldn't compete?
01:12:19Well, you tried to, by making investments under a false name,
01:12:22your father's nemesis, Teddy Mulcahy.
01:12:24Was that some kind of private joke to get at your father?
01:12:27Why?
01:12:31Because he wasn't there for me.
01:12:33He was never there.
01:12:34After Mum died, he was too obsessed with his stupid bowling!
01:12:39So when your fake investments went wrong with the tax man looming,
01:12:44you asked Wilf Worrell to bail you out.
01:12:48What a mistake that was.
01:12:50He said no and started lording it over me.
01:12:52Which explains the photos.
01:12:53You were never worried how those photos looked for your father.
01:12:57I saw Wilf having words with Dad.
01:12:59I thought he was telling him about me.
01:13:01And I needed to know for sure.
01:13:02That's why I went back, but he wasn't, but that just made things worse.
01:13:05So you needed to silence him.
01:13:07And knowing where Mr. Worrell kept the keys, you went to the outhouse.
01:13:12You killed him.
01:13:13And then tried to point the finger at your nemesis, Harry.
01:13:17You thought H.A. might be enough.
01:13:19I wasn't thinking straight.
01:13:20I needed money fast.
01:13:22So you stole a painting, accidentally assaulting your father in the process.
01:13:26And then you decide to target Harry direct.
01:13:29You used Jenny's phone to lure him to the woods only.
01:13:33That doesn't work either.
01:13:34Harry's delayed and you kill an innocent man.
01:13:36I didn't mean to kill Dale.
01:13:39He was the wrong man in the wrong place.
01:13:42You're panicked.
01:13:44You're lost.
01:13:45And then it hits you.
01:13:48The solution to everything.
01:13:49Pretend to kidnap your father.
01:13:52Demand a ransom that will clear your debts once and for all.
01:13:55Knowing that your wife would turn to Harry to pay for it.
01:13:58Before he's killed by kidnappers.
01:14:00Otherwise known as you.
01:14:03Jack?
01:14:03It should have been him.
01:14:07Stay back.
01:14:09Or I'll kill him.
01:14:10Put the knife down, Jack.
01:14:13It won't help.
01:14:14I'm so close.
01:14:15To sailing off into the sunset?
01:14:16I wanted us to be happy.
01:14:21I wanted us to be together.
01:14:24I am.
01:14:25We are.
01:14:27No, no.
01:14:28You're having an affair.
01:14:29I'm not.
01:14:31I've seen all your messages.
01:14:33I've seen you.
01:14:34Your secret meetings.
01:14:35The fear of being caught.
01:14:37Because I didn't want you to think this.
01:14:40Right.
01:14:42You're going to run off with him.
01:14:44And live happily ever after.
01:14:45And you know what?
01:14:46I don't blame you.
01:14:48Because I can't compete with him.
01:14:51Look at me.
01:14:53Look at me.
01:14:54And tell me you weren't tempted.
01:14:55Okay, I was.
01:14:58I didn't give in to it.
01:15:01But I stayed true.
01:15:04Because I love you.
01:15:11It's true.
01:15:13She loves you, not me.
01:15:15What have you done, Jack?
01:15:17Your wife doesn't cheat.
01:15:19You just believe the gossip.
01:15:21I was a laughingstock.
01:15:23You're not.
01:15:25Nothing happened.
01:15:28I wanted it to.
01:15:29But Jenny refused.
01:15:31Even when I just wanted to invest in her with a yoga center.
01:15:34She refused that too.
01:15:35She thought it would be inappropriate.
01:15:36You had the dream already.
01:15:42You were living it.
01:15:52Oh, God.
01:16:06I'm sorry, Dad.
01:16:22Selma.
01:16:29Oh, come on.
01:16:29Everybody wants to see the trophy.
01:16:31I give you the 4x4 Maths Challenge Champion.
01:16:34Yay!
01:16:35And it was all her own work.
01:16:38It was, actually.
01:16:39We were rubbish.
01:16:40Together we have a new challenge.
01:16:42Yeah, we do indeed.
01:16:44A bowling match.
01:16:45These were my grandfather's pride and joy.
01:16:49Oh, and we also have to honour Harry Peterson's successful bid to buy the Midsummer Deverell Bowling Club.
01:16:53He plans to modernise it and keep it as a bowling club for his son to play at.
01:16:57Very good.
01:16:58They had names for their teams, didn't they?
01:17:01They did.
01:17:01There's Archie's Bowls Whisperers and Ollie's Orbitals, and I've been giving some thought to a name for us, and in every sense you can't beat Barnaby's Bowling Bevies.
01:17:13You're comparing me to a drink.
01:17:14It's something else I'm very fond of.
01:17:16I thought of Fleur Power, or the Flying Fleurs, but I'll leave it to Jamie.
01:17:25Winter Milan.
01:17:26Oh, come on.
01:17:38Oh, come on.
01:17:39Oh, yeah.
01:17:45Oh, yeah.
01:17:45Oh, yeah.
01:17:55Oh, I think we did it.
01:18:05Oh, well.
01:18:07I think the clear winner is...
01:18:10Hang on.
01:18:13That's cheating.
01:18:15Of course it's not.
01:18:17It's a bowl, isn't it?
01:18:18Oh, no.
01:18:19Oh, oh, oh.
01:18:22Oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:18:23Oh, oh, oh.
01:18:25Oh, oh, oh, oh.
