00:00:00Yes!
00:00:30So stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Archie.
00:00:41Need I remind you, Miss Gillen, this is a no-smoking club?
00:00:45Apologies for my daughter, Wilf.
00:00:47She gets the attitude from her father.
00:00:49That's why I divorced him.
00:00:50That and the fact you ran off with your hairdresser.
00:00:53Which was devastating.
00:00:55Best hairdresser I ever had, excuse me.
00:01:00That's good.
00:01:09Yeah, that's great.
00:01:10And then the players in the back, maybe with the gun.
00:01:13Come a bit this way.
00:01:15Okay.
00:01:15Oh, it's okay.
00:01:16Just, yeah, that's nice.
00:01:17Is that okay?
00:01:18Yeah, that's great.
00:01:19It's great.
00:01:19Just smile a bit.
00:01:20Love.
00:01:21Do that.
00:01:22Oh, I'm so, I'm so sorry.
00:01:30Excuse me, I'll just, sorry, sorry.
00:01:38All right, Jenny, just relax.
00:01:40Oh, okay.
00:01:40Just for the club.
00:01:41Okay, all right, let's just get it over with.
00:01:42Yeah, all right.
00:01:43That is great.
00:01:45You can polish your bowls all you like, Dale, but you'll know you're a marblesman, didn't you?
00:01:50Aren't you, mate?
00:01:51Show these amateurs how it's done.
00:01:52My pleasure.
00:02:02Oh, tension getting to you, isn't it?
00:02:06Never.
00:02:11My beauty.
00:02:15Nice one.
00:02:17Monster 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.
00:02:37What?
00:02:38No way, are you joking?
00:02:39Fix.
00:02:40They never lie.
00:02:42Chloe, you know the membership rules as well as the rest of us.
00:02:45Referee's decision is final.
00:02:46Yeah, but my ball is closer.
00:02:48Well, he's right.
00:02:49Just a bunch of cheats.
00:02:50I'm sick of this farce.
00:02:51Are you going to let him get away with this, Ruth?
00:02:52Leave the towel, mate.
00:02:54Ban him, Ruth.
00:02:54Ban 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.
00:03:03All right, champ.
00:03:29Bunch of losers, that one.
00:03:33Lovely evening for it.
00:03:34I'm going to let him get away with this.
00:03:36I'm going to let him get away with this, Ruth.
00:03:38I'm going to let him get away with this.
00:03:40I'm going to let him get away with this.
00:03:41I'm going to let him get away with this.
00:03:42I'm going to let him get away with this.
00:03:43I'm going to let him get away with this.
00:03:43I'm going to let him get away with this.
00:03:44I'm going to let him get away with this.
00:03:45I'm going to let him get away with this.
00:03:46I'm going to let him get away with this.
00:03:47I'm going to let him get away with this.
00:03:48I'm going to let him get away with this.
00:03:49I'm going to let him get away with this.
00:03:51I'm going to let him get away with this.
00:03:52I'm going to let him get away with this.
00:03:53Oh, my God.
00:04:23Oh, my God.
00:04:53Oh, my God.
00:05:23Oh, my God.
00:05:53Um, now, 4 times 4 equals 16 plus 4 is 20 minus the square root of 4, which is 2, equals 18.
00:06:03Well done, darling.
00:06:05Ah, the 4-4 math challenge.
00:06:07Remember it well.
00:06:0819?
00:06:08Oh, I think we've got to get to work, haven't we, Winter?
00:06:13Er, yes, we do, sir.
00:06:14Oh, sorry, Tarthel.
00:06:16Get me Jack.
00:06:214 factorial, 24, minus 4, minus 4 over 4, 19.
00:06:25She knows Betty's actually up to 53, but John's more likely to let her stay up late tonight if he feels like he's out.
00:06:33That'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.
00:06:38Yeah.
00:06:39She'll be down.
00:06:40Victim is Wilfred Wilf Worrell, 80, widower, retired, antiques dealer, and grounds...
00:07:10I haven't really understood the fascination with bowls.
00:07:12Really, I love a bit of bowling.
00:07:14I just play my granddad all the time.
00:07:16You know, it dates back to the 13th century.
00:07:18It's surprisingly skilled.
00:07:19It's all in the wrist action.
00:07:22Right.
00:07:36Great.
00:07:38All numbers.
00:07:39Morning, Fleur.
00:07:40Morning.
00:07:41Quite a mouthful.
00:07:44Was that to silence him?
00:07:47Whatever it was for, it wasn't the cause of death.
00:07:50That's PBI.
00:07:52Penetrating brain injury to you.
00:07:55Caused by these.
00:07:57Measuring calipers.
00:07:59They passed into the nasal cavity with considerable force.
00:08:02Indications of cranial penetration and associated cerebral trauma.
00:08:07Triggering intracranial hemorrhage.
00:08:10Victim could have had them on him.
00:08:12Or 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
00:08:27evening.
00:08:28What about these markers?
00:08:29Looks like the victim placed them there himself.
00:08:32A score?
00:08:33As in a score to settle, sir?
00:08:35One thing at a time, Winter.
00:08:37Mobile phone?
00:08:38No sign of one.
00:08:39Or any other personal effects.
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.
00:08:52Along with mother and daughter Ruth and Chloe Gillan.
00:08:56Mum Ruth is a GP and the bowling club president.
00:09:00I've met her at many a medical get to go.
00:09:12Ruth Gillan.
00:09:13Was Wilf Worrell the mainstay of the club?
00:09:20He was indeed.
00:09:21Too much so, really.
00:09:23In what way?
00:09:24Oh, Wilf should have retired years ago.
00:09:27He wasn't a well man.
00:09:29Thyroid issues mainly.
00:09:31And I finally got him to agree to a course of statins and beta blockers.
00:09:35He'd also reluctantly accepted that he needed some help here.
00:09:38And who might that be?
00:09:40Libby.
00:09:41Libby Trevor.
00:09:42Local horticulturalist.
00:09:43Amazing at what she does.
00:09:45And the patience of a saint with Wilf.
00:09:50Do you need to get that?
00:09:51No, it's just the surgery.
00:09:53Chasing.
00:09:58Did anyone not have patience with Wilf?
00:10:00Well, he wasn't the easiest person to be fair.
00:10:03Things got a bit heated yesterday.
00:10:06Olly Peterson wasn't happy with Wilf's refereeing.
00:10:09Because?
00:10:10I thought he'd won.
00:10:11Wilf's measurements indicated otherwise.
00:10:14Measurements made with callipers, by any chance?
00:10:16Yes.
00:10:17Lucas really kicked off.
00:10:19Accusing us all of cheating.
00:10:21Lucas who?
00:10:22Shaw.
00:10:23Runs Midsummer Moca.
00:10:25Brand new trendy coffee place.
00:10:27Not everyone's cup of tea.
00:10:28Not everyone's cup of tea.
00:10:30Or coffee.
00:10:31And did Mr. Worrell cheat?
00:10:33Not possibly, but Lucas overreacted.
00:10:37He's intense and a bit pushy.
00:10:40Maybe it's all that caffeine.
00:10:42Most 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, Wilf resisted their entrance to the club and tried to get them thrown out.
00:10:55For what?
00:10:56Oh, anything.
00:10:57Breaking dress regulation codes, match etiquette rules, breathing, you name it.
00:11:07Why is the bowling club up for sale?
00:11:09Well, our finances are perilous. Membership's fallen off the edge of a cliff. Mainly because people insist on dying.
00:11:19Quiet. Archie Pollock's on a roll.
00:11:24Championship winning captain for the last 12 years.
00:11:27I see he also won in 1926.
00:11:30Oh, his grandfather. He comes from a long line of Archies. A load of Pollocks, some might say.
00:11:38Only ever threatened by Captain Curve himself, Teddy Mulcahy.
00:11:43Who's no longer with us, but their rivalry was legendary. Best not mention him in front of Archie.
00:11:49I'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.
00:12:03Sorry, erm, excuse me. Sorry.
00:12:07Look, excuse me, you can't stand there.
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.
00:12:18Oh.
00:12:19And my mum approved it. She was keen to bring in some extra revenue.
00:12:21Wilf opposed it, of course. Wasn't happy about us using the green.
00:12:25No, Wilf wasn't happy about anything.
00:12:27And Tancreph's old goat.
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.
00:12:39It's because you're insanely brilliant.
00:12:40I mean, personally, I could do without seeing Dale and his downward dog at the crack of dawn twice a week, but...
00:12:45I mean, Jenny's done more for this community than pretty much anyone else.
00:12:49Oh.
00:12:5181.
00:12:52Does that number mean anything to you?
00:12:54Um, someone's age, a house number, perhaps?
00:12:57No, not that I know of.
00:13:00Mr. Worrell, did he own a mobile phone?
00:13:03Oh, definitely not. Old school.
00:13:05Dinosaur, more like.
00:13:07Jenny.
00:13:08Oh.
00:13:10Are you okay?
00:13:11I just heard it's terrible.
00:13:13I know.
00:13:14Well, let's get you home.
00:13:17Has anyone shown interest in buying the club?
00:13:20Two bids so far.
00:13:22Flash Harry being one of them.
00:13:24Harry Peterson, architect, property magnate and entrepreneur.
00:13:28Sporty car, moved to the village a year ago with his son Ollie.
00:13:31The same Ollie who plays balls?
00:13:33Ollie's sweet, whereas his dad has made no secret of his intention to expand his property empire around here.
00:13:39We figure he'll raise the club to the ground, build some modern monstrosity and sell it for millions.
00:13:44Apparently, Jack and Will thought otherwise.
00:13:47They were saying yesterday that Harry's bid is dead in the water.
00:13:50Jack?
00:13:51Oh, club accountant, Archie's son.
00:13:54He was here yesterday?
00:13:55Taking photos to promote his wife's yoga studio.
00:13:58I really must make a move if that's okay.
00:14:01Oh, by all means.
00:14:03And who is the other potential buyer?
00:14:05You mentioned two.
00:14:06We have absolutely no idea.
00:14:08An anonymous bidder.
00:14:13Well, I think it's fair to say that Mr. Worrell wasn't the most popular person in the village.
00:14:16Indeed.
00:14:17Generational conflict, sporting rivalry, a spat with Lucas Shaw.
00:14:20All soccer on the way to Mr. Worrell's house now.
00:14:23I'll follow.
00:14:24Check 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.
00:14:30And pay a visit to Lucas Shaw at Midsummer Mocha.
00:14:33Oh, I'd love to.
00:14:34Really into my coffee at the moment, sir.
00:14:36I've become a bit of a Java junkie.
00:14:38A what?
00:14:39A roast ranger, sir.
00:14:41Bean aficionado?
00:14:42Well, keep it to yourself, Winter.
00:14:44I'll speak to Jack Pollock, see what he knows.
00:14:49So, 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 book.
00:14:56You, you, Dr. Dirty Stopout.
00:14:59Didn't make it home, I noticed.
00:15:01Well, for your information, I went back to the surgery to a mountain of paperwork and some midnight oil.
00:15:07Oh, is that what they call it these days?
00:15:09I 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.
00:15:18Maybe a smidge.
00:15:19Come on, he's fun, he's charismatic, loaded.
00:15:22And I got on really well with his son.
00:15:24And, uh, Dale?
00:15:26Oh, please, Mother.
00:15:27He's a glorified man with a van.
00:15:29He's not even a contender.
00:15:31Hi, Harry.
00:15:32Hi, ladies.
00:15:36I mean, seriously, what's not to like?
00:15:40See you later.
00:15:43Wow.
00:15:44Who died?
00:15:45Chloe, can you not?
00:15:46Positivity, please.
00:15:47There's positivity and there's delusion.
00:15:48You've got to admit, Wilf's death, on top of already being boycotted by 90% of the locals, it's not a good look.
00:16:06Maybe this place isn't ready for a coffee revolution.
00:16:10We'll just have to work harder, then.
00:16:13Today, Mr. Medeveral.
00:16:15Tomorrow, the world.
00:16:18If you say so, coffee man.
00:16:21I do.
00:16:22I do say so.
00:16:23I do.
00:16:24I do say so.
00:16:26There's police crawling everywhere.
00:16:27They'll be calmed out.
00:16:28Didn't you hear what I said?
00:16:29They're all over the place, what are we gonna do?
00:16:31I'll tell you what we're not gonna do.
00:16:32We're not gonna panic.
00:16:33We're gonna stay calm and carry on as planned.
00:16:34Okay?
00:16:35Tell me, does the number 81 be as planned?
00:16:36Okay.
00:16:37I'm sorry.
00:16:38I'll give him a favor, I'll give him a good look.
00:16:39But if I'm sorry, maybe I would have made a decision in this room, we're going to
00:16:40be a good look.
00:16:41And, I'll give him a great look.
00:16:42I'll give him a good look.
00:16:44I'll give him a good look.
00:16:45Let's go.
00:16:46I'll give him another take a look.
00:16:47Here, we'll give him another take a look.
00:16:48I've got to see you in the wrong direction.
00:16:50We'll go away.
00:16:51And, you know, we're going to take a look at all the paths.
00:16:53I just don't think we need to bring in the wrong direction.
00:16:58Tell me, does the number 81 mean anything to you, relating to Bowles, possibly?
00:17:09No. No, not at all.
00:17:11About the bids to buy the club, I gather you and Mr. Worrell no longer believe that Harry Peterson's bid is a goer.
00:17:20That's correct. I have a friend on the council who told me they'd reject any bid that wanted to build residential property on the land.
00:17:28Which is Mr. Peterson's plan.
00:17:31That's what he does for a living.
00:17:35Look, 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.
00:17:44Does Harry Peterson know about this? Might Mr. Worrell have blabbed about it to him?
00:17:51Very possibly. Wilf was nothing if not a stirrer.
00:17:55I'll need an address for Mr. Peterson if you have it.
00:17:58Sure.
00:17:59And would Mr. Worrell blabbing be annoying for you?
00:18:04Well, it's my own fault, really. I should have known better than to trust him.
00:18:09Can you tell me what you did last night after the game?
00:18:13Well, 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.
00:18:20These photos, were they taken around the club generally?
00:18:23Yeah. All over. Just snaps, really.
00:18:26Might I see them? You might have captured something without knowing it.
00:18:31Sure. I'll send them over to you.
00:18:33Big match tomorrow.
00:18:37The match. Climax of the season.
00:18:40Gone right to the wire.
00:18:41Could be the last championship ever if the club goes.
00:18:45And potentially your 13th.
00:18:48Quite a record.
00:18:48Rivaled only by Teddy Mulcahy, I believe.
00:18:53Mulcahy.
00:18:54All mouth and no trousers.
00:18:55A pretender.
00:18:57A mountebank.
00:18:58Which is why I don't plan on letting any of those youths win tomorrow.
00:19:03First is first. Second is nowhere. Isn't that right, Jack?
00:19:06In one, Dad.
00:19:07You'll need a strong referee, I suspect.
00:19:11We will.
00:19:12That is selfish of wealth not to be around, if you ask me.
00:19:15Dad.
00:19:15What?
00:19:17Just saying.
00:19:18You look after the club, I'll sort the bowls.
00:19:24Everything all right, Mr. Pollock?
00:19:26Just a twinge.
00:19:27There's something wrong with your...
00:19:28No, it's fine.
00:19:37No, it's fine.
00:20:07I don't know.
00:20:34How'd you get on at Mr. Worrell's?
00:20:36Nice cottage, full of antiques, but then he was a dealer.
00:20:41Clearly a successful one. His financials came back.
00:20:44All in good shape.
00:20:46Something I suspect that house clearance expert-cum-ambulance chaser Dale McManus might be interested in.
00:20:52Caught 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 was Flash Harry Peace.
00:21:03Ah, just as well I'm about to meet him.
00:21:06I knocked, but, er...
00:21:17Is your dad here?
00:21:21Said he'd be back soon.
00:21:26You know, if you're a bit of a maths buff, maybe you can help me with something.
00:21:30Is there anything special about the number 81?
00:21:33Nine square, three to the power of four.
00:21:36This is all about bowling?
00:21:41It is. I'm, er...
00:21:43I need to protect the part of the bowling ball tech.
00:21:47Accurity is everything.
00:21:49Unless the ref's cheating.
00:21:50I take it you're referring to Mr Worrell?
00:21:54Why might he do that, do you think?
00:21:57Pick on some breaking rules.
00:21:59Not let's book practice greens.
00:22:01He really had it in for us.
00:22:04As a result, perhaps someone had it in for him.
00:22:09Can I help?
00:22:10Excuse me.
00:22:30What the hell are those for?
00:22:31Mushroom coffee.
00:22:32It's the next big thing.
00:22:33You can't just pick wild mushrooms, experiment and sell it as coffee.
00:22:39There are rules and regulations.
00:22:41We have to do this properly.
00:22:43We'll never get investment from someone like Harry Peterson.
00:22:46Hi, hey.
00:22:49Dias Winter, Causton CID.
00:22:51Er, what can we get you?
00:22:52How about this one?
00:22:54A Parisa?
00:22:55It's a nutty bean, responsibly sourced from a cooperative in Nicaragua.
00:22:58Or perhaps you fancy a Brazilian.
00:23:00Er, yes.
00:23:01Yes, maybe, um, maybe in a minute.
00:23:03Um, how, how's the cafe been, um, received so far?
00:23:08Wilf despised us and, generally speaking, a destination coffee shop isn't exactly top
00:23:13of the village wish list.
00:23:14Most people here are still wedded to powdered instant and a kettle.
00:23:17Same at the bowling club.
00:23:18Their website's like something from the dark ages.
00:23:20I'm not sure.
00:23:21I don't know.
00:23:22I don't know.
00:23:23I don't know.
00:23:24I don't know.
00:23:25I don't know.
00:23:26I don't know.
00:23:27I don't know.
00:23:28I don't know.
00:23:29I don't know.
00:23:30I don't know.
00:23:31I don't know, but I don't know.
00:23:32I don't know.
00:23:33It's a bowling club.
00:23:34Their website's like something from the dark ages.
00:23:36Jack did the puzzles.
00:23:37Wilf did the jokes.
00:23:38Everyone a belter.
00:23:39We joined, hoping to encourage some cross-fertilization.
00:23:40Yeah, we're doing okay on the cross bit.
00:23:42Lesser on the fertilization.
00:23:43How did you get into coffee?
00:23:44Well, I was a barista champion.
00:23:48Er, I worked in cafes all over the world.
00:23:52Guatemala got tired of working for the people and my family are from around here
00:23:58so this is my dream I'll do anything to make it work what did you do after the
00:24:05game last night and mr. McManus said something about going to the pub yeah a
00:24:10bunch of us did and I'll need a list and one of those yeah yeah sure the bright
00:24:20kid your son it doesn't get it from me really I heard that you were a
00:24:25successful architect turned property magnet I can talk the talk but I'm no
00:24:30good at maths not on Ollie's league anyway you know he's just still a
00:24:34teenager but he's already been in touch with the European Space Agency about a
00:24:38mentorship scheme they run impressive is it just the two of you it is money can
00:24:45buy lots of things but it seems happiness is not one of them all his mom
00:24:50lives abroad he misses her and well he retreated into physics quantum mechanics
00:24:58and the multiverse he's become quite introverted and yet he's a member of the
00:25:03bowling club yes a godsend when the coffee guys wanted to recruit a youngster
00:25:09Chloe Gillan took a punt on Ollie and he hasn't looked back swapped one obsession
00:25:14orbital trajectories in space for another Lorne Bowles who knew he loves it
00:25:20hmm but he didn't love mr. Worrell though no but to be honest it's good for
00:25:26Ollie to meet old duffers like that life isn't always fair and the sooner he
00:25:30learns that the better where were you last night around six o'clock I picked
00:25:39Ollie up from the bowling club and then came home and when did you last talk to
00:25:43mr. Worrell yesterday on the phone about mainly he wanted to gloat about how I
00:25:49wasn't going to win the bid something about council opposition to residential
00:25:54property that must have been galling not really he said I was doing anything
00:25:59residential what are your plans then my plans are confidential and for the
00:26:06moment academic and with all due respect I'd prefer to keep it that way if
00:26:11that's all right for the time being yes
00:26:16Ollie everything all right
00:26:18teenagers say hormones and all that does your son make a habit of lashing out
00:26:25oh did you get me a coffee no no I'm taste testing now I get gooseberry but I'm not
00:26:38getting a hint of hibiscus tastes like pencil shavings to me I had no idea you ate pencils I
00:26:44um I checked on Dale McManus our house clearance expert and he's had fines for fly tipping and was once
00:26:51accused of identity theft but nothing was ever proven interesting no and also the
00:26:55council got back to me about an honest bidder H Appleby well do some digging and while
00:27:02you're at it see if Harry Peterson has been involved in anything non-residential
00:27:07cool oh also I got you something sir it's a steam wand milk frother for your coffee yeah aerates the
00:27:18milk makes it creamier I'll bear that in mind Flo wants a word
00:27:33glad you could join
00:27:40I'm working on the numbers do you have any cryptic word games while waiting for lab results Flo
00:27:48you don't get to be head of Causton Cadaver's pub quiz team without practice
00:27:57so pay attention it could be a letters to numbers code a1 b2 and so on so if it is a one would be h a
00:28:09it could be the start of Harry you're our anonymous bidder H Appleby whoever they may be
00:28:16the victim held one of the markers as if he placed him on the ground himself was he trying to help
00:28:25identify his killer that implies mr. Worrell after having caliper ins thrust into his brain had time
00:28:32to think of the idea and execute it before dying I can check but I suspect death was instantaneous it
00:28:40would also imply that the killer left the scene without checking the victim was dead impossible
00:28:46but careless okay so alternatively well the killer put the markers on the ground as if mr. Worrell had
00:28:54done so himself to point the finger someone else exactly if there's something odd about these photos
00:29:02and they're numbered jpegs but there's quite a few of them missing why wouldn't mr. Pollock just send all
00:29:08of them maybe he deleted some as he went maybe in this one the outhouse door is locked but it was
00:29:16open at the crime scene well maybe he unlocked it after people left yeah maybe or someone else could
00:29:23have apart from mr. Worrell who else would have keys his colleague Libby Trevor a horticulturalist
00:29:31with the patience of a saint let's talk to her
00:29:34the yoga meeting good yeah fab I'll grab coffees
00:29:49hi claw two latties please chat with you now is he not Harry
00:29:56you know the good-looking very successful super minted Harry no why would he be good question
00:30:03do you know what forget the coffees let's go what is it nothing
00:30:10what are you doing here I've done emergency appointments you want to answer in my course
00:30:27I've been busy I'm not here I'm not here I'll see you later I I don't know we have to be careful
00:30:36do we why who cares what I do and Wilf did didn't he oh well it's not a problem anymore is he
00:30:43look um maybe we should just leave it you know we had our fun I mean it's no big deal is it and
00:30:55you are that bit younger than me and what's that got to do with anything
00:30:59well I thought um maybe maybe you liked Chloe
00:31:06based on you two flirting are you correction that your daughter flirting she'll do for England by the
00:31:14way literally anyone it's it's absolutely fine if you do but if that is the case then
00:31:21I'd rather we drew the line now I'm not into Chloe the last few weeks with you have meant a lot to
00:31:32me so can I see you tonight please sure
00:31:39good afternoon Miss Trevor may we come in yes uh sorry about
00:32:09all the plants they they calm me and I like the sense well personally I'm getting a rather
00:32:17strong aroma of vanilla I don't know what that can be yeah how did you get on with mr. warrell
00:32:26well um yeah great he taught me everything I know and he was like a mentor to me really
00:32:35especially when I first moved into the area and when was that four years ago this summer I was on
00:32:42my own I fell in with the bowling brigade and I wanted to firm that up somehow so I I became the
00:32:49groundswoman I gather mr. warrell could be quite difficult wealth but no not at all who told you
00:32:56that Ruth Gillan said he wasn't the easiest person to work for he was great I mean working with someone
00:33:05from a different generation has its challenges right the um the outhouse at the bowling club I assume you
00:33:14have a set of keys yes who else has no one just me and Wilf why because we believe whoever killed him
00:33:23might have had access to the outhouse maybe Wilf just left it open we heard that a number of you
00:33:28went to the swan last night did you all come and go at the same time sure oh apart from Dale yeah he left
00:33:35early did he now
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
00:34:19you
00:34:19you
00:34:49I don't know.
00:35:19I don't know.
00:35:49I don't know.
00:36:19I don't remember much, to be honest.
00:36:29Well, try and remember if you can, Dad.
00:36:31It's important.
00:36:31I was walking into the living room, and next thing I know, you're all here.
00:36:40Do you recall seeing anyone?
00:36:43Did 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.
00:36:57I came to pay my respects.
00:36:59How 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.
00:37:14No, no hospital.
00:37:16The paramedic said I'm fine.
00:37:18I just want to go home.
00:37:20I need a good night's sleep before the match.
00:37:21Maybe we should think about cancelling the match, Dad.
00:37:24It's not like you're up against a Teddy McCartney.
00:37:26Never mind him.
00:37:27And don't be such a loser, Jack.
00:37:29Your mother would turn in her grave if I didn't play.
00:37:32Would she, though?
00:37:33Really?
00:37:33Yes, she would.
00:37:34And don't you ever forget it.
00:37:37First is first, and second is nowhere.
00:37:48Which reminds me, Jenny, we'll need a referee for tomorrow.
00:37:51Somebody who understands how important it is to get the right result.
00:37:56I'll do my best, but I'm not Wilf.
00:37:59Your 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.
00:38:10Got to 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.
00:38:20I don't think there was anything in it, but after she'd passed, beating him mattered more than ever.
00:38:26More than being there for his son.
00:38:29I guess.
00:38:41There was no sign of a break-in.
00:38:44The 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.
00:38:50I checked.
00:38:52Meaning 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.
00:39:13Like, 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.
00:39:23I 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.
00:39:30Well, especially given that when I saw him earlier, he seemed more concerned about his good friend
00:39:35not being able to referee tomorrow than he was about him being dead.
00:39:38So he didn't come here to pay his respects.
00:39:42Then why was he here?
00:40:00No, I can do the job, but has it got to be done by tomorrow afternoon?
00:40:12I'm tied up in the morning.
00:40:15Okay, okay.
00:40:17I'll do it as soon as I can.
00:40:20Deal.
00:40:22I need a word.
00:40:24The quality pieces that you said Wilf Worrell owned,
00:40:28that 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.
00:40:34The one in the kitchen?
00:40:35Is that what you were gawping at through the window when I saw you?
00:40:38No.
00:40:39Tell me, if your job is being familiar with objects and their valuations,
00:40:42how much is that painting worth?
00:40:44An auction?
00:40:45Who knows?
00:40:47For insurance purposes, it's got to be in the region of 10k, maybe more.
00:40:50Tempting.
00:40:51And it's just been stolen.
00:40:53And whoever stole it assaulted Archie Pollock.
00:40:55I get it.
00:40:56You think I took the painting and assaulted Archie?
00:40:59If I'd stolen it, would I just tell you it was worth 10k?
00:41:02You might if it was worth more.
00:41:04I'll be my guest and 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.
00:41:14When I asked you where you were last night, you said you were at the pub.
00:41:17I was.
00:41:18You left early.
00:41:19Where did you go?
00:41:20Home.
00:41:21I was tired.
00:41:23Can I go now?
00:41:26Oh, my God.
00:41:56Honestly, Jamie, I love it.
00:42:10Good.
00:42:11I was practicing all last night, which kept John and I awake, trying to catch up with
00:42:16Betty on the four fours.
00:42:17I think 73 is the closest we've come to divorce.
00:42:20Right.
00:42:21What do you think?
00:42:22That was pretty good.
00:42:26Mm.
00:42:27Oh, here's Einstein.
00:42:28Oh, morning, sir.
00:42:29Jamie'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?
00:42:39Uh, research, actually.
00:42:41Something Jack Pollock mentioned about starting a new life.
00:42:46Several developments overnight, sir.
00:42:48Harry Peterson doesn't just do residential.
00:42:50He's a partner in a chain of health care centres across Europe.
00:42:54Also, he's trying to buy some woodland on the edge of the village, but the application doesn't
00:42:58say what for.
00:42:59The bowling club and woodland.
00:43:00He clearly wants to make his mark.
00:43:02As 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 Midsummer Parva.
00:43:10We'll find out when she got the P.O. box.
00:43:12Yeah, we'll do so.
00:43:13Also, there was a message on Wilford's answer machine that you need to hear.
00:43:17It was left by Dale McManus two days ago.
00:43:21I'll keep this brief.
00:43:22I'm sick of it, and I've told you loads.
00:43:24Back off roof.
00:43:25We were a dead man.
00:43:28Prophetic, to say the least.
00:43:30Get him, Tiger.
00:43:39And Ollie, if you don't win, it's okay, right?
00:43:44I heard about the assault.
00:44:03Are you okay?
00:44:04Perfectly fine.
00:44:06Thanks to you.
00:44:14Enjoyed last night?
00:44:17Me too.
00:44:18And now I'm tired of hiding.
00:44:21Not that gun.
00:44:23I had a fault this morning.
00:44:25We'll just go somewhere else, start fresh.
00:44:29I'm serious.
00:44:31Are you playing games with me?
00:44:33No.
00:44:34After this, I've got a job to do, then I'm free.
00:44:39What'd you say?
00:44:41What are we waiting for?
00:44:43Oi!
00:44:44Dale!
00:44:45Chop, chop!
00:44:46You need to get your eye in.
00:44:48Archie, mate.
00:44:50How's the head all right?
00:44:52I've got my money on him.
00:44:54Check 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.
00:45:10Tell me, how far do you think he'd go to win today?
00:45:13Oh, as far as needs be.
00:45:16That's what worries me.
00:45:18The medication you prescribed for Mr. Worrell, you mentioned statins and beta blockers.
00:45:24Yeah, that's right.
00:45:25If someone else took them, would they, for example, help with an arm tremor?
00:45:30Hmm.
00:45:31Then they might, although taking someone else's medication is dangerous.
00:45:37And illegal.
00:45:39Their score, refereeing duties to attend to.
00:45:43Yeah, I'll break a leg.
00:45:44Actually, Jenny.
00:45:45Um...
00:45:46Nothing.
00:45:47Ah, Mr. Pollock.
00:45:48Now those files that you sent us, some of them are missing.
00:45:49Uh, were they?
00:45:50Uh, well, I might have deleted some.
00:45:52Sure, but we'd still like to retrieve them if we can.
00:45:54Okay, can I get them to you later?
00:45:56We can do it now.
00:45:57Just, um, air drop them to me.
00:45:58Ha, ha.
00:45:59Yeah, I'm not sure I know how to do that.
00:46:00Take a shake.
00:46:01Oh, I'm not sure I know how to do that.
00:46:02Take a shake.
00:46:05Thank you, the Arrow.
00:46:06Go, Jack.
00:46:08Thank you, Gulloch.
00:46:09Thank you, Mr. Pollock.
00:46:10Why?
00:46:12I did it.
00:46:13Yeah.
00:46:14I did it.
00:46:15Not quite.
00:46:17I did it.
00:46:19Thank you, Mr. Pollock.
00:46:20It's very, very patient.
00:46:22Let's go.
00:46:25It's very, very good.
00:46:27Have you taken Wilf's meds?
00:46:41Apart from being incredibly irresponsible, you do know that's essentially dumbly.
00:46:45You should 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.
00:46:56Right, Dale.
00:46:57Heads.
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 Bowles Whisperers gets to choose who stars.
00:47:34They can.
00:47:35Right, let's get ready.
00:47:36Let's go.
00:47:37All right.
00:47:40Let's go.
00:47:40Let's go.
00:47:42Let's go.
00:50:10That looks good.
00:50:40Over to you, Jenny.
00:51:05And the winner is...
00:51:09Oli, the winner!
00:51:11Yes! Yes!
00:51:13Yes!
00:51:15Absolutely!
00:51:17Ice cold!
00:51:19Oh, boy!
00:51:21Fantastic!
00:51:23I'm out for a round, all right, mate?
00:51:27Oh, boy!
00:51:31Here he comes.
00:51:33What was I meant to do?
00:51:35Look, you did the right thing.
00:51:37You are no daughter-in-law of mine!
00:51:41Don't know why you married her.
00:51:45You speak to Archie Pollock.
00:51:47I'll talk to Dale McMellis.
00:51:49I will do.
00:51:51Are they?
00:51:53I'm out.
00:52:03You ready?
00:52:05Oh, yes.
00:52:06That's good.
00:52:07Lovely.
00:52:13Where is Mr. Pollock, senior?
00:52:14He stormed off.
00:52:15Not out front, he didn't.
00:52:16There was a back exit.
00:52:17I think he wanted to avoid people.
00:52:19I just wanted to avoid people.
00:52:49No.
00:52:50That's not how I knew, he answered.
00:52:51I think it was just an old man.
00:52:52You did the right thing, he made me lose.
00:52:53That's right.
00:52:54Yeah.
00:52:55Okay.
00:52:57Yeah.
00:52:58Oh, well, we want you to go.
00:52:59I don't think we're good for those steps.
00:53:00No.
00:53:01Don't remember.
00:53:02But I'm telling you, you can do this to help.
00:53:03All right.
00:53:04I'm a full-woman.
00:53:05No.
00:53:06No.
00:53:07No.
00:53:08No, no, no.
00:53:09No.
00:53:10No.
00:53:11No.
00:53:12No.
00:53:13No.
00:53:14No.
00:53:16I don't know.
00:53:46Harry Peterson found the body, called it in, and then went home.
00:54:01You know, you'll need a word.
00:54:08I'm guessing you're familiar with the identity of the Brooklyn.
00:54:12I am.
00:54:14Dale McManus.
00:54:15Was it an accident?
00:54:18Hard to be sure, but checking the crane cabin for prints.
00:54:23I'll need to confirm, but...
00:54:25Preliminary indications suggest cause of death was a combination of blunt trauma to the head
00:54:31and compression of the chest area, leading to pneumothorax.
00:54:36Not 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.
00:54:47What we do have, though, about 30 metres over there, is a large collection of white goods.
00:54:52A fridge freezer, washing machine, the whole lot.
00:54:54Fly-tipping.
00:54:55Fly-tipping.
00:54:56Hmm.
00:55:04Mr. Peterson, it was you who found Dale McManus's body, is that right?
00:55:09Yes, that's right.
00:55:10Well, just passing, were you?
00:55:12So soon, after your son's finest hour at the bowling club, seems a bit strange.
00:55:17I'm interested in buying that plot of woodland.
00:55:19I go there sometimes to think over my potential investment.
00:55:22And you just happened across Mr. McManus's body.
00:55:25That's correct, yes.
00:55:26Mr. Peterson, we can confiscate your phone and your computer and find out the real reason
00:55:32you went there.
00:55:33Or you could save us some time and just tell us the truth.
00:55:36I was due to meet Jenny Pollock.
00:55:42I'm thinking of building a yoga centre there that she might run.
00:55:47That's very generous of you.
00:55:49Well, not at all.
00:55:50I'm a businessman.
00:55:51She's very good at what she does.
00:55:53It would be a sound investment.
00:55:54I see.
00:55:57Did Mr. McManus have anything to do with this plan?
00:56:00No, nothing at all.
00:56:01I was late getting there after celebrating with Ollie, and when I arrived, he was just
00:56:06lying there.
00:56:07So if you went to meet Mrs. Pollock, why wasn't she there?
00:56:11I don't know.
00:56:13She texted me to meet her there straight after the final.
00:56:16I didn't send a text to Harry.
00:56:18Mr. Peterson definitely received one.
00:56:20You saw it.
00:56:21No text.
00:56:22But you could have deleted it.
00:56:23I didn't.
00:56:24Then someone else must have.
00:56:25Who else would have had access to your phone?
00:56:26Presumably you have a passcode.
00:56:271234.
00:56:28It's guessable.
00:56:29But anyway, I always have my phone on me.
00:56:34The text was sent at 1124, which is around the time the bowling final was due to start.
00:56:41Did you have your phone on you then?
00:56:42Actually, no.
00:56:43It was in my bag which I left in the outhouse.
00:56:45So it could have been accessed there by anyone at the bowling match.
00:56:46Yeah, I suppose.
00:56:47This business venture you might be embarking on with Harry Peterson, is it public knowledge?
00:56:50What business venture?
00:56:51What business venture?
00:56:52I think that answers my question.
00:56:53It's nothing Jack.
00:56:54Really.
00:56:55Harry's thinking of buying some land and setting up a yoga centre.
00:56:57He has some experience in that area.
00:56:58Health care centres across Europe, etc.
00:56:59Exactly.
00:57:00What's that got to do with you?
00:57:01Well, he asked me if I wanted to run it.
00:57:02What?
00:57:03And you didn't tell me because...
00:57:04Because there's nothing to tell me.
00:57:05Because there's nothing to tell me.
00:57:06Because there's nothing to tell me about anyone at the bowling match.
00:57:07Anyone at the bowling match?
00:57:08Yeah, I suppose.
00:57:09This business venture you might be embarking on with Harry Peterson, is it public knowledge?
00:57:10What business venture?
00:57:11I think that answers my question.
00:57:12It's nothing Jack.
00:57:13Really.
00:57:14Harry's thinking of buying some land and setting up a yoga centre.
00:57:17He has some experience in that area.
00:57:18Healthcare centres across Europe, etc.
00:57:19Exactly.
00:57:20What's that got to do with you?
00:57:21Well, he 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.
00:57:27Look, I'm not going to do it.
00:57:29I don't want to get into business with Harry.
00:57:31It's a non-starter.
00:57:35Mr Pollock, the photographs that you didn't send us to begin with showed your father and Mr
00:57:42Worrell arguing.
00:57:43Do you know what about?
00:57:44No, I don't.
00:57:46Was not sending us the photos just an oversight or did you think they might implicate
00:57:50your 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 Cammy's 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?
00:58:27He refuses to be under the same 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?
00:58:49Yeah, I'm not sure.
00:58:50If it's just about a yoga centre, 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.
00:58:58What 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.
00:59:08You know, finances, background, everything.
00:59:10Yeah, will do.
00:59:11Do 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.
00:59:17We needed to talk to him about a message he left on Mr Worrell's answer machine.
00:59:22You were mentioned in that message.
00:59:24We need to know what it was about.
00:59:28What is it, Mum?
00:59:29Dale and I were seeing each other.
00:59:31What?
00:59:34So 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?
00:59:47You 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?
00:59:54Chloe's dad ran off with a younger woman.
00:59:57And I was very publicly humiliated and devastated and 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.
01:00:17But 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?
01:00:33Yes.
01:00:34I was now.
01:00:35But when Mr Worrell found out about you two, he threatened to blap.
01:00:38Oh, and some.
01:00:39Wilf was old school.
01:00:40Disapproved.
01:00:41Loved having something over us.
01:00:42Famous for it.
01:00:43Radio Wilf, we called him.
01:00:44And no secret was safe.
01:00:45He loved seeing my discomfort, reveled in it.
01:00:46He said the only thing he enjoyed more than dealing antiques was dealing in secrets.
01:00:48And Dale?
01:00:49Lovable hot head that he was.
01:01:04Hated seeing me being manipulated.
01:01:06So he left a message telling Wilf to keep quiet.
01:01:13telling Wilf to keep quiet his wording was quite severe that was just Dale
01:01:21being protective he went in a bit heavy didn't mean anything by it he didn't
01:01:27kill him if that's what you're thinking I don't know what you're so worried
01:01:31about mom not the only one around here misbehaving why who else is well Harry
01:01:38and Jenny for starters saw them having a lover's tiff out in the woods are they
01:01:43say that they were discussing a joint business venture believe me what I saw
01:01:47was no business talk I'm surprised I thought she'd seen him off seen him off
01:01:52in what way well when Harry moved in he made no secret of the fact that he was
01:01:57attracted to Jenny was the talk of the village like Jack's mum and Teddy
01:02:01Mokahi all over again Jenny fobbed him off at least we thought she did something
01:02:08mr. Peterson said well he can't buy happiness maybe he was talking about
01:02:14Jenny how did Jack Pollock handle all this Jack's Jack he just lets these things
01:02:20roll over him
01:02:27so news on our anonymous second bidder Holly Appleby she started the P.O. box four years ago
01:02:54a lot of falls in the ether at the moment the 4-4 challenge four years Holly Appleby has had her P.O. box
01:03:03and it's four years since Libby Trevor moved to the area before that Holly Appleby lived in Aspen Tallow she went
01:03:11through a messy divorce and ended up in the courts but why open a P.O. box to protect her anonymity when
01:03:17she moved on perhaps interestingly Libby Trevor said she moved here on her own
01:03:23hmm thinking that maybe Holly Appleby changed her name to Libby Trevor possibly but why
01:03:28wouldn't assistant groundswoman put in a bid to buy the bowling club because she
01:03:32loves her job well you say that but if that's the case what are all these
01:03:37bowling balls still doing out here why wouldn't Libby Trevor put them away
01:03:40after the final unless she left in a hurry
01:04:01busy oh what no um no I was just sorting mind if we take a look in the greenhouse
01:04:09hmm vanilla
01:04:15that's not earth on your hands is it it's vanilla scented coffee and this is the
01:04:28real Midsummer Mokko time to come clean Holly it is Holly isn't it
01:04:36a better way
01:04:37work
01:04:41with a lovely
01:04:45glad to meet you
01:04:50and I can't see you
01:04:52even if any of you were there
01:04:53and this is what I was living in the forest
01:04:56and this is what I was living in the forest
01:04:57and this is what I was living here
01:04:57hello
01:04:58Dale
01:05:00Dale
01:05:02Is that you?
01:05:03Cheers, mate.
01:05:26Hey, which one do you want to try this time?
01:05:34Something authentic would be good.
01:05:36Okay.
01:05:37What can I hit you with?
01:05:39Colombian?
01:05:40Guatemalan?
01:05:41Actually, you can hit me with the truth and fill me in about Dale McManus blackmailing
01:05:46you.
01:05:47Or I can introduce you to the Causton CID coffee machine, which is about as authentic
01:05:52as you are.
01:05:53My marriage was abusive, but I finally got out of it and I started over in Midsomer
01:06:10Deverell.
01:06:12Changing 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.
01:06:22All 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.
01:06:37Which wasn't good for me because it reminded me of what I had fought so hard to escape from.
01:06:47Earlier 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.
01:06:57I guess, I guess I didn't want to speak ill of the dead.
01:07:01I didn't want to have to admit all this.
01:07:07How did you become involved with Midsomer Mocker?
01:07:11I liked Lucas's dream and I was trying to figure out how to do something positive with
01:07:20a property that I owned in Aspen Tallow.
01:07:22So I thought that if I sold it, I could use the proceeds as collateral.
01:07:27To join forces and help to buy the bowling club.
01:07:31That was the theory, but in practice it's proving kind of different.
01:07:41That's the thing with dreams, they don't always come true.
01:07:48With Libby's backing, the plan is to turn the bowling club into a coffee emporium.
01:07:52With an outside space for coffee events and music gigs.
01:07:55Emporium.
01:07:56We'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, source the best growers, use the finest beans.
01:08:07But if you don't have anyone to drink it.
01:08:11We've seen your setup in Libby's greenhouse.
01:08:14Everything here is fake.
01:08:17We just needed to reduce costs in order to survive.
01:08:20Until things take off.
01:08:22By importing the cheapest beans that you can find.
01:08:25Probably not ethically sourced and 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.
01:08:35I've accessed his emails.
01:08:37He found out what you and Libby are up to and 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.
01:08:47Did Wilf find out your little secret too?
01:08:51What? No.
01:08:53Look, I didn't like Wilf.
01:08:55Wilf didn't like me, but I didn't steal any painting.
01:08:58What do you think I am?
01:09:00A fraud.
01:09:01Someone desperate to keep their dream alive.
01:09:04Dale McManus was found dead earlier today.
01:09:14I swear I don't know anything about that.
01:09:20Lucas Shaw?
01:09:21Mm.
01:09:22He's admitted fraud, but 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?
01:09:36And why?
01:09:38I wonder if we might be taking Mr. McManus's death too much at face value.
01:09:43Meaning?
01:09:44Well, we know that Harry Peterson received a text message from someone wanting to meet him 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 the wrong time?
01:10:03And Harry Peterson was the real time.
01:10:05Indeed.
01:10:06Well, 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.
01:10:29His father's nemesis.
01:10:31And presumably historic accounts, given that Mr. Mulcahy's been dead for years.
01:10:35I guess.
01:10:37I'll check.
01:10:40Mr. Pollock, how can I help?
01:10:42We're on our way.
01:10:49That Jack Pollock.
01:10:51He says his father's been kidnapped.
01:11:00Any further word?
01:11:01Anonymous 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.
01:11:12We 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.
01:11:20If 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.
01:11:40We'll head over there.
01:11:41Yeah.
01:11:42In the meantime, please don't do anything without talking to us.
01:11:45I doubt there's much in the way of road cameras here.
01:11:56There might be one at the junction where the road meets the village.
01:11:59We'll get tech onto it urgently soon.
01:12:00One mobile phone and one discarded bowling ball.
01:12:13Is that blood?
01:12:14Actually, it's coffee.
01:12:15Really?
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 GCMS test in the lab to make sure, but I did the old PTT.
01:12:27Pipette tongue taste.
01:12:29My guess would be powdered instant.
01:12:33I can't just sit here and do nothing.
01:12:49Dad's out there somewhere.
01:12:52It's all my fault.
01:12:53Look, I don't like the idea, but I think we have to do what you suggested.
01:13:06Ask Harry.
01:13:07What about the police?
01:13:08What about them?
01:13:09Harry.
01:13:10It's me.
01:13:14What's the connection between the murders and the kidnapping?
01:13:31Money.
01:13:32Someone is desperate for it.
01:13:35They stole a valuable painting from Mr. Worrell, and now they want a quarter of a million pounds
01:13:39for the return of Archie Pollock.
01:13:41Why?
01:13:42Greed?
01:13:43Debt, 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 some.
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 is that they're not shots of Jenny Pollock
01:14:10with 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, which 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.
01:14:26Well, we checked out Teddy Mulcahy's accounts, and interestingly, so was the tax man.
01:14:31Heavily in debt and still active, while pending imminent investigation.
01:14:36So 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 in a field next to the woods.
01:15:02Let's go.
01:15:04what are you doing here i could ask you the same question i asked you not to do anything
01:15:17without talking to us you don't understand they said to come alone
01:15:20to uh use harry's phone to transfer the money then and only then would dad be released we need
01:15:27to do what they say transfer the money don't look quick quick the time is running out it is indeed
01:15:36mr pollock there are no kidnappers because there was no kidnapping was there someone tell me what
01:15:42the hell is going on mr pollock has faked his father's kidnapping jenny what what's going on
01:15:50what are you doing here i need to know what's happening mr pollock here one failed turks and
01:15:55kakos investment behind him needed to do something prove himself to his father and provide for his
01:16:02wife was mr peterson's arrival in the village the trigger the dashing international businessman
01:16:08you couldn't compete you tried to by making investments under a false name your father's
01:16:13nemesis teddy mulcahy was that some kind of private joke to get at your father why
01:16:18because he wasn't there for me he was never there after mum died he was too obsessed with his stupid
01:16:30bowling so when your fake investments went wrong with the tax man looming you asked wilf warrell to
01:16:39bail you out what a mistake that was he said no and started lording it over me which explains the
01:16:46photos you were never worried how those photos looked for your father i i i saw wilf having
01:16:51words with dad i thought he was telling him about me and i needed to know for sure so i went back but
01:16:56he he wasn't but that just made things worse so you needed to silence him and knowing where mr
01:17:01warrell kept the keys you went to the outhouse you killed him and then tried to point the finger at
01:17:08your nemesis harry you thought h a might be enough i wasn't thinking straight i needed money fast so
01:17:16you stole a painting accidentally assaulting your father in the process and then you decide to
01:17:21target harry direct you used jenny's phone to lure him to the woods only that doesn't work either harry's
01:17:29delayed and you kill an innocent man i didn't mean to kill dale he was the wrong man in the wrong place
01:17:37you're you're panicked you're lost and then it hits you the solution to everything pretend to kidnap
01:17:46your father demand a ransom that will clear your debts once and for all knowing that your wife would
01:17:51turn to harry to pay for it before he's killed by kidnappers otherwise known as you
