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.
00:03:32Lovely evening for it.
00:03:34이켁
00:03:37I want you to make you.
00:03:43You.
00:03:46I want a word.
00:03:49I want anything to do.
00:03:52I want to get you.
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.
00:06:05Oh, 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?
00:06:13Uh, 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.
00:06:39Yeah.
00:06:39Sure.
00:06:40Right.
00:06:40Right.
00:06:40Right.
00:06:40Right.
00:06:40Right.
00:06:45Okay.
00:06:45Victim is Wilfred Wilf Worrell, 80, widower, retired, antiques dealer and groundsman.
00:07:09I 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.
00:07:15You 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.
00:07:37More numbers.
00:07:39Morning, Fleur.
00:07:40Morning.
00:07:41What a mouthful.
00:07:42Was that to silence him?
00:07:43What a mouthful.
00:07:44Was that to silence him?
00:07:46Whatever it was for, it wasn't the cause of death.
00:07:49Death.
00:07:50That's PPI.
00:07:52Penetrating brain injury to you.
00:07:54Caused by these.
00:07:56Measuring calipers.
00:07:58Thrust into the nasal cavity with considerable force.
00:08:02Tentations of cranial penetration and associated cerebral trauma, triggering intracranial hemorrhage.
00:08:09The victim could have had them on him.
00:08:10The victim could have had them on him, or they might have been taken from the outhouse over there.
00:08:16Time of death?
00:08:22Judging from the lividity of the bruising around the nostrils, I'd say we're talking early evening.
00:08:27What about these markers?
00:08:29Looks like the victim placed them there himself.
00:08:31A score?
00:08:32As in a score to settle, sir?
00:08:35One thing at a time, Winter.
00:08:36Mobile phone?
00:08:37No sign of one.
00:08:38Or any other personal effect.
00:08:41Who found him?
00:08:42Ah.
00:08:43That would be the Dawn Chorus Yoga Club.
00:08:47Yes.
00:08:48Yoga teacher Jenny Pollock, along with mother and daughter Ruth and Chloe Gillan.
00:08:55Mum Ruth is a GP and the bowling club president.
00:09:00I've met her at many a medical get-to-go.
00:09:12Ruth Gillan?
00:09:17Was, uh, Wilf Warrell 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.
00:09:26But he wasn't a well man.
00:09:28Thyroid issues, mainly.
00:09:30And I finally got him to agree to a course of statins and beta blockers.
00:09:34He'd also reluctantly accepted that he needed some help here.
00:09:38And who might that be?
00:09:39Libby.
00:09:40Libby Trevor, local horticulturalist.
00:09:42Amazing at what she does and the patience of a saint with Wilf.
00:09:49Do you need to get that?
00:09:50No, it's just the surgery chasing.
00:09:53Did anyone not have patience with Wilf?
00:09:59Well, he wasn't the easiest person, to be fair.
00:10:03Things got a bit heated yesterday.
00:10:06Ollie Peterson wasn't happy with Wilf's refereeing.
00:10:08Because?
00:10:09I thought he'd won.
00:10:10Wilf's measurements indicated otherwise.
00:10:13Measurements made with callipers, by any chance?
00:10:15Yes.
00:10:16Lucas really kicked off.
00:10:18Accusing us all of cheating.
00:10:20Lucas who?
00:10:22Shaw.
00:10:23Runs Midsummer Mocha, the brand new trendy coffee place.
00:10:27Not everyone's cup of tea.
00:10:29Or coffee.
00:10:30And did Mr Worrell cheat?
00:10:33Not possibly, but Lucas overreacted.
00:10:36He's intense and a bit pushy.
00:10:40Maybe it's all that caffeine.
00:10:42Most of us are open to new ideas, but 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.
00:10:56For what?
00:10:57Oh, anything.
00:10:58Um, breaking dress regulation codes, um, match etiquette rules, breathing, you name it.
00:11:07Why is the bowling club up for sale?
00:11:09Well, our finances are perilous.
00:11:13Membership's fallen off the edge of a cliff.
00:11:15Mainly because, well, people insist on dying.
00:11:19Quite.
00:11:22Archie Pollock's on a roll.
00:11:24He's a champion ship-winning captain for the last 12 years.
00:11:27I see he also won in 1926.
00:11:30Oh, his grandfather.
00:11:31He comes from a long line of Archies.
00:11:33A 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.
00:11:46Best not mention him in front of Archie.
00:11:49I'll try not to.
00:11:51Jenny Pollock, Chloe Gillan, Diaz Winter.
00:11:54Guilty as charged.
00:11:56And, er, you are?
00:11:59Er, Libby Trevor, groundswoman.
00:12:02There you go.
00:12:03Sorry, erm, excuse me.
00:12:06Sorry.
00:12:08No, 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.
00:12:17Yeah.
00:12:18And my mum approved it.
00:12:19She was keen to bring in some extra revenue.
00:12:21Wilf opposed it, of course.
00:12:23Wasn't happy about us using the green.
00:12:25No, Wilf wasn't happy about anything.
00:12:27I think Tanker was old goat.
00:12:28Safe to say you're not a fan, then.
00:12:30Oppressive detective skills, DS Winter.
00:12:32The Bowling Green is the only place in the area we can do it.
00:12:35It's perfect, and it's gone down well with the majority of locals.
00:12:38It's because you're insanely brilliant.
00:12:40I mean, personally, I could do without seeing Dale
00:12:42and his downward dog at the crack of dawn twice a week.
00:12:44But, I mean, Jenny's done more for this community
00:12:47than pretty much anyone else.
00:12:5081.
00:12:52Does that number mean anything to you?
00:12:54Er, someone's age, a house number, perhaps?
00:12:56No, not that I know of.
00:12:58Mr. Worrell, did he own a mobile phone?
00:13:02Oh, definitely not. Old school.
00:13:05Dinosaur, more like.
00:13:06Jenny.
00:13:10Are you okay?
00:13:11I just heard it's terrible.
00:13:13I know.
00:13:15Well, let's get you home.
00:13:18Has 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.
00:13:27Sporty car, moved to the village a year ago with his son Ollie.
00:13:31The same Ollie who plays bowls?
00:13:33Ollie's sweet, whereas his dad has made no secret of his intention
00:13:36to expand his property empire around here.
00:13:39We figure he'll raise the club to the ground,
00:13:41build 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 you mentioned too?
00:14:06We have absolutely no idea.
00:14:08An anonymous bidder.
00:14:09Well, I think it's fair to say that Mr. Worrell wasn't the most popular person in the village.
00:14:15Indeed.
00:14:16Generational conflict, sporting rivalry, a spat with Lucas Shaw.
00:14:19All soccer on the way to Mr. Worrell's house now.
00:14:22I'll follow.
00:14:23Check his financials and get on to the council.
00:14:26I want to know who's behind this anonymous bid to buy the bowling club.
00:14:29And pay a visit to Lucas Shaw at Midsummer Mocha.
00:14:32Oh, I'd love to.
00:14:33Really into my coffee at the moment, sir.
00:14:35Become a bit of a Java junkie.
00:14:37A what?
00:14:38A roast ranger, sir.
00:14:40Bean aficionado?
00:14:42Well, keep it to yourself, Winter.
00:14:44I'll speak to Jack Pollock, see what he knows.
00:14:47Right.
00:14:48So, where were you last night, then?
00:14:51Well, never mind me.
00:14:52Where were you?
00:14:53Pub, then boringly tucked in bed with a buck.
00:14:56You, you, Dr. Dirty 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.
00:15:06Ah, is that what they call it these days?
00:15:08I mean, I believe you.
00:15:10Millions wouldn't.
00:15:11What's up with you home alone, anyway?
00:15:13Well, you're not still holding out for that flash, Harry, are you?
00:15:16Of course not.
00:15:18Maybe a smidge.
00:15:19Come on, he's fine, 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.
00:16:09We'll just have to work harder, then.
00:16:12Today, Mr. Medeverill.
00:16:15Tomorrow, the world.
00:16:17If you say so, coffee man.
00:16:21I do.
00:16:23I do say so.
00:16:24There's police crawling everywhere.
00:16:25They'll be calmed out.
00:16:26Didn't you hear what I said?
00:16:27They're all over the place, what are we gonna do?
00:16:29I tell you what we're not gonna do.
00:16:30We're not gonna panic.
00:16:31We're gonna stay calm and carry on as planned.
00:16:32Okay?
00:16:34Tell me, does the number...
00:16:36I'll go.
00:16:37I'll go.
00:16:39There's police crawling everywhere. They'll be calmed out. Didn't you hear what I said?
00:16:44They're all over the place. What are we gonna do? I tell you what we're not gonna do. We're not gonna panic
00:16:49We're gonna stay calm and carry on as planned, okay?
00:17:02Tell me does the number
00:17:0481 mean anything to you
00:17:06Relating to Bowles possibly no no not at all about the bids to buy the club
00:17:13I gather you and mr. Worrell no longer believed 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
00:17:33I
00:17:35Was I was told in confidence, but um made the mistake of telling Wilf who wanted to blab it to the world?
00:17:42Which could have ruined everything does the Harry Peterson know about this?
00:17:47Might mr. Worrell have blabbed about it to him very possibly will force nothing if not a stir
00:17:53Mm-hmm
00:17:55I'll need an address for mr. Peterson if you have it
00:17:58Sure and would mr. Worrell blabbing be annoying for you?
00:18:05It's my own fault really I
00:18:07Should have known better than to trust him. Can you tell me what you did last night after the game?
00:18:11Well, I've been taking photos of Jenny for her yoga, and then I dropped her home and went to the swan a few of us did
00:18:20These photos were they taken around the club generally yeah all over just snaps really might I see them you might have captured something without knowing it
00:18:29Sure
00:18:31I'll send them over to you
00:18:34Big match tomorrow the match climax of the season gone right to the wire
00:18:41Could be the last championship ever if the club goes
00:18:45And potentially your 13th
00:18:47Quite a record rivaled only by Teddy Mulcahy I believe
00:18:53Mulcahy all mouth and no trousers a pretender a mountain bank
00:18:57Which is why I don't plan on letting any of those youths win tomorrow
00:19:03First his first second is nowhere isn't that right Jack in one dad?
00:19:08You'll need a strong referee I suspect we will
00:19:12But he's selfish of wealth not to be around if you ask me dad what?
00:19:17Just saying you look after the club. I'll sort the bowls
00:19:24Everything all right mr. Pollock just a twinge
00:19:26There's something wrong with you. No, it's fine
00:19:56in someore
00:19:59So Pretty guy
00:20:02From your personal school

00:20:22How did 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.
00:21:14I 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.
00:21:37Okay.
00:21:39This is all about bowling?
00:21:41It is. I'm, er...
00:21:43I need to protect the part of bowling ball tech.
00:21:45Accuracy is everything.
00:21:49Unless the ref's cheating.
00:21:52I take it you're referring to Mr. Worrell?
00:21:54Why might he do that, do you think?
00:21:56Yeah.
00:21:57Pick on some breaking rules.
00:21:59Not let us book practice greens.
00:22:01He really had it in for us.
00:22:04As a result, perhaps someone had it in for him.
00:22:06Can I help?
00:22:10Come on.
00:22:26Excuse me?
00:22:27What the hell are those for?
00:22:32Mushroom coffee.
00:22:33It's the next big thing.
00:22:34You 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.
00:22:45Hi. Hey.
00:22:49Dias Winter.
00:22:50Causton CID.
00:22:52Er, what can we get you?
00:22:53How about this one?
00:22:55A Parisa?
00:22:55It's a nutty bean responsibly sourced from a cooperative in Nicaragua.
00:23:00Or perhaps you fancy a Brazilian?
00:23:05Er, yes.
00:23:05Yes, maybe, um...
00:23:07Maybe in a minute.
00:23:08Um, how...
00:23:09How's the cafe been, um, received so far?
00:23:13Wilf despised us.
00:23:15And, generally speaking,
00:23:18a destination coffee shop
00:23:19isn't exactly top of the village wish list.
00:23:21Most people here are still wedded to powdered instant and a kettle.
00:23:24Same at the bowling club.
00:23:26Their website's like something from the dark ages.
00:23:28Jack did the puzzles.
00:23:29Wilf did the jokes.
00:23:31Everyone a belter.
00:23:32We joined, hoping to encourage some cross-fertilisation.
00:23:35No, we're doing okay on the cross bit.
00:23:37Less on the fertilisation.
00:23:40How did you get into coffee?
00:23:41Huh.
00:23:43Well, I was a barista champion.
00:23:48Um, I worked in cafes all over the world.
00:23:51Uh, Madrid, Ecuador, Guatemala.
00:23:54Got tired of working for other people.
00:23:57And my family are from around here, so...
00:23:59This is my dream.
00:24:01I'll do anything to make it work.
00:24:02What did you do after the game last night?
00:24:06Mr. McManus said, um, something about going to the pub.
00:24:09Yeah.
00:24:10A bunch of us did.
00:24:11I'll need a list.
00:24:12And, uh, one of those.
00:24:15Uh, yeah.
00:24:16Yeah, sure.
00:24:16He's a bright kid, your son.
00:24:21Doesn't get it from me.
00:24:22Oh, really?
00:24:24I heard that you were, uh, a successful architect turned property magnate.
00:24:28I can talk the talk, but I'm no good at maths.
00:24:31Not on Ollie's league, anyway.
00:24:33You know, he's just still a teenager, but he's already been in touch with the European Space Agency
00:24:38about a mentorship scheme they run.
00:24:40Impressive.
00:24:41Is it just the two of you?
00:24:43It is.
00:24:44Money can buy lots of things, but it seems happiness is not one of them.
00:24:50Ollie's mum lives abroad.
00:24:52He misses her, and, uh, well, he retreated into physics, quantum mechanics, and the multiverse.
00:25:00He's become quite introverted.
00:25:02And yet he's a member of the bowling club.
00:25:04Yes, a godsend.
00:25:06When the coffee guys wanted to recruit a youngster, Chloe Gillan took a punt on Ollie, and he hasn't
00:25:12looked back.
00:25:12Swapped one obsession, orbital trajectories in space, for another, Lorne Bowles.
00:25:18Who knew?
00:25:19He loves it.
00:25:20But he didn't love Mr. Worrell, though.
00:25:23No.
00:25:24But, to be honest, it's good for Ollie to meet old duffers like that.
00:25:28Life isn't always fair, and the sooner he learns that, the better.
00:25:31Yeah, where were you last night, around six o'clock?
00:25:38I picked Ollie up from the bowling club and then came home.
00:25:42And when did you last talk to Mr. Worrell?
00:25:44Yesterday, on the phone.
00:25:46About?
00:25:48Mainly, he wanted to gloat about how I wasn't going to win the bid.
00:25:51Something about council opposition to residential property.
00:25:55That must have been galling.
00:25:57Not really.
00:25:58Who said I was doing anything residential?
00:25:59Well, what are your plans, then?
00:26:02My plans are confidential and, for the moment, academic.
00:26:08With all due respect, I'd prefer to keep it that way, if that's all right.
00:26:12For the time being, yes.
00:26:16Ollie, everything all right?
00:26:21Teenagers, eh?
00:26:22Hormones and all that.
00:26:24Does your son make a habit of lashing out?
00:26:26Oh, did you get me a coffee?
00:26:32No.
00:26:33No, I'm taste testing.
00:26:34Now, I get gooseberry, but I'm not getting a hint of hibiscus.
00:26:40Tastes like pencil shavings to me.
00:26:42I had no idea you ate pencils.
00:26:44I, um, I checked on Dale McManus, our house clearance expert,
00:26:48and he's had fines for fly-tipping and was once accused of identity theft,
00:26:52but nothing was ever proven.
00:26:53Interesting.
00:26:54And also, the council got back to me about an honest bidder, H. Appleby.
00:27:00Well, do some digging.
00:27:01And while you're at it, see if Harry Peterson has been involved in anything non-residential.
00:27:07Hmm, well, too.
00:27:08Oh, also, I got you something, sir.
00:27:12It's a steam wand.
00:27:15Milk frother for your coffee.
00:27:17Yeah, it aerates the milk.
00:27:20Makes it creamier.
00:27:27I'll bear that in mind.
00:27:32Fleur wants a word.
00:27:33Glad you could join.
00:27:43I'm working on the numbers.
00:27:45Do you have any cryptic word games while waiting for lab results, Fleur?
00:27:51You don't get to be head of Causton Cadaver's PubQuiz team without practice.
00:27:58So pay attention.
00:28:00It could be a letters to numbers code.
00:28:03A-1, B-2, and so on.
00:28:06So if it is, A-1 would be...
00:28:08H-A.
00:28:10It could be the start of Harry.
00:28:12You're our anonymous bidder, H. Appleby.
00:28:15Whoever they may be.
00:28:19The victim held one of the markers as if he placed him on the ground himself.
00:28:24Was he trying to help identify his killer?
00:28:26That implies Mr. Worrell, after having caliparins thrust into his brain...
00:28:31Had time to think of the idea and execute it before dying.
00:28:35I can check, but I suspect death was instantaneous.
00:28:39It would also imply that the killer left the scene without checking the victim was dead.
00:28:45Impossible, but careless.
00:28:47Okay, so...
00:28:48Alternatively...
00:28:50Well, the killer put the markers on the ground as if Mr. Worrell had done so himself.
00:28:56To point the finger?
00:28:57Someone else.
00:28:58Exactly.
00:28:59There's something odd about these photos.
00:29:03They're numbered JPEGs, but there's quite a few of them missing.
00:29:06Why wouldn't Mr. Pollard just send all of them?
00:29:08Maybe he deleted some as he went.
00:29:10Maybe.
00:29:11Well, in this one, the outhouse door is locked, but it was open at the crime scene.
00:29:18Well, maybe he unlocked it after people left.
00:29:20Yeah, maybe.
00:29:22Well, someone else could have.
00:29:24Apart from Mr. Worrell, who else would have keys?
00:29:26His colleague, Libby Trevor.
00:29:29Ah, the horticulturalist with the patience of a saint.
00:29:33Let's talk to her.
00:29:34Ah.
00:29:34Is the yoga meeting good?
00:29:46Yeah, fab.
00:29:48I'll grab coffees.
00:29:51Hi, Claude.
00:29:52Two latties, please.
00:29:54Chat with you now, is he?
00:29:55Not Harry?
00:29:57You know the good-looking, very successful, super-minted Harry?
00:30:01No.
00:30:01Why would he be?
00:30:02Good question.
00:30:04Do you know what?
00:30:05Forget the coffees.
00:30:07Let's go.
00:30:08What?
00:30:09What is it?
00:30:09Nothing.
00:30:23What are you doing here?
00:30:24I've done a emergency appointment.
00:30:26You want to answer in my course?
00:30:27You've been busy.
00:30:28I'm not here.
00:30:29I'm not here.
00:30:32I'll see you later.
00:30:34I-I don't know.
00:30:35We have to be careful.
00:30:37Do we?
00:30:38Why?
00:30:38Who cares?
00:30:39Well, I do.
00:30:40And Wulf did, didn't he?
00:30:42Oh, Wulf's not a problem anymore, is he?
00:30:45Look, um...
00:30:47Maybe we should just leave it, you know?
00:30:50We had our fun.
00:30:52I mean...
00:30:52It's no big deal, is it?
00:30:55And you are that bit younger than me.
00:30:58And what's that got to do with anything?
00:31:00Well, I thought, um...
00:31:03Maybe, maybe you liked Chloe?
00:31:07Based on...
00:31:09You two flirting, are we now?
00:31:11A correction.
00:31:12Your daughter flirting.
00:31:13She'll do for England, by the way.
00:31:15Literally anyone.
00:31:17It's...
00:31:18It's absolutely fine if you do.
00:31:20But if that is the case, then...
00:31:22I'd rather we drew the line now.
00:31:24I'm not into Chloe.
00:31:25I'm not into...
00:31:26Wulf.
00:31:30The last few weeks with you have meant a lot to me.
00:31:34So can I see you tonight?
00:31:36Please?
00:31:39Sure?
00:31:39Sure.
00:31:39Sure.
00:31:55Afternoon, Miss Trevor.
00:32:06May we come in?
00:32:06Yes.
00:32:08Uh...
00:32:08Sorry about all the plants.
00:32:11They...
00:32:12They calm me.
00:32:13And...
00:32:14I like the scents.
00:32:16Well, personally, I'm getting a rather strong aroma of vanilla.
00:32:21I don't know what that can be.
00:32:22Yeah, how did you get on with Mr. Worrell?
00:32:27Wulf?
00:32:28Um...
00:32:28Yeah, great.
00:32:30He taught me everything I know.
00:32:33And he was like a mentor to me, really.
00:32:35Especially when I first moved into the area.
00:32:37And when was that?
00:32:38Four years ago this summer.
00:32:41I was on my own.
00:32:43I fell in with the bowling brigade.
00:32:45And I wanted to firm that up somehow.
00:32:47So I...
00:32:48I became the groundswoman.
00:32:50I gather Mr. Worrell could be quite difficult.
00:32:52Wealth?
00:32:54No, not at all.
00:32:56Who told you that?
00:32:57Ruth Gillan said he wasn't the easiest person to work for.
00:33:01But he was great.
00:33:03I mean, working with someone from a different generation has its challenges, right?
00:33:09The, um...
00:33:10The outhouse at the bowling club, I assume you have a set of keys?
00:33:15Yes.
00:33:16Who else has?
00:33:18No one.
00:33:19Just me and Wulf.
00:33:20Why?
00:33:21Because we believe whoever killed him might have had access to the outhouse.
00:33:25Maybe Wulf just left it open?
00:33:27We heard that a number of you went to the Swan last night.
00:33:30Did you all come and go at the same time?
00:33:31Sure.
00:33:32Oh, apart from Dale.
00:33:35Yeah, he left early.
00:33:36Did he now?
00:33:36Dale didn't say anything about leaving the pub early when I asked him.
00:33:46Keep digging.
00:33:47Likewise, Miss Trevor.
00:33:49She's on edge.
00:33:50She's lying about something.
00:33:51She's lying about something.
00:34:21She's lying about something.
00:34:22She's lying about something.
00:34:23She's lying about something.
00:34:24She's lying about something.
00:34:25She's lying about something.
00:34:26She's lying about something.
00:34:27She's lying about something.
00:34:28She's lying about something.
00:34:29She's lying about something.
00:34:30She's lying about something.
00:34:31She's lying about something.
00:34:32She's lying about something.
00:34:33She's lying about something.
00:34:34She's lying about something.
00:34:35She's lying about something.
00:34:36She's lying about something.
00:34:37She's lying about something.
00:34:38She's lying about something.
00:34:39She's lying about something.
00:34:40She's lying about something.
00:34:41She's lying about something.
00:34:42She's lying about something.
00:34:43She's lying about something.
00:34:44She's lying about something.
00:34:45She's lying about something.
00:34:46She's lying about something.
00:34:47She's lying about something.
00:34:48I don't know.
00:35:18I don't know.
00:35:48I don't know.
00:36:18I 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.
00:37:02Didn't you think that was odd?
00:37:05No, not really.
00:37:07Wilf could be forgetful.
00:37:08I'm sorry, but I think we need to take Archie to hospital just to get him checked over.
00:37:13Jack?
00:37:14Yeah, I agree.
00:37:15No, no hospital.
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, and don't be such a loser, Jack.
00:37:29Your mother would turn in that grave if I didn't play.
00:37:32Would she, though?
00:37:33Really?
00:37:33Yes, she would, and don't you ever forget it.
00:37:37First is first, and second is nowhere.
00:37:39Which 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.
00:38:02Your father claims to compete in your mother's memory, but you don't think so.
00:38:07He competes to prove he's the man.
00:38:09Got to see off the rivals.
00:38:11Like 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?
00:38:32I guess.
00:38:39There 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.
00:38:51I checked.
00:38:51Meaning whoever assaulted Mr. Pollock had a set of keys.
00:38:56Maybe the killer took them from Mr. Worrell at the bowling club.
00:39:01How was this called in?
00:39:03999.
00:39:03No name given.
00:39:04Unusual for a killer to ring 999.
00:39:07Unless whoever did this isn't our killer.
00:39:10Maybe Mr. Pollock just disturbed a burglar stealing a painting.
00:39:14Like, for example, the house clearance expert that was sniffing around the cottage earlier.
00:39:19Speculation, Winter, but let's pay Mr. McManus a visit.
00:39:23I 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 not being able to referee tomorrow than he was about him being dead.
00:39:38So he didn't come here to pay his respects?
00:39:42Then why was he here?
00:39:43No, 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.
00:40:16Okay.
00:40:17I'll do it as soon as I can.
00:40:20Deal.
00:40:22I need a word.
00:40:23The, um, quality pieces that you said Wilf Warrell owned, that you were curious about, did that include a painting?
00:40:30Yeah, a few.
00:40:31But 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.
00:40:38Tell me, if your job is being familiar with objects and their valuations, how 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.
00:40:57You 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 in check.
00:41:06I'm sure you will anyway.
00:41:07Anything 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.
00:41:22I was tired.
00:41:25Can I go now?
00:41:26Come on.
00:41:56Honestly, Jamie, I love it.
00:42:10Good.
00:42:11I was practising all last night, which kept John and I awake, trying to catch up with Betty on the four fours.
00:42:18I think 73 is the closest we've come to divorce.
00:42:20Right, what do you think?
00:42:21That was pretty good.
00:42:27Oh, here's Einstein.
00:42:28Oh, morning, sir.
00:42:30Jamie's just been telling me all about grinders and tampers.
00:42:32Have you now?
00:42:33Well, I hate to interrupt coffee morning winter, but we have work to do.
00:42:36Are you planning a holiday, sir?
00:42:39Yeah, research, actually.
00:42:42Something Jack Pollock mentioned about starting a new life.
00:42:47Several developments overnight, sir.
00:42:49Harry Peterson doesn't just do residential.
00:42:51He's a partner in a chain of healthcare centres across Europe.
00:42:54Also, he's trying to buy some woodland on the edge of the village, but the application doesn't say what for.
00:43:00The bowling club and woodland.
00:43:01He clearly wants to make his mark.
00:43:03As for the other bidder, H is for Holly Appleby, and she's proving quite elusive.
00:43:07All I can find is a P.O. box in Midsommar Parva.
00:43:11I'll find out when she got the P.O. box.
00:43:13Yeah, we'll do so.
00:43:14Also, there was a message on Wilford's answer machine that you need to hear.
00:43:18It was left by Dale McManus two days ago.
00:43:22I'll keep this brief.
00:43:23I'm sick of it, and I've told you loads.
00:43:25Back off roof.
00:43:25We're a dead man.
00:43:29Prophetic, to say the least.
00:43:30Oh.
00:43:37Go get him, Tiger.
00:43:40And Ollie, if you don't win, it's okay, right?
00:44:02I heard about the assault.
00:44:03Are you okay?
00:44:05Perfectly fine.
00:44:06And thanks to you.
00:44:15Enjoyed last night?
00:44:17Me too.
00:44:19And now I'm tired of hiding.
00:44:21Not that again.
00:44:23I had a fault this morning.
00:44:26We'll just go somewhere else.
00:44:27Start fresh.
00:44:30I'm serious.
00:44:31Are you playing games with me?
00:44:33No.
00:44:36After this, I've got a job to do.
00:44:37Then I'm free.
00:44:41What do you say?
00:44:42What are we waiting for?
00:44:43Oi!
00:44:44Dale!
00:44:45Chop, chop!
00:44:46You need to get your eye in.
00:44:49Aren't you, mate?
00:44:50How's the head?
00:44:51All right?
00:44:52I've got my money on you.
00:44:54Check with Jack Pollock about the rest of the pictures he took.
00:44:58The ones he didn't send us.
00:44:59Yeah, we'll do so.
00:45:06Everything all right?
00:45:07Oh, just worried about Archie, that's all.
00:45:11Tell me, how far do you think he'd go to win today?
00:45:14Oh, as far as needs be.
00:45:16That's what worries me.
00:45:19The medication you prescribed for Mr. Worrell, you mentioned statins and beta blockers.
00:45:25Yeah, that's right.
00:45:26If someone else took them, would they, for example, help with an arm tremor?
00:45:32Then they might, although taking someone else's medication is dangerous.
00:45:37And illegal.
00:45:43Oh, my God.
00:45:45Their score, refereeing duties to attend to.
00:45:48Yeah, I'll break a leg.
00:45:49Actually, Jenny.
00:45:56Nothing.
00:46:02No, Mr. Pollock.
00:46:03All those files that you sent us, some of them are missing.
00:46:06Were they?
00:46:07Okay, well, I might have deleted some.
00:46:09Sure, but we'd still like to retrieve them if we can.
00:46:10Okay, can I get them to you later?
00:46:12We can do it now.
00:46:13Just, um, airdrop them to me.
00:46:17Yeah, I'm not sure I know how to do that.
00:46:19I could show you.
00:46:37Have you taken Wilf's meds?
00:46:41Apart from being incredibly irresponsible, you do know that's essentially dumping.
00:46:45Should have given me a prescription, then.
00:46:47I have my reputation to think of.
00:46:48So do I.
00:46:49And mine's worth more than yours.
00:46:51Especially since Wilf told me all about you and Dale.
00:46:54Right, Dale.
00:46:57Dale.
00:47:17Heads.
00:47:18All these orbitals, you get to choose ends.
00:47:25We'll do east-west, please.
00:47:27Better lie the land.
00:47:28It'll take more than that.
00:47:30Archie, your Bulls Whisperers gets to choose who stars.
00:47:34They can.
00:47:35Right.
00:47:35Let's get ready.
00:47:36Let's get ready.
00:48:05Let's get ready.
00:48:35You were right to check the photos, by the way.
00:48:54The ones that Jack Pollock didn't manage to send us all have one striking thing in common.
00:48:59They all show Archie Pollock arguing with Wilf Warhol.
00:49:04The question is, what about?
00:49:08Let's speak to our bowling legend as soon as this match ends.
00:49:12We're on the deciding end now.
00:49:13We're on the deciding end.
00:49:19Let's talk to our bowling again as this match ends.
00:49:22Let's go.
00:49:22Let's go.
00:49:23Let's go.
00:50:53And the winner is...
00:51:09Oli is a winner!
00:51:10Yes!
00:51:11Yes!
00:51:12Yes!
00:51:13Yes!
00:51:14Look at me!
00:51:15Absolutely!
00:51:16Ice cold!
00:51:18Oh, boy!
00:51:19Here he comes.
00:51:20What was I meant to do?
00:51:21Look, you did the right thing.
00:51:22You are no daughter-in-law of mine!
00:51:23Don't know why you married her.
00:51:25Don't know why you married her.
00:51:26Do you speak to Archie Pollock?
00:51:27I'll talk to Dale McMalas.
00:51:28I will do.
00:51:29Will they?
00:51:30I will do.
00:51:31Will they?
00:51:32Will they?
00:51:33Will they?
00:51:34Will they?
00:51:35I will do.
00:51:36I will do.
00:51:37I will do.
00:51:38I will do.
00:51:39I will do.
00:51:40I will do.
00:51:41I will do.
00:51:42I will do.
00:51:43I will do.
00:51:44You will do.
00:51:46Can you speak to Archie Pollock?
00:51:48I'll talk to Dale McMalas.
00:51:49I will do.
00:51:50Will they?
00:51:51I will do.
00:51:53I will do.
00:52:04Ready?
00:52:05Oh, yes.
00:52:06That's good.
00:52:07Lovely.
00:52:09Where is Mr Pollock's house?
00:52:12You're looking for things?
00:52:13Where is Mr. Pollock, senior?
00:52:15He stormed off.
00:52:16Not out front, he didn't.
00:52:17There was a back exit.
00:52:19I think he wanted to avoid people.
00:52:43I don't know.
00:53:13I don't know.
00:53:43I don't know.
00:53:53Harry Peterson found the body, called it in, and then went home.
00:54:00Did he know?
00:54:01You'll need a word.
00:54:03I'm guessing you're familiar with the identity of the bookman.
00:54:11I am.
00:54:13Dale McManus.
00:54:15Was it an accident?
00:54:17Hard to be sure, but we're checking the crane cabin for prints.
00:54:23I'll need to confirm, but...
00:54:25The preliminary indications suggest cause of death was a combination of blunt trauma to the head and compression of the chest area.
00:54:33Leading to new Mothorax.
00:54:35Not pleasant.
00:54:36Notice anything missing?
00:54:37It's Van.
00:54:38Perhaps the killer took it.
00:54:39I'll put a marker on its circulator trace.
00:54:41What we do have, though, about 30 metres over there is a large collection of white goods.
00:54:51A fridge freezer, washing machine, the whole lot.
00:54:53Fly tipping.
00:54:54Hmm.
00:54:55Mr. Peterson.
00:54:56It was you who found Dale McManus's body.
00:54:57Is that right?
00:54:58Yes, that's right.
00:54:59Well, just passing, were you?
00:55:00So soon, after your son's finest hour at the bowling club, seems a bit strange.
00:55:15I'm interested in buying that plot of woodland.
00:55:18I go there sometimes to think over my potential investment.
00:55:21And you just happened across Mr. McManus's body?
00:55:24That's correct, yes.
00:55:26Mr. Peterson, we can confiscate your phone and your computer and find out the real reason you went there.
00:55:33Or you could save us some time and just tell us the truth.
00:55:40I was due to meet Jenny Pollock.
00:55:43I'm thinking of building a yoga centre there that she might run.
00:55:47That's very generous of you.
00:55:49Well, not at all.
00:55:50I'm a businessman.
00:55:51She's very good at what she does.
00:55:52It would be a sound investment.
00:55:54I see.
00:55:56Did Mr. McManus have anything to do with this plan?
00:55:59No, nothing at all.
00:56:00I was late getting there after celebrating with Ollie.
00:56:03And when I arrived, he was just lying there.
00:56:07So if you went to meet Mrs. Pollock, why wasn't she there?
00:56:10I don't know.
00:56:11She 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. We saw it.
00:56:26No text, but you could have deleted it.
00:56:29I didn't.
00:56:30Then someone else must have.
00:56:32Who else would have had access to your phone?
00:56:34Presumably you have a passcode.
00:56:36One, two, three, four.
00:56:38It's guessable.
00:56:39But anyway, I always have my phone on me.
00:56:42The text was sent at 11.24, which is around the time the bowling final was due to start.
00:56:47Did you have your phone on you then?
00:56:49Actually, no. It was in my bag, which I left in the outhouse.
00:56:54So it could have been accessed there by anyone at the bowling match?
00:56:58Yeah, I suppose.
00:57:00This business venture you might be embarking on with Harry Peterson, is it public knowledge?
00:57:05What business venture?
00:57:06I think that answers my question.
00:57:08It's nothing, Jack. Really.
00:57:10Harry's thinking of buying some land and setting up a yoga centre.
00:57:14He has some experience in that area.
00:57:17You know, healthcare 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.
00:57:24What? And you didn't tell me because...
00:57:26Because there's nothing to tell.
00:57:28Look, I'm not going to do it.
00:57:30I don't want to get into business with Harry. It's a non-starter.
00:57:35Mr Pollock, the photographs that you didn't send us to begin with showed your father and Mr Worrell arguing.
00:57:43Do you know what about?
00:57:45No, I don't.
00:57:46Was not sending us the photos just an oversight or did you think they might implicate your father?
00:57:55I was trying to protect him.
00:57:57Because you think he might have killed Mr Worrell?
00:57:59No, of course not. I just... I was worried, I guess. I knew it didn't look good.
00:58:04I know what they were arguing about. Archie 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 calm his arm. Wilf said no.
00:58:20So, Mr Pollock stole them after Mr Worrell was killed.
00:58:24Where is your father now?
00:58:27He refuses to be under the seam, refers me.
00:58:30He's out walking. He'll be back soon. He'll calm down.
00:58:37Archie Pollock isn't going to calm down any time soon. Winning 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. If it is 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. What about Harry Peterson?
00:59:00Well, we can't rule him out. He wouldn't be the first murderer to pretend to have found the body.
00:59:04We can't rule out Archie Pollock either. Keep digging on the Pollock family and 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. We need to know what it was about.
00:59:25What is it, Mum?
00:59:29Dale and I were seeing each other.
00:59:33What?
00:59:35So that's where you were two nights ago?
00:59:37The night Mr Worrell was killed?
00:59:39Yes, me and Dale met up.
00:59:42That would explain why you left the pub early.
00:59:45Why not just say? You could have told me.
00:59:49No, I couldn't. I didn't want it to be public knowledge.
00:59:53Why was that?
00:59:55Chloe's dad ran off with a younger woman.
00:59:57And I was very publicly humiliated and devastated and even more publicly a vocal opponent to inappropriately aged relationships.
01:00:11Dale was hardly a babe in arms.
01:00:14Well, he was in his thirties. I'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. So I wasn't comfortable going public until I was completely sure about Dale.
01:00:31And were you?
01:00:33Yes. I was now.
01:00:37But when Mr Worrell found out about you two, he threatened to blap.
01:00:42Oh, and some. Wilf was old school. Disapproved. Loved having something over us.
01:00:48Famous for it. Radio Wilf, we called him. And no secret was safe.
01:00:53He loved seeing my discomfort, reveled in it. He said the only thing he enjoyed more than dealing antiques was dealing in secrets.
01:01:00And Dale?
01:01:04Lovable hot head that he was. He hated seeing me being manipulated.
01:01:11So he left a message telling Wilf to keep quiet. His wording was quite severe.
01:01:19That was just Dale being protective. He went in a bit heavy. He didn't mean anything by it.
01:01:25He didn't kill him, if that's what you're thinking.
01:01:29I don't know what you're so worried about, Mum. Not the only one round here misbehaving.
01:01:34Why? Who else is?
01:01:36Well, Harry and Jenny, for starters, saw them having a lover's tiff out in the woods.
01:01:42They say that they were discussing a joint business venture.
01:01:45Believe me, what I saw was no business talk.
01:01:48I'm surprised. I thought she'd seen him off.
01:01:51Seen him off? In what way?
01:01:53Well, when Harry moved in, he made no secret of the fact that he was attracted to Jenny.
01:01:58It was the talk of the village. Like Jack's mum and Teddy Mokahi all over again.
01:02:02Jenny fobbed him off. At least we thought she did.
01:02:05Something Mr. Peterson said when he can't buy happiness.
01:02:12Maybe he was talking about Jenny.
01:02:14How did Jack Pollock handle all this?
01:02:16Jack's Jack. He just lets these things roll over him.
01:02:21Sir, news on our anonymous secretary.
01:02:50News on our anonymous second bidder, Holly Appleby.
01:02:52She started the P.O. Box four years ago.
01:02:56There's a lot of falls in the ether at the moment.
01:02:58The 4-4 Challenge. Four years Holly Appleby has had her P.O. Box.
01:03:02And it's four years since Libby Trevor moved to the area.
01:03:07Before that, Holly Appleby lived in Aspen Tallow.
01:03:10She went through a messy divorce and ended up in the courts.
01:03:12But why open a P.O. Box?
01:03:15To protect her anonymity when she moved on, perhaps.
01:03:18Interestingly, Libby Trevor said she moved here on her own.
01:03:22Hmm.
01:03:23Thinking that maybe Holly Appleby changed her name to Libby Trevor?
01:03:26Possibly.
01:03:27But why wouldn't Assistant Groundswoman put in a bid to buy the bowling club?
01:03:31Because she loves her job.
01:03:33Well, you say that, but if that's the case,
01:03:35what are all these bowling balls still doing out here?
01:03:38Why wouldn't Libby Trevor put them away after the final?
01:03:41Unless she left in a hurry.
01:04:00Busy?
01:04:01Oh.
01:04:02What?
01:04:03No.
01:04:04I was just sorting.
01:04:05Mind if we take a look in the greenhouse?
01:04:13Hmm.
01:04:14Vanilla.
01:04:15That's not earth on your hands, is it?
01:04:22It's vanilla-scented coffee.
01:04:25And this is the real Midsomer Mocha.
01:04:29Time to come clean, Holly.
01:04:32It is Holly, isn't it?
01:04:34It is Holly, isn't it?
01:04:35It is Holly, isn't it?
01:04:57Hello?
01:04:58Dale!
01:04:59Is that you?
01:05:00Dale!
01:05:01Is that you?
01:05:14Stan!
01:05:25Cheers, mate.
01:05:28Mm.
01:05:31Hey.
01:05:32Which one do you want to try this time?
01:05:33Something authentic would be good.
01:05:35Okay.
01:05:36Uh, what can I hit you with?
01:05:38Uh, Colombian?
01:05:39Guatemalan?
01:05:40Well, actually, you can hit me with the truth.
01:05:43And fill me in about Dale McManus blackmailing you.
01:05:46Or I can introduce you to the Causton CID coffee machine,
01:05:49which is about as authentic as you are.
01:05:59My marriage was abusive.
01:06:08But I finally got out of it, and I started over in Midsomer de Vril.
01:06:11Changing your name and trying to make sure your ex couldn't track you down.
01:06:16Libby started out as Liberty, a sign of my new freedom.
01:06:25All 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, which wasn't good for me because it reminded me of what I had fought so hard to escape from.
01:06:50Earlier you were very complimentary about Mr. Worrell. You said he was like a mentor to you. Why lie?
01:06:57I'm sorry. I guess I didn't want to speak ill of the dead.
01:07:04Okay, I didn't want to have to admit all this.
01:07:08How did you become involved with Midsummer Mocker?
01:07:11I liked Lucas' dream.
01:07:15And I was trying to figure out how to do something positive with a property that I owned in Aspen Tallow.
01:07:23So I thought that if I sold it, I could use the proceeds as collateral.
01:07:28To join forces and help to buy the bowling club?
01:07:32That was the theory.
01:07:34But 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.
01:07:53It's an outside space for coffee events and music gigs.
01:07:56Emporium. We'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.
01:08:07That's if you don't have anyone to drink it.
01:08:09We've just needed to reduce costs in order to survive until things take off.
01:08:21By 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.
01:08:29And you assumed that no one would find out. But 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.
01:08:42You 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.
01:09:02Someone desperate to keep their dream alive.
01:09:06Dale McManus was found dead earlier today.
01:09:12I 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?
01:09:35And why?
01:09:38I wonder if we might be taking Mr. McManus's death too much at face.
01:09:42Face Failure.
01:09:43Meaning?
01:09:44Well, we know that Harry Peterson received a text message from someone wanting to meet him in the woods.
01:09:51But 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?
01:10:03Harry Peterson was the real type.
01:10:05Indeed.
01:10:07How 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.
01:10:24Interestingly, though, he did the accounts of Teddy Mulcahy.
01:10:28His father's nemesis.
01:10:31Presumably historic accounts, given that Mr. Mulcahy has been dead for years.
01:10:36I guess.
01:10:37I'll check.
01:10:40Mr. Pollock, how can I help?
01:10:47We're on our way.
01:10:50Jack Pollock.
01:10:50He says his father's been kidnapped.
01:11:00Any further work?
01:11:03Anonymous email demanding a quarter of a million pounds as a ransom.
01:11:06We'll try and trace the sender.
01:11:08Four hours to find that money.
01:11:10How am I going to do that?
01:11:11You're not.
01:11:11We don't recommend giving in to ransom demands.
01:11:14And this seems more like an act of financial desperation than anything else.
01:11:17It's easy for you to say.
01:11:18It's not your father whose life's in danger.
01:11:19If I had the money, I'd hand it over right this second.
01:11:22Can we borrow against the house?
01:11:23I've already spoken to the bank.
01:11:24There isn't the time.
01:11:25You don't have that kind of money.
01:11:26Maybe we could call him local support.
01:11:28We'd never raise enough.
01:11:29What about Hardy?
01:11:31I could ask him.
01:11:32We could ask him.
01:11:34Thanks.
01:11:35Uniform have triangulated the signal and found your father's phone.
01:11:38It's roadside on a country lane.
01:11:40You head over there.
01:11:41Yeah, in the meantime, please don't do anything without talking to us.
01:11:45I doubt there's much in the way of road cameras here.
01:11:57There might be one at the junction where the road meets the village.
01:11:59I'll get tech onto it urgently.
01:12:01One mobile phone and one discarded bowling ball.
01:12:12Is that blood?
01:12:14Actually, it's coffee.
01:12:16Yeah.
01:12:16If it's still wet, we could get Winton to do a taste test.
01:12:19I've already 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.
01:12:30My guess would be powdered instant.
01:12:33I can't just sit here and do nothing.
01:12:51Dad's out there somewhere.
01:12:56It's all my fault.
01:12:57Look, 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?
01:13:09What about them?
01:13:19Harry.
01:13:21It's me.
01:13:22It's me.
01:13:27What's the connection between the murders and the kidnapper?
01:13:31Money.
01:13:32Someone is desperate for it.
01:13:35They stole a valuable painting from Mr. Worrell,
01:13:37and now they want a quarter of a million pounds for the return of Archie Pollock.
01:13:41Why?
01:13:42Greed?
01:13:43A debt, more like.
01:13:44I think someone got into trouble and made the mistake of asking Mr. Worrell,
01:13:48who you said had money, to borrow 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.
01:14:02You know, what's really bugging me about these photos is that they're not shots of Jenny Pollock
01:14:09with Archie and Wilf in the background.
01:14:12The two men are the main subject of the pictures.
01:14:15Meaning that Jack Pollock was curious about the argument, 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.
01:14:24Well, we checked out Teddy Mulcahy's accounts, and interestingly, so was the taxman.
01:14:31Heavily in debt and still active, we're pending imminent investigation.
01:14:35So the financial clock is ticking and the net closing in?
01:14:39Who would know how to keep a dead man's accounts alive?
01:14:45Jack Pollock would.
01:14:47He hasn't kidnapped his own father, has he?
01:14:48Win, sir.
01:14:54Ah.
01:14:55Okay.
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.
01:15:03What are you doing here?
01:15:14I could ask you the same question.
01:15:16I asked you not to do anything without talking to us.
01:15:18You don't understand.
01:15:19They said to come alone.
01:15:22To, uh, use Harry's phone to transfer the money.
01:15:25Then and only then would Dad be released.
01:15:27We need to do what they say.
01:15:29Transfer the money.
01:15:30Don't.
01:15:32Look, quick, quick.
01:15:33The time's running out.
01:15:35It is indeed, Mr. Pollock.
01:15:37There are no kidnappers because there was no kidnapping, was there?
01:15:42Someone tell me what the hell is going on.
01:15:44Mr. Pollock has faked his father's kidnapping.
01:15:47Jenny, what...
01:15:48What's going on?
01:15:50What are you doing here?
01:15:50I need to know what's happening.
01:15:52Mr. Pollock here, one failed Turks and Caicos investment behind him,
01:15:57needed to do something.
01:15:58Prove himself to his father and provide for his wife.
01:16:02Was Mr. Peterson's arrival in the village the trigger,
01:16:06the dashing international businessman you couldn't compete?
01:16:10Well, you tried to, by making investments under a false name.
01:16:13Your father's nemesis, Teddy Mulcahy.
01:16:15Was that some kind of private joke to get at your father?
01:16:18Why?
01:16:22Because he wasn't there for me.
01:16:24He was never there.
01:16:27After Mum died, he was too obsessed with his stupid bowling!
01:16:30So when your fake investments went wrong, with the tax man looming,
01:16:37you asked Wilf Worrell to bail you out.
01:16:40What a mistake that was.
01:16:42He said no and started lording it over me.
01:16:45Which explains the photos.
01:16:46You were never worried how those photos looked for your father.
01:16:49I saw Wilf having words with Dad.
01:16:52I thought he was telling him about me.
01:16:54And I needed to know for sure.
01:16:55So I went back.
01:16:56But he wasn't.
01:16:57But that just made things worse.
01:16:59So you needed to silence him.
01:17:01And knowing where Mr. Worrell kept the keys,
01:17:03you went to the outhouse.
01:17:05You killed him.
01:17:07And then tried to point the finger at your nemesis,
01:17:10Harry.
01:17:11You thought H.A. might be enough.
01:17:13I wasn't thinking straight.
01:17:14I needed money, fast.
01:17:16So you stole a painting,
01:17:18accidentally assaulting your father in the process.
01:17:20And then you decide to target Harry direct.
01:17:23You used Jenny's phone to lure him to the woods only.
01:17:27That doesn't work either.
01:17:29Harry's delayed and you kill an innocent man.
01:17:33I didn't mean to kill Dale.
01:17:34He was the wrong man in the wrong place.
01:17:37You're panicked.
01:17:39You're lost.
01:17:40And then it hits you.
01:17:43The solution to everything.
01:17:45Pretend to kidnap your father.
01:17:47Demand a ransom that will clear your debts once and for all.
01:17:50Knowing that your wife would turn to Harry to pay for it.
01:17:54Before he's killed by kidnappers.
01:17:56Otherwise known as you.
01:17:59Jack?
01:18:00It should have been him.
01:18:03Stay back.
01:18:05Ross, help me.
01:18:06I'll kill you.
01:18:07Put the knife down, Jack.
01:18:09It won't help.
01:18:10I was so close.
01:18:11To sailing off into the sunset.
01:18:13I just...
01:18:14I wanted us to be happy.
01:18:18I wanted us to be together.
01:18:20I am.
01:18:22We are.
01:18:24No, no.
01:18:25You're having enough.
01:18:26I'm not.
01:18:28I've seen all your messages.
01:18:30I've seen your secret meetings.
01:18:33The fear of being caught.
01:18:35Because I didn't want you to think this.
01:18:38Right.
01:18:40You're going to run off with him.
01:18:42And live happily ever after.
01:18:43And you know what?
01:18:44I don't blame you.
01:18:46Because I can't compete with him.
01:18:50Look at me.
01:18:52Look at me.
01:18:53And tell me you weren't tempted.
01:18:54Okay, I was.
01:18:58But I didn't give in to it.
01:19:01I stayed true.
01:19:04Because I love you.
01:19:11It's true.
01:19:12She loves you, not me.
01:19:14What have you done, Jack?
01:19:17Your wife doesn't cheat.
01:19:19You just believe the gossip.
01:19:21I was a laughingstock.
01:19:24You're not.
01:19:25Nothing happened.
01:19:28I wanted it to.
01:19:30But Jenny refused.
01:19:32Even when I just wanted to invest in her with a yoga center.
01:19:35She refused that too.
01:19:36She thought it would be inappropriate.
01:19:40You had the dream already.
01:19:44You were living it.
01:19:46Oh, my God.
01:19:54Oh, my God.
01:19:54Oh, my God.
01:20:16Oh, my God.
01:20:22Oh, my God.
01:20:24So am I.
01:20:32Oh, come on.
01:20:33Everybody wants to see the trophy.
01:20:34I give you the 4x4 Maths Challenge Champion.
01:20:38Yay!
01:20:39And it was all her own work.
01:20:42It was, actually.
01:20:43We were rubbish.
01:20:44Together we have a new challenge.
01:20:47Yeah, we do indeed.
01:20:48It's a bowling match.
01:20:49These were my grandfather's pride and joy.
01:20:53Oh, and we also have to honor Harry Peterson's successful bid to buy the Midsummer Deverell
01:20:57Bowling Club.
01:20:57He plans to modernize it and keep it as a bowling club for his son to play at.
01:21:01Very good.
01:21:03They had names for their teams, didn't they?
01:21:06They did.
01:21:07There's Archie's Bowls Whisperers and Ollie's Orbitals.
01:21:11And I've been giving some thought to a name for us.
01:21:14And in every sense, you can't beat Barnaby's Bowling Bevies.
01:21:19You're comparing me to a drink.
01:21:20That's something else I'm very fond of.
01:21:21I thought of Fleur Power or the Flying Fleurs, but I'll leave it to Jamie.
01:21:31Winter Milan.
01:21:32Like this?
01:21:35Yeah.
01:21:41Oh, no.
01:21:45Come on.
01:21:45Oh, I think we did it.
01:22:06Oh, wow.
01:22:15I think the clear winner is...
01:22:18Hang on.
01:22:22That's cheating.
01:22:24Of course it's not.
01:22:25It's a bowl, isn't it?
01:22:26Oh, oh, oh.
01:22:30Help, help, help.
01:22:32Help, help.
01:22:34Help, help, help.
01:22:36Help, help.
01:22:36Help, help.
01:22:45Help, help.
01:23:04Help, help.
01:23:07You
