00:00:30Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Archie
00:00:39Need I remind you, Miss Gillen, this is a no-smoking club
00:00:43Apologies for my daughter, Wilf
00:00:45She gets the attitude from her father
00:00:47That's why I divorced him
00:00:49That and the fact you ran off with your hairdresser
00:00:51Which was devastating
00:00:52Best hairdresser I ever had, excuse me
00:00:55That's good
00:01:07Yeah, that's great
00:01:07And the players in the back, maybe with the
00:01:09Come a bit this way
00:01:11Okay, it's okay, just, yeah, that's nice
00:01:14Is that okay?
00:01:15Yeah, that's great, it's great
00:01:16Just smile a bit
00:01:17Oh, I'm so, I'm so sorry
00:01:25Excuse me, I just, sorry, sorry
00:01:32All right, Jenny, just relax
00:01:35Okay, okay, all right, let's just get it over with
00:01:38Yeah, all right, that is great
00:01:41You can polish your bowls all you like, Dale
00:01:43But we all know you're a marbles man underneath
00:01:45Archie, mate, show these amateurs how it's done
00:01:48My pleasure
00:01:49Oh, tension getting to you, isn't it?
00:02:01Never
00:02:01My beauty
00:02:07Nice one
00:02:10Monster of work
00:02:12Actually, I think mine's nearest
00:02:13How old are you, Wilf?
00:02:19Black ball closer
00:02:29Archie's team wins
00:02:30What?
00:02:31No way, are you joking?
00:02:32Fix
00:02:33They never lie
00:02:34Chloe, you know the membership rules as well as the rest of us
00:02:37Referee's decision is final
00:02:39Yeah, but my ball is closer
00:02:40Oh, he's right
00:02:41Just a bunch of cheats
00:02:43I'm sick of this farce
00:02:44Are you going to let him get away with this, Ruth?
00:02:45Leave a towel, mate
00:02:46Oh, ban him, Ruth, ban him
00:02:47Okay, let's just calm it
00:02:49It's only a knockabout
00:02:51Save your energy for the championship finals, okay?
00:02:54You
00:02:54I want a word
00:02:55All right, champ
00:03:20Bunch of losers, that one
00:03:21Lovely evening, for it
00:03:24Lovely evening, for it
00:03:24Lovely evening, for it
00:03:28Oh, thank you for coming out of this
00:03:32I will let you
00:03:33I'll have to
00:03:34Tsch Greek, thng
00:03:38I love you
00:03:39Go to these
00:03:40And we'll have you
00:03:41Maya
00:03:41Bye
00:03:49Bye
00:03:52Bye
00:03:52Bye
00:03:53Bye
00:03:53Bye
00:03:53Bye
00:03:54Bye
00:03:54Bye
00:03:54Bye
00:03:54Bye
00:03:55Bye
00:03:55Bye
00:03:56Bye
00:03:56Bye
00:03:56Bye
00:03:57Bye
00:03:57Oh, my God.
00:04:27Oh, my God.
00:04:57Oh, my God.
00:05:27Oh, my God.
00:05:28It's 18.
00:05:29Listen.
00:05:30Now, 4 times 4 equals 16 plus 4 is 20 minus the square root of 4, which is 2, equals 18.
00:05:39Oh, my God.
00:05:40Well done, darling.
00:05:41Oh, the 4-4 math challenge.
00:05:42I remember it well.
00:05:43Hmm.
00:05:4419?
00:05:45Oh, I think we've got to get to work, haven't we, Winter?
00:05:48Uh, yes, we do, Scott.
00:05:49Oh, sorry.
00:05:50Don't help.
00:05:51Get me a jacket.
00:05:554 factorial, 24 minus 4 minus 4 over 4, 19.
00:05:59She knows.
00:06:00Betty's actually up to 53, but John's more likely to let her stay up late tonight if he
00:06:04feels like he's out.
00:06:07That's top maths, that, sir.
00:06:08Well done.
00:06:09Well, thank you.
00:06:10Well done.
00:06:11I'm actually more of a Shakespeare man, really.
00:06:12Sweet.
00:06:13Sweet.
00:06:34Ah, victim is Wilfred Wilf Worrell, 80, widower, retired, antiques dealer and grounds...
00:06:42I've never really understood the fascination with bowls.
00:06:44Really?
00:06:45I love a bit of bowling.
00:06:46I just play with my granddad all the time.
00:06:48You know, it dates back to the 13th century.
00:06:50Surprisingly skilled.
00:06:51It's more than wrist action.
00:06:54Right.
00:07:07Great.
00:07:08More numbers.
00:07:10Morning, Fleur.
00:07:11Morning.
00:07:14Quite a mouthful.
00:07:15Was that to silence him?
00:07:17Whatever it was for, it wasn't the cause of death.
00:07:20That's PBI.
00:07:22Penetrating brain injury to you.
00:07:24Caused by these.
00:07:26Measuring calipers.
00:07:27Measuring calipers.
00:07:28Thrust into the nasal cavity with considerable force.
00:07:32Indications of cranial penetration and associated cerebral trauma.
00:07:37Triggering intracranial hemorrhage.
00:07:39The victim could have had them on him.
00:07:40The victim could have had them on him.
00:07:42Or they might have been taken from the outhouse over there.
00:07:50Time of death?
00:07:52Judging from the lividity of the bruising around the nostrils, I'd say we're talking early evening.
00:07:56What about these markers?
00:07:57Looks like the victim placed them there himself.
00:08:00A score?
00:08:01As in a score to settle.
00:08:03One thing at a time, Winter.
00:08:05Mobile phone?
00:08:06No sign of one.
00:08:07Or any other personal effect.
00:08:09Who found him?
00:08:10Ah.
00:08:11That would be the Dawn Chorus Yoga Club.
00:08:15Yes.
00:08:16Yoga teacher Jenny Pollock.
00:08:20Along with mother and daughter Ruth and Chloe Gillan.
00:08:23Mum Ruth is a GP and the bowling club president.
00:08:27I've met her at many a medical get-to-go.
00:08:36Ruth Gillan?
00:08:40Was Wilf Worrell a mainstay of the club?
00:08:46He was indeed.
00:08:47Too much so, really.
00:08:49In what way?
00:08:50Oh, Wilf should have retired years ago.
00:08:52He wasn't a well man.
00:08:54Thyroid issues mainly.
00:08:56And I finally got him to agree to a course of statins and beta blockers.
00:09:00He'd also reluctantly accepted that he needed some help here.
00:09:03And who might that be?
00:09:05Libby.
00:09:06Libby Trevor.
00:09:07Local horticulturalist.
00:09:08Amazing at what she does.
00:09:09And the patience of a saint with Wilf.
00:09:14Do you need to get that?
00:09:15No, it's just the surgery.
00:09:17Chasing.
00:09:22Did anyone not have patience with Wilf?
00:09:24Well, he wasn't the easiest person to be fair.
00:09:27Things got a bit heated yesterday.
00:09:30Olly Peterson wasn't happy with Wilf's refereeing.
00:09:33Because?
00:09:34I thought he'd won.
00:09:35Wilf's measurements indicated otherwise.
00:09:37Measurements made with calipers, by any chance?
00:09:39Yes.
00:09:40Lucas really kicked off.
00:09:42Accusing us all of cheating.
00:09:44Lucas who?
00:09:45Shaw.
00:09:46Runs Midsummer Moca.
00:09:48Brand new trendy coffee place.
00:09:50Not everyone's cup of tea.
00:09:52Or coffee.
00:09:53And did Mr Worrell cheat?
00:09:54And did Mr Worrell cheat?
00:09:56Well, possibly, but Lucas overreacted.
00:10:00He's intense and a bit pushy.
00:10:03Maybe it's all that caffeine.
00:10:06Most of us are open to new ideas, but Wilf, however, wasn't.
00:10:10So when Lucas got a youngster's bowling team together, Wilf resisted their entrance to the club and tried to get them thrown out.
00:10:17For what?
00:10:19Oh, anything.
00:10:20Breaking dress regulation codes, match etiquette rules, breathing, you name it.
00:10:28Why is the bowling club up for sale?
00:10:30Well, our finances are perilous. Membership's fallen off the edge of a cliff. Mainly because people insist on dying.
00:10:40Quite. Archie Pollock's on a roll.
00:10:44Championship winning captain for the last 12 years.
00:10:47I see he also won in 1926.
00:10:50Oh, his grandfather. He comes from a long line of Archies. A load of Pollocks, some might say.
00:10:56Only ever threatened by Captain Curve himself, Teddy Mulcahy, who's no longer with us, but their rivalry was legendary.
00:11:06Best not mention him in front of Archie.
00:11:08I'll try not to.
00:11:10Jenny Pollock, Chloe Gillan, DS Winter.
00:11:13Guilty as charged.
00:11:16And, er, you are?
00:11:18Er, Libby Trevor, groundswoman.
00:11:21Sorry, erm, excuse me. Sorry.
00:11:26No, excuse me, you can't stand there.
00:11:29Can you tell me what you were doing here this morning?
00:11:32I run a sunrise yoga class here twice a week.
00:11:35My mum approved it. She was keen to bring in some extra egg on you.
00:11:38Wilf opposed it, of course. Wasn't happy about us using the green.
00:11:42Wilf wasn't happy about anything.
00:11:44I'm tanquerous old goat.
00:11:45Safe to say you're not a fan, then.
00:11:47Oppressive detective skills, DS Winter.
00:11:49The Bowling Green is the only place in the area we can do it.
00:11:52It's perfect, and it's gone down well with the majority of locals.
00:11:55It's because you're insanely brilliant.
00:11:57I mean, personally, I could do without seeing Dale and his downward dog at the crack of dawn twice a week.
00:12:01But, I mean, Jenny's done more for this community than pretty much anyone else.
00:12:0781.
00:12:08Does that number mean anything to you?
00:12:10Er, someone's age, a house number, perhaps?
00:12:12No, not that I know of.
00:12:16Mr Worrell, did he own a mobile phone?
00:12:18Oh, definitely not. Old school.
00:12:20Dinosaur, more like.
00:12:21Jenny!
00:12:25Are you okay?
00:12:26I know, it just hurt. It's terrible.
00:12:28I know.
00:12:30Well, let's get you home.
00:12:32Has anyone shown interest in buying the club?
00:12:35Two bids so far. Flash Harry being one of them.
00:12:38Harry Peterson, architect, property magnate and entrepreneur.
00:12:41Sporty car, moved to the village a year ago with his son Ollie.
00:12:45The same Ollie who plays bowls.
00:12:47Ollie's sweet, whereas his dad has made no secret of his intention to expand his property empire around here.
00:12:52We figure he'll raise the club to the ground, build some modern monstrosity and sell it for millions.
00:12:57Apparently, Jack and Will thought otherwise.
00:13:00They were saying yesterday that Harry's bid is dead in the water.
00:13:03Jack?
00:13:04Oh, club accountant. Archie's son.
00:13:07He was here yesterday.
00:13:08Taking photos to promote his wife's yoga studio. I really must make a move if that's okay.
00:13:14Oh, by all means. And who is the other potential buyer you mentioned too?
00:13:19We have absolutely no idea. An anonymous bidder.
00:13:25I think it's fair to say that Mr. Worrell wasn't the most popular person in the village.
00:13:28Indeed. Generational conflict, sporting rivalry, a spat with Lucas Shaw.
00:13:32Soccer on the way to Mr. Worrell's house now. I'll follow.
00:13:36Check his financials and get on to the council.
00:13:38I want to know who's behind this anonymous bid to buy the bowling club.
00:13:41And pay a visit to Lucas Shaw at Midsomer Mocker.
00:13:44Oh, I'd love to. I'm really into my coffee at the moment, sir.
00:13:47I've become a bit of a Java junkie.
00:13:49A what?
00:13:50A roast ranger, sir.
00:13:52Bean aficionado?
00:13:53Well, keep it to yourself, Winter. I'll speak to Jack Pollock, see what he knows.
00:13:59So, where were you last night then?
00:14:02Well, never mind me. Where were you?
00:14:04Pub, then boringly tucked in bed with a buck.
00:14:06You, you, Dr. Dirty stop out. Didn't make it home unnoticed.
00:14:11Well, for your information, I went back to the surgery to a mountain of paperwork and some midnight oil.
00:14:16Ah, is that what they call it these days?
00:14:18I mean, I believe you. Millions wouldn't.
00:14:21It's not with you home alone, anyway.
00:14:23Well, you're not still holding out for that flash, Harry, are you?
00:14:26Of course not.
00:14:27Maybe a smidge.
00:14:29He's fine, he's charismatic, bloated.
00:14:31And I got on really well with his son.
00:14:33And, uh, Dale?
00:14:35Please, Mother, he's a glorified man with a van.
00:14:38He's not even a contender.
00:14:39Hi, Harry.
00:14:41Hi, ladies.
00:14:44I mean, seriously. What's not to like?
00:14:48See you later.
00:14:57Wow.
00:14:59Who died?
00:15:00Chloe, can you not?
00:15:02Positivity, please.
00:15:04There's positivity and there's delusion.
00:15:07You've got to admit, Will's death, on top of already being boycotted by 90% of the locals, it's not a good look.
00:15:13Maybe this place isn't ready for a coffee revolution.
00:15:17We'll just have to work harder, then.
00:15:19Today, Mr. Medeveral.
00:15:21Tomorrow, the world.
00:15:24If you say so, coffee man.
00:15:27I do.
00:15:29I do say so.
00:15:44There's police crawling everywhere.
00:15:46Libby, calm down.
00:15:47Did you hear what I said?
00:15:49They're all over the place.
00:15:50What are we going to do?
00:15:51I tell you what we're not going to do.
00:15:53We're not going to panic.
00:15:54We're going to stay calm and carry on as planned.
00:15:57Okay?
00:15:58Tell me, does the number 81 mean anything to you?
00:16:10Relating to Bowles, possibly?
00:16:12No.
00:16:13No, not at all.
00:16:14About the bids to buy the club.
00:16:16I gather you and Mr. Worrell no longer believe that Harry Peterson's bid is a goer.
00:16:23That's correct.
00:16:25I have a friend on the council who told me they'd reject any bid that wanted to build residential property on the land.
00:16:30Which is Mr. Peterson's plan?
00:16:33That's what he does for a living.
00:16:37I was told in confidence, but made the mistake of telling Wilf who wanted to blab it to the world.
00:16:44Which could have ruined everything.
00:16:46Does Harry Peterson know about this?
00:16:48Might Mr. Worrell have blabbed about it to him?
00:16:52Very possibly.
00:16:53Wilf was nothing if not a stirrer.
00:16:56I'll need an address for Mr. Peterson if you have it.
00:16:59Sure.
00:17:00And would Mr. Worrell blabbing be annoying for you?
00:17:04Well, it's my own fault really.
00:17:07I should have known better than to trust him.
00:17:10Can you tell me what you did last night after the game?
00:17:12Well, I've been taking photos of Jenny for her yoga and then I dropped her home and went to the Swan. A few of us did.
00:17:19These photos, were they taken around the club generally?
00:17:22Yeah. All over. Just snaps really.
00:17:25Might I see them? You might have captured something without knowing it.
00:17:30Sure. I'll send them over to you.
00:17:32Big match tomorrow.
00:17:35The match. Climax of the season.
00:17:38Gone right to the wire.
00:17:40Could be the last championship ever if the club goes.
00:17:43And potentially your 13th.
00:17:46Quite a record.
00:17:47Rivalled only by Teddy Mulcahy, I believe.
00:17:50Mulcahy. All mouth and no trousers.
00:17:53A pretender. A mountebank.
00:17:56Which is why I don't plan on letting any of those youths win tomorrow.
00:18:01Versus first, second is nowhere. Isn't that right, Jack?
00:18:04In one, Dad.
00:18:06You'll need a strong referee, I suspect.
00:18:08We will.
00:18:10Bloody selfish of wealth not to be around, if you ask me.
00:18:12Dad!
00:18:13What?
00:18:14Just saying. You look after the club, I'll sort the bowls.
00:18:21Everything all right, Mr Pollock?
00:18:23Just a twinge.
00:18:24There's something wrong with you.
00:18:25No, it's fine.
00:18:44What?
00:18:45Sure.
00:18:46No, I guess so.
00:18:48Let me open the box, never.
00:18:49I'm sure.
00:18:50Little sw passerfat.
00:18:51No.
00:18:52Let me open the Rex all ready.
00:18:53It will be great.
00:18:54It will be great.
00:18:55Let me open the smells.
00:18:56Let it paralyze.
00:18:57Let me open theã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ off screen.
00:18:58Do it.
00:18:59It is ok.
00:19:00No, it will not.
00:19:01Do there.
00:19:02I knew he will also if he gets first left.
00:19:03Give him a hole.
00:19:04It will be great.
00:19:05I knew he won no longer, man.
00:19:06The guy gets cells frozen on his car.
00:19:08So he needs to be palabra, during the camp over 6 months.
00:19:09Yes, I know.
00:19:10How did you get on at Mr. Worrell's?
00:19:30Nice cottage, full of antiques, but then he was a dealer.
00:19:35Clearly a successful one.
00:19:36His financials came back, all in good shape.
00:19:39Something, I suspect, that house clearance expert-cum-ambulance chaser Dale McManus might be interested in.
00:19:46Caught him snooping around.
00:19:47Check him out.
00:19:49Also, Mr. Worrell had an old-school landline.
00:19:52The last person to call him at five o'clock yesterday was Flash Harry Peas.
00:19:56Ah, just as well I'm about to meet him.
00:19:58I knocked, but, er...
00:20:09Is your dad here?
00:20:13Said he'd be back soon.
00:20:18You know, if you're a bit of a maths buff, maybe you can help me with something.
00:20:22Is there anything special about the number 81?
00:20:24Nine-square, three to the power of four.
00:20:30This is all about bowling?
00:20:32It is, I'm, er...
00:20:33To protect the part of the bowling ball tech.
00:20:38Accuracy is everything.
00:20:40Unless the ref's cheating.
00:20:42I take it you're referring to Mr. Worrell?
00:20:45Why might he do that, do you think?
00:20:46Pick on some breaking rules.
00:20:49Not let us book practice greens.
00:20:51He really had it in for us.
00:20:54As a result, perhaps someone had it in for him.
00:20:59Can I help?
00:21:00Yeah.
00:21:15Excuse me?
00:21:16What the hell are those for?
00:21:20Mushroom coffee.
00:21:21It's the next big thing.
00:21:23You can't just pick wild mushrooms, experiment, and sell it as coffee.
00:21:28There are rules and regulations.
00:21:29We have to do this properly.
00:21:31We'll never get investment from someone like Harry Peterson.
00:21:35Hi.
00:21:35Hey.
00:21:37DS Winter.
00:21:38Caustin CID.
00:21:39Er, what can we get you?
00:21:40How about this one?
00:21:42Parisa.
00:21:42It's a nutty bean responsibly sourced from a cooperative in Nicaragua.
00:21:46Or perhaps you fancy a Brazilian.
00:21:51Er, yes.
00:21:52Yes, maybe, um, maybe in a minute.
00:21:55Um, how, um, how's the cafe been, um, received so far?
00:21:59Wilf despised us, and generally speaking, a destination coffee shop isn't exactly top of the village wish list.
00:22:07Most people here are still wedded to powdered instant and a kettle.
00:22:10Same at the bowling club.
00:22:12Their website's like somewhere from the dark ages.
00:22:14Jack did the puzzles, Wilf did the jokes, everyone a belter.
00:22:18We joined, hoping to encourage some cross-fertilisation.
00:22:21No, we're doing okay on the cross bit.
00:22:23Less on the fertilisation.
00:22:24Huh.
00:22:26How did you get into coffee?
00:22:27Huh.
00:22:28Well, I was a barista champion.
00:22:33Er, I worked in cafes all over the world.
00:22:36Er, Madrid, Ecuador, Guatemala.
00:22:39Got tired of working for other people.
00:22:41And my family are from around here, so.
00:22:42Er, this is my dream.
00:22:45I'll do anything to make it work.
00:22:48What did you do after the game last night?
00:22:50Mr. McManus said, um, something about going to the pub.
00:22:53Yeah, a bunch of us did.
00:22:54I'll need a list.
00:22:56And, er, one of those.
00:22:59Er, yeah, yeah, sure.
00:23:02The bright kid, your son?
00:23:04Doesn't get it from me.
00:23:07Really?
00:23:07I heard that you were, er, a successful architect turned property magnate.
00:23:11I can talk the talk, but I'm no good at maths.
00:23:14Not on Ollie's league, anyway.
00:23:16You know, he's just still a teenager, but he's already been in touch with the European Space Agency about a mentorship scheme they run.
00:23:22Impressive.
00:23:23Is it just the two of you?
00:23:25It is.
00:23:27Money can buy lots of things, but it seems happiness is not one of them.
00:23:32Ollie's mum lives abroad.
00:23:33He misses her, and, er, well, he retreated into physics, quantum mechanics, and the multiverse.
00:23:41He's become quite introverted.
00:23:43And yet he's a member of the bowling club.
00:23:45Yes.
00:23:46A godsend.
00:23:47When the coffee guys wanted to recruit a youngster, Chloe Gillan took a punt on Ollie, and he hasn't looked back.
00:23:53Swapped one obsession, orbital trajectories in space, for another, lawn bowls.
00:23:58Who knew?
00:24:00He loves it.
00:24:01But he didn't love Mr. Worrell, though.
00:24:03No.
00:24:04But, to be honest, it's good for Ollie to meet old duffers like that.
00:24:08Life isn't always fair, and the sooner he learns that, the better.
00:24:14Where were you last night, around six o'clock?
00:24:18I picked Ollie up from the bowling club and then came home.
00:24:21And when did you last talk to Mr. Worrell?
00:24:23Yesterday, on the phone.
00:24:25About?
00:24:25Mainly, he wanted to gloat about how I wasn't going to win the bid.
00:24:30Something about council opposition to residential property.
00:24:33That must have been galling.
00:24:35Not really.
00:24:36Who said I was doing anything residential?
00:24:38What are your plans, then?
00:24:40My plans are confidential and, for the moment, academic.
00:24:46With all due respect, I'd prefer to keep it that way, if that's all right.
00:24:50For the time being, yes.
00:24:54Ollie?
00:24:54Everything all right?
00:24:58Teenagers, eh?
00:25:00Hormones and all that.
00:25:01Does your cell make a habit of lashing out?
00:25:07Oh, did you get me a coffee?
00:25:09No.
00:25:10No, I'm taste testing.
00:25:10Now, I get gooseberry, but I'm not getting a hint of hibiscus.
00:25:16Tastes like pencil shavings to me.
00:25:18I had no idea you ate pencils.
00:25:21I, um, I checked on Dale McManus, our house clearance expert, and he's had fines for fly-tipping and was once accused of identity theft, but nothing was ever proven.
00:25:29Interesting.
00:25:30And also, the council got back to me about an honest bidder, H. Appleby.
00:25:36Well, do some digging.
00:25:37And while you're at it, see if Harry Peterson has been involved in anything non-residential.
00:25:43Hmm, I'll do.
00:25:43Oh, also, I got you something, sir.
00:25:47It's a steam wand.
00:25:50Milk frother for your coffee.
00:25:52It aerates the milk.
00:25:55Makes it creamier.
00:25:55I'll bear that in mind.
00:26:06Fleur wants a word.
00:26:13Glad you could join.
00:26:17I'm working on the numbers.
00:26:19Do you have any cryptic word games while waiting for lab results, Fleur?
00:26:21You don't get to be head of Causton Cadaver's pubquist team without practice.
00:26:31So pay attention.
00:26:33It could be a letters to numbers code.
00:26:36A1, B2, and so on.
00:26:38So if it is, A1 would be...
00:26:41H.A.
00:26:43It could be the start of Harry.
00:26:44You're our anonymous bidder, H. Appleby.
00:26:47Whoever they may be.
00:26:48The victim held one of the markers as if he'd placed him on the ground himself.
00:26:56Was he trying to help identify his killer?
00:26:58That implies Mr. Worrell, after having caliparins thrust into his brain...
00:27:03Had time to think of the idea and execute it before dying.
00:27:07I can check, but I suspect death was instantaneous.
00:27:11It would also imply that the killer left the scene without checking the victim was dead.
00:27:16Possible, but careless.
00:27:17Okay, so alternatively...
00:27:20Well, the killer put the markers on the ground as if Mr. Worrell had done so himself.
00:27:26To point the finger?
00:27:27To someone else.
00:27:28Exactly.
00:27:29There's something odd about these photos.
00:27:33They're numbered JPEGs, but there's quite a few of them missing.
00:27:36Why wouldn't Mr. Pollock just send all of them?
00:27:38Maybe he deleted some as he went.
00:27:39Well, maybe.
00:27:41In this one, the outhouse door is locked, but it was open at the crime scene.
00:27:47Well, maybe he unlocked it after people left.
00:27:49Yeah, maybe.
00:27:51Well, someone else could have.
00:27:53Apart from Mr. Worrell, who else would have keys?
00:27:55His colleague, Libby Trevor.
00:27:56Oh, the horticulturalist with the patience of a saint.
00:28:01Let's talk to her.
00:28:02Is the yoga meeting good?
00:28:14Yeah.
00:28:14Fab.
00:28:15I'll grab coffees.
00:28:18Hi, Claude.
00:28:20Two lattes, please.
00:28:21Chat with you now, is he?
00:28:23Not Harry?
00:28:24You know the good-looking, very successful, super-minted Harry?
00:28:28No.
00:28:29Why would he be?
00:28:29Good question.
00:28:31Do you know what?
00:28:32Forget the coffees.
00:28:34Let's go.
00:28:35What is it?
00:28:36Nothing.
00:28:40Yeah, choose to have a call.
00:28:45What are you doing here?
00:28:50I have an emergency appointment, if you want to answer my calls.
00:28:53I've been busy.
00:28:54I'm not here.
00:28:55I'm not here.
00:28:57I'll see you later.
00:28:59I don't know.
00:29:01We have to be careful.
00:29:02Do we?
00:29:03Why?
00:29:03Who cares?
00:29:04Well, I do.
00:29:06And Wilf did, didn't he?
00:29:07Well, Wilf's not a problem anymore, is he?
00:29:10Look, maybe we should just leave it, you know?
00:29:15We had our fun.
00:29:17I mean, it's no big deal, is it?
00:29:19And you are that bit younger than me.
00:29:22What's that got to do with anything?
00:29:25Well, I thought, um, maybe you liked Chloe?
00:29:31Based on...
00:29:32You two flirting, are we now?
00:29:35I've heard that correction that your daughter flirting.
00:29:37She'll do for England, by the way.
00:29:38Literally anyone.
00:29:41It's absolutely fine if you do, but if that is the case, then I'd rather we drew the line now.
00:29:47I'm not into Chloe.
00:29:50Ruth.
00:29:53The last few weeks with you have meant a lot to me.
00:29:56So can I see you tonight?
00:29:59Please?
00:30:01Sure?
00:30:01Afternoon, Miss Trevor.
00:30:27May we come in?
00:30:27Yes.
00:30:29Uh, sorry about all the plants.
00:30:32They, they calm me, and I like the scents.
00:30:37Well, personally, I'm getting a rather strong aroma of vanilla.
00:30:41I don't know what that can be.
00:30:44How did you get on with Mr. Worrell?
00:30:47Wilf?
00:30:48Um, yeah, great.
00:30:50He taught me everything I know.
00:30:52And he was like a mentor to me, really.
00:30:55Especially when I first moved into the area.
00:30:57And when was that?
00:30:58Four years ago this summer.
00:31:00I was on my own.
00:31:02I fell in with the bowling brigade.
00:31:04And I wanted to firm that up somehow.
00:31:06So I, I became the groundswoman.
00:31:09I gather Mr. Worrell could be quite difficult.
00:31:11Wilf?
00:31:13No, not at all.
00:31:14Who told you that?
00:31:16Ruth Gillan said he wasn't the easiest person to work for.
00:31:19Well, he was great.
00:31:22I mean, working with someone from a different generation has its challenges, right?
00:31:27The, um, the outhouse at the bowling club, I assume you have a set of keys?
00:31:33Yes.
00:31:34Who else has?
00:31:35Uh, no one.
00:31:37Just me and Wilf.
00:31:38Why?
00:31:38Because we believe whoever killed him might have had access to the outhouse.
00:31:42Maybe Wilf just left it open?
00:31:44We heard that a number of you went to the Swan last night.
00:31:47Would you all come and go at the same time?
00:31:48Sure.
00:31:49Oh, apart from Dale.
00:31:51Yeah, he loved Dale.
00:31:53Did he now?
00:32:00Dale didn't say anything about leaving the pub earlier when I asked him.
00:32:02Keep digging.
00:32:03Likewise, Miss Trevor.
00:32:05She's on edge.
00:32:06She's lying about something.
00:32:07Don't, tell her.
00:32:23And he did all the two.
00:32:24Let's find it.
00:32:25Bye.
00:32:26Bye.
00:32:26Bye.
00:32:26Bye.
00:32:26Bye.
00:32:27Bye.
00:32:32Bye.
00:32:32Bye.
00:32:33Bye.
00:32:34Bye.
00:32:34Oh, my God.
00:33:04Oh, my God.
00:33:34Oh, my God.
00:34:04Oh, my God.
00:34:34Don't remember much, to be honest.
00:34:37Try and remember if you can, Dad. It's important.
00:34:40I was walking into the living room, and next thing I know, you're all here.
00:34:48Do you recall seeing anyone? Did you notice anything untoward?
00:34:53Just that the painting that was on the wall was missing.
00:34:59Wilf loved that painting.
00:35:01And what exactly were you doing here?
00:35:03Wilf was a good friend. I came to pay my respects.
00:35:07How did you get in?
00:35:08The front door was open.
00:35:10Didn't you think that was odd?
00:35:12No, not really.
00:35:14Wilf could be forgetful.
00:35:15I'm sorry, but I think we need to take Archie to hospital just to get him checked over.
00:35:20Jack?
00:35:20Yeah, I agree.
00:35:21No, no hospital. The paramedic said that I'm fine.
00:35:24I just want to go home.
00:35:26I need a good night's sleep before the match.
00:35:28Maybe we should think about cancelling the match, Dad.
00:35:30It's not like you're up against a Teddy McCartney.
00:35:32Never mind him, and don't be such a loser, Jack.
00:35:35Your mother would turn in her grave if I didn't play.
00:35:38Would she, though, really?
00:35:39Yes, she would, and don't you ever forget it.
00:35:42First is first, and second is nowhere.
00:35:53Which reminds me, Jenny, we'll need a referee for tomorrow,
00:35:56as someone who understands how important it is to get the right result.
00:36:00I'll do my best, but I'm not Wilf.
00:36:06Your father claims to compete in your mother's memory, but you don't think so?
00:36:11No, he competes to prove he's the man.
00:36:13Got to see off the rivals.
00:36:15Like Teddy Mulcahy?
00:36:17A rival in every sense.
00:36:19Meaning?
00:36:20The whole village knew Teddy carried a torch for Mum.
00:36:23I don't think there was anything in it, but after she'd passed, beating him mattered more than ever.
00:36:29More than being there for his son?
00:36:35I guess.
00:36:35There was no sign of a break-in.
00:36:46The back door was locked, but this door was open.
00:36:49It was when Archie Pollock arrived.
00:36:51It was definitely locked when I was here earlier.
00:36:52I checked.
00:36:53Meaning whoever assaulted Mr. Pollock had a set of keys.
00:36:58Maybe the killer took them from Mr. Worrell at the bowling club.
00:37:01How was this called in?
00:37:04999.
00:37:05No name given.
00:37:06Unusual for a killer to bring 999.
00:37:09Unless whoever did this isn't our killer.
00:37:11Maybe Mr. Pollock just disturbed a burglar stealing a painting.
00:37:15Like, for example, the house clearance expert that was sniffing around the cottage earlier.
00:37:19Speculation, Winter, but let's pay Mr. McManus a visit.
00:37:23I just want to have a quick look round.
00:37:26Archie Pollock said that he came here to pay his respects.
00:37:29Seems like an odd thing to do.
00:37:30Especially given that when I saw him earlier, he seemed more concerned about his good friend not being able to referee tomorrow than he was about him being dead.
00:37:38So he didn't come here to pay his respects.
00:37:41Then why was he here?
00:37:42Yeah.
00:37:42Yeah.
00:37:53No, I can do the job.
00:38:09It's got to be done by tomorrow afternoon.
00:38:10I'm tied up in the morning.
00:38:12Okay.
00:38:13Okay.
00:38:15I'll do it as soon as I can.
00:38:17Deal.
00:38:20I need a word.
00:38:20The, um, quality pieces that you said Wilf Worrell owned, that you were curious about, did that include a painting?
00:38:27Yeah, a few.
00:38:28But one that was definitely worth a few, Bob, yeah.
00:38:30The one in the kitchen?
00:38:32Is that what you were gawping at through the window when I saw you?
00:38:34No.
00:38:35Tell me, if your job is being familiar with objects and their valuations, how much is that painting worth?
00:38:41An auction.
00:38:42Who knows?
00:38:43For insurance purposes, it's got to be in the region of 10k, maybe more.
00:38:46Tempting.
00:38:47And it's just been stolen.
00:38:48And whoever stole it assaulted Archie Pollock.
00:38:51I get it.
00:38:52You think I took the painting and then assaulted Archie?
00:38:55If I'd stolen it, would I just tell you it was worth 10k?
00:38:58You might if it was worth more.
00:39:00You'll be my guest in check.
00:39:01I'm sure you will anyway.
00:39:05Anything else?
00:39:06If not, I'd like to go home.
00:39:08There is something else, actually.
00:39:09When I asked you where you were last night, you said you were at the pub.
00:39:12I was.
00:39:13You left early.
00:39:14Where'd you go?
00:39:15Home.
00:39:15Home.
00:39:17I was tired.
00:39:19Can I go now?
00:39:20Oh, my God.
00:39:50Honestly, Jamie, I love it.
00:40:03I was practising all last night,
00:40:06which kept John and I awake,
00:40:07trying to catch up with Betty on the four-fours.
00:40:09I think 73's the closest we've come to divorce.
00:40:12Right, what do you think?
00:40:17That's pretty good.
00:40:18Oh, here's Einstein.
00:40:19Oh, morning, sir.
00:40:21Jamie's just been telling me all about grinders and tumpers.
00:40:23Have you now?
00:40:24Well, I hate to interrupt coffee all in winter,
00:40:26but we have work to do.
00:40:28Are you planning a holiday, sir?
00:40:30Uh, research, actually.
00:40:33Something Jack Pollock mentioned about starting a new life.
00:40:37Several developments overnight, sir.
00:40:39Harry Peterson doesn't just do residential.
00:40:41He's a partner in a chain of healthcare centres across Europe.
00:40:45Also, he's trying to buy some woodland on the edge of the village,
00:40:48but the application doesn't say what for.
00:40:50The bowling club and woodland.
00:40:51He clearly wants to make his mark.
00:40:53As for the other bidder,
00:40:54H is for Holly Appleby,
00:40:56and she's proving quite elusive.
00:40:57All I can find is a P.O. box in Midsummer Parva.
00:41:00Well, find out when she got the P.O. box.
00:41:02Yeah, we'll do so.
00:41:03Also, there was a message on Wilford's answer machine
00:41:06that you need to hear.
00:41:07It was left by Dale McManus two days ago.
00:41:10I'll keep this brief.
00:41:12I'm sick of it, and I've told you loads.
00:41:13Back off roof, you're a dead man.
00:41:17Prophetic, to say the least.
00:41:26Get him, Tiger.
00:41:28And Ollie, if you don't win, it's okay.
00:41:31Right?
00:41:31I heard about the assault.
00:41:50Are you okay?
00:41:52Perfectly fine.
00:41:53Thanks to you.
00:41:54Thanks to you.
00:42:01Enjoyed last night?
00:42:03Me too.
00:42:05And now I'm tired of hiding.
00:42:07Not that gun.
00:42:09I had a fault this morning.
00:42:12We'll just go somewhere else.
00:42:13Start fresh.
00:42:15I'm serious.
00:42:17Are you playing games with me?
00:42:19No.
00:42:21After this, I've got a job to do,
00:42:23then I'm free.
00:42:26What'd you say?
00:42:27What are we waiting for?
00:42:28Oi!
00:42:29Dale!
00:42:30Chop, chop!
00:42:31You need to get your eye in.
00:42:34Archie, mate.
00:42:35How's the head all right?
00:42:39Check with Jack Pollock about the rest of the pictures he took.
00:42:42The ones he didn't send us.
00:42:44Yeah, will do, sir.
00:42:50Everything all right?
00:42:51Oh, just worried about Archie, that's all.
00:42:54Tell me, how far do you think he'd go to win today?
00:42:58Oh, as far as needs be.
00:42:59Well, that's what worries me.
00:43:02The medication you prescribed for Mr. Worrell, you mentioned statins and beta blockers.
00:43:08Yeah, that's right.
00:43:09If someone else took them, would they, for example, help with an arm tremor?
00:43:13Well, they might, although taking someone else's medication is dangerous.
00:43:21And illegal.
00:43:27Their school, refereeing duties to attend to.
00:43:30Yeah, I'll break a leg.
00:43:31Actually, Jenny.
00:43:32Nothing.
00:43:43Ah, Mr. Pollock.
00:43:44All those files that you sent us, some of them are missing.
00:43:47Were they?
00:43:48Well, I might have deleted some.
00:43:50Sure, but we'd still like to retrieve them if we can.
00:43:51Okay, can I get them to you later?
00:43:53We can do it now.
00:43:54Just, um, air drop them to me.
00:43:57Yeah, I'm not sure I know how to do that.
00:44:00Back to show you.
00:44:00Have you taken Will Smith's?
00:44:20Apart from being incredibly irresponsible, you do know that's essentially dumbly.
00:44:24Should have given me a prescription, then.
00:44:26I have my reputation to think of.
00:44:27So do I, and mine's worth more than yours.
00:44:30Especially since Wolf told me all about you and Dale.
00:44:34Right, Dale.
00:44:55Hudson.
00:44:56All these orbitals, you get to choose ends.
00:45:02Would you east-west, please?
00:45:04Better lie the land.
00:45:05It'll take more than that.
00:45:07Archie, your Bulls Whisperers gets to choose who starts.
00:45:11They can.
00:45:12Right, let's get ready.
00:45:13Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
00:46:04but you were right to check the photos by the way was the Jack Pollock didn't
00:46:28manage to send us all have one striking thing in common they all show Archie Pollock arguing
00:46:36with Will Forrell yeah question is what about let's speak to our bowling legend as soon
00:46:43as this match ends we're on the deciding end now
00:46:58I'll see you next time
00:47:28That looks good.
00:47:58That looks good.
00:48:28And the winner is...
00:48:36Yes!
00:48:37Yes!
00:48:38Yes!
00:48:39Yes!
00:48:40Shot me!
00:48:41Absolute world!
00:48:42Ice cold!
00:48:44Go on, boy!
00:48:46Here he comes.
00:48:47What was I meant to do?
00:48:48Look, you did the right thing.
00:48:49You are no daughter-in-law of mine!
00:48:50Don't know why you married her.
00:48:52Will you speak to Archie Pollock?
00:48:54Do you speak to Archie Pollock?
00:48:55I'll talk to Dale McManus.
00:48:56I will do.
00:48:57Will they?
00:48:58I will do.
00:48:59Will they?
00:49:00I will do.
00:49:01I will do.
00:49:02I will do.
00:49:03I will do.
00:49:04I will do.
00:49:05I will do.
00:49:06I will do.
00:49:07I will do.
00:49:08I will do.
00:49:09Will you speak to Archie Pollock?
00:49:10I will talk to Dale McManus.
00:49:11I will do.
00:49:12Will they?
00:49:13I will do.
00:49:14I will do.
00:49:15I will do.
00:49:16I will do.
00:49:17I will do.
00:49:36Where is Mr. Pollock Senior?
00:49:37He stormed off.
00:49:38Not out front, he didn't?
00:49:39There's a back exit.
00:49:40There's a back exit. I think he wanted to avoid people.
00:50:10There's a back exit.
00:50:40There's a back exit.
00:51:10Harry Peterson found the body, called it in, and then went home.
00:51:19You know, you'll need a word.
00:51:22I'm guessing you're familiar with the identity of the bookman.
00:51:30I am. Dale McManus. Was it an accident?
00:51:36Hard to be sure, but we're checking the crane cabin for prints.
00:51:41I'll need to confirm that preliminary indications suggest cause of death was a combination of brunt trauma to the head and compression of the chest area, leading to pneumothorax.
00:51:52Not pleasant. Noticed anything missing?
00:51:58It's a van. Perhaps the killer took it.
00:52:01I'll put a marker on its circulator trace.
00:52:04What we do have, though, about 30 metres over there, is a large collection of white goods.
00:52:08Fridge freezer, washing machine, the whole lot.
00:52:11Fly tipping.
00:52:11Mr. Peterson.
00:52:22It was you who found Dale McManus's body, is that right?
00:52:24Yes, that's right.
00:52:25Just passing, were you?
00:52:27So soon, after your son's finest hour at the bowling club, seems a bit strange.
00:52:31I'm interested in buying that plot of woodland.
00:52:34I go there sometimes to think over my potential investment.
00:52:37And you just happened across Mr. McManus's body?
00:52:40That's correct, yes.
00:52:41Mr. Peterson, we can confiscate your phone and your computer and find out the real reason you went there,
00:52:47or you could save us some time and just tell us the truth.
00:52:54I was due to meet Jenny Pollock.
00:52:57I'm thinking of building a yoga centre there that she might run.
00:53:01That's very generous of you.
00:53:03Not at all.
00:53:03I'm a businessman.
00:53:04She's very good at what she does.
00:53:06It would be a sound investment.
00:53:08I see.
00:53:09Did Mr. McManus have anything to do with this plan?
00:53:13No, nothing at all.
00:53:14I was late getting there after celebrating with Ollie, and when I arrived, he was just lying there.
00:53:20So if you went to meet Mrs. Pollock, why wasn't she there?
00:53:23I don't know.
00:53:25She texted me to meet her there straight after the final.
00:53:28I didn't send a text to Hardy.
00:53:30Mr. Peterson definitely received one.
00:53:32We saw it.
00:53:38No text, but you could have deleted it.
00:53:41I didn't.
00:53:42Then someone else must have.
00:53:43Who else would have had access to your phone?
00:53:46Presumably you have a passcode.
00:53:481234.
00:53:50Guessable.
00:53:51But anyway, I always had my phone on me.
00:53:53The text was sent at 1124, which is around the time the bowling final was due to start.
00:53:58Did you have your phone on you then?
00:54:01Actually, no.
00:54:02It was in my bag, which I left in the outhouse.
00:54:04So it could have been accessed there by anyone at the bowling match?
00:54:09Yeah, I suppose.
00:54:10This business venture you might be embarking on with Harry Peterson, is it public knowledge?
00:54:15What business venture?
00:54:16I think that answers my question.
00:54:18It's nothing, Jack.
00:54:19Really.
00:54:21Harry's thinking of buying some land and setting up a yoga centre.
00:54:24He has some experience in that area.
00:54:26Healthcare centres across Europe, etc.
00:54:29Exactly.
00:54:29What's that got to do with you?
00:54:31He asked me if I wanted to run it.
00:54:33What?
00:54:33And you didn't tell me because...
00:54:35Because there's nothing to tell.
00:54:37Look, I'm not going to do it.
00:54:39I don't want to get into business with Harry.
00:54:40He's a non-starter.
00:54:44Mr Pollock, the photographs that you didn't send us to begin with showed your father and
00:54:51Mr Worrell arguing.
00:54:52Do you know what about?
00:54:53No, I don't.
00:54:55Was not sending us the photos just an oversight?
00:54:57Or did you think they might implicate your father?
00:55:03I was trying to protect him.
00:55:05Because you think he might have killed Mr Worrell?
00:55:07No, of course not.
00:55:08I just...
00:55:08I was worried, I guess.
00:55:10I knew it didn't look good.
00:55:14I know what they were arguing about.
00:55:17Archie told me about it last night as part of trying to get me to cheat on his behalf.
00:55:22He asked Wilf if he could have some of his meds to Cammy's arm.
00:55:26Wilf said no.
00:55:27So, Mr Pollock stole them after Mr Worrell was killed.
00:55:32Where is your father now?
00:55:34He refuses to be under the seam roof as me.
00:55:36He's out walking.
00:55:37He'll be back soon.
00:55:38He'll calm down.
00:55:44Archie Pollock isn't going to calm down anytime soon.
00:55:47Winning the bulls meant too much to him.
00:55:49Something to do with unresolved grief about the death of his wife.
00:55:53What do you make of Mr and Mrs Pollock?
00:55:55I'm not sure.
00:55:56If it's just about a yoga centre, they don't see why Mrs Pollock didn't just tell her husband.
00:56:00Well, maybe she knew he'd be suspicious.
00:56:01I mean, she could be lying to cover her tracks.
00:56:04What about Harry Peterson?
00:56:05Well, we can't rule him out.
00:56:06He wouldn't be the first murderer to pretend to have found the body.
00:56:09We can't rule out Archie Pollock either.
00:56:11Keep digging on the Pollock family.
00:56:13It finances, background, everything.
00:56:15Yeah, we'll do.
00:56:16Do you know what Dale was planning on doing after the final?
00:56:18Um, he said he had a job to do, that's all.
00:56:21We needed to talk to him about a message he left on Mr Worrell's answer machine.
00:56:26You were mentioned in that message.
00:56:27We need to know what it was about.
00:56:32What is it, Mum?
00:56:33Dale and I were seeing each other.
00:56:36What?
00:56:39So that's where you were two nights ago?
00:56:41The night Mr Worrell was killed?
00:56:43Yes, me and Dale met up.
00:56:45That would explain why you left the pub early.
00:56:49Why not just say?
00:56:51You could have told me.
00:56:52No, I couldn't.
00:56:53I didn't want it to be public knowledge.
00:56:56Why was that?
00:56:57Chloe's dad ran off with a younger woman.
00:57:01And I was very publicly humiliated and devastated.
00:57:06And even more publicly, a vocal opponent to inappropriately aged relationships.
00:57:13Dale was hardly a babe in arms.
00:57:15He was in his thirties.
00:57:17I'm in my fifties.
00:57:19But also, I just, I didn't want my private life to be the talk of the village again.
00:57:24I hated that.
00:57:26So, I wasn't comfortable going public until I was completely sure about Dale.
00:57:32And were you?
00:57:35Yes.
00:57:36I was now.
00:57:37But when Mr Worrell found out about you two, he threatened to blap.
00:57:42Oh, and some.
00:57:44Wilf was old school.
00:57:46Disapproved.
00:57:47Loved having something over us.
00:57:49Famous for it.
00:57:50Radio Wilf, we called him.
00:57:52And no secret was safe.
00:57:53He loved seeing my discomfort, reveled in it.
00:57:56He said the only thing he enjoyed more than dealing antiques was dealing in secrets.
00:58:00And Dale?
00:58:01The lovable, lovable hothead that he was.
00:58:06He hated seeing me being manipulated.
00:58:10So, he left a message telling Wilf to keep quiet.
00:58:14His wording was quite severe.
00:58:17That was just Dale being protective.
00:58:20He went in a bit heavy.
00:58:21Didn't mean anything by it.
00:58:24He didn't kill him, if that's what you're thinking.
00:58:27I don't know what you're so worried about, Mum.
00:58:29Not the only one round here misbehaving.
00:58:31And why, um, who else is?
00:58:33Well, Harry and Jenny, for starters.
00:58:37Saw them having a lover's tiff out in the woods.
00:58:39But they say that they were discussing a joint business venture.
00:58:42Believe me, what I saw was no business talk.
00:58:45I'm surprised.
00:58:46I thought she'd seen him off.
00:58:47Seen him off?
00:58:48In what way?
00:58:49Well, when Harry moved in, he made no secret of the fact that he was attracted to Jenny.
00:58:54It was the talk of the village.
00:58:55Like Jack's mum and Teddy Mokahi all over again.
00:58:59Jenny fobbed him off.
00:58:59At least we thought she did.
00:59:02There was something Mr. Peterson said when he can't buy happiness.
00:59:08Maybe he was talking about Jenny.
00:59:10How did Jack Pollock handle all this?
00:59:12Jack's Jack.
00:59:13He just lets these things roll over him.
00:59:16Sir, news on our anonymous second bidder, Holly Appleby.
00:59:46She started the P.O. Box four years ago.
00:59:48A lot of falls in the ether at the moment.
00:59:52The 4-4 challenge.
00:59:53Four years Holly Appleby has had her P.O. Box.
00:59:56And it's four years since Libby Trevor moved to the area.
01:00:00Before that, Holly Appleby lived in Asperntallow.
01:00:03She went through a messy divorce.
01:00:04Ended up in the courts.
01:00:05But why open a P.O. Box?
01:00:07To protect her anonymity when she moved on, perhaps?
01:00:11Interestingly, Libby Trevor said she moved here on her own.
01:00:15Do you think that maybe Holly Appleby changed her name to Libby Trevor?
01:00:18Possibly, but why wouldn't Assistant Groundswoman put in a bid to buy the bowling club?
01:00:23Because she loves her jog.
01:00:25Well, you say that, but if that's the case, what are all these bowling balls still doing out here?
01:00:29Why wouldn't Libby Trevor put them away after the final?
01:00:33Unless she left in a hurry.
01:00:35Busy?
01:00:52Oh, er, what?
01:00:53No, I was just sorting.
01:00:56Mind if we take a look in the greenhouse?
01:01:03Hmm.
01:01:04Vanilla.
01:01:05That's not earth on your hands, is it?
01:01:12It's vanilla-scented coffee.
01:01:15And this is the real Midsummer Mocha.
01:01:18Time to come clean, Holly.
01:01:22It is Holly, isn't it?
01:01:24Hello?
01:01:45Hello?
01:01:46Belle, is that you?
01:02:11Cheers, man. Thank you.
01:02:16Hey, which one do you want to try this time?
01:02:19Something authentic would be good.
01:02:21Okay. What can I hit you with?
01:02:24Colombian? Guatemalan?
01:02:26Actually, you can hit me with the truth
01:02:28and fill me in about Dale McManus blackmailing you.
01:02:32Or I can introduce you to the Causton CID coffee machine,
01:02:35which is about as authentic as you are.
01:02:37My marriage was abusive.
01:02:50But I finally got out of it
01:02:52and I started over in Midsomer, Deverell.
01:02:55Changing your name
01:02:56and trying to make sure your ex couldn't track you down.
01:02:59Libby started out as Liberty,
01:03:02a sign of my new freedom.
01:03:05All I wanted to do was belong
01:03:10and I thought that the bowling club would do that.
01:03:15But Mr. Worrell made it difficult.
01:03:17Wolf was a bully.
01:03:19Which wasn't good for me
01:03:20because it reminded me of...
01:03:24of what I had fought so hard to escape from.
01:03:29Earlier, you were very complimentary about Mr. Worrell.
01:03:35You said he was like a mentor to you.
01:03:37Why lie?
01:03:38I'm sorry.
01:03:39I guess...
01:03:40I guess I didn't want to speak ill of the dead.
01:03:45I didn't want to have to admit all this.
01:03:49How did you become involved with Midsomer Mocker?
01:03:51I liked Lucas's dream
01:03:54and I was trying to figure out
01:03:57how to do something positive
01:04:00with a property that I owned in Aspen Tallow.
01:04:03I thought that if I sold it,
01:04:06I could use the proceeds as collateral.
01:04:08To join forces and help to buy the bowling club.
01:04:11That was the theory.
01:04:15But in practice, it's proving kind of different.
01:04:20That's...
01:04:21That's the thing with dreams.
01:04:23They don't always come true.
01:04:27With Libby's backing,
01:04:28the plan is to turn the bowling club
01:04:30into a coffee emporium
01:04:31with an outside space
01:04:33for coffee events and music gigs.
01:04:34Emporium.
01:04:35We've hardly won over the hearts of mine so far.
01:04:38We just need time.
01:04:39You can make the best coffee in the world,
01:04:42source the best growers,
01:04:44use the finest beans...
01:04:45That's if you don't have anyone to drink it.
01:04:49We've seen your setup in Libby's greenhouse.
01:04:52Everything here is fake.
01:04:54We just needed to reduce costs
01:04:56in order to survive.
01:04:58Until things take off.
01:04:59By importing the cheapest beans that you can find.
01:05:02Probably not ethically sourced.
01:05:03And roasting them yourself?
01:05:05It's not going to be forever.
01:05:06And you assume that no one will find out.
01:05:10But Dale McManus did.
01:05:12I've accessed his emails.
01:05:14He found out what you and Libby are up to
01:05:16and he's been trying to extort money from you.
01:05:18Money I haven't got.
01:05:20You might if you broke into
01:05:21Wilf Warrell's house and stole a painting.
01:05:24Did Wilf
01:05:25find out your little secret too?
01:05:27What?
01:05:28No.
01:05:28Look, I didn't like Wilf.
01:05:31Wilf didn't like me,
01:05:32but I didn't steal any painting.
01:05:34What do you think I am?
01:05:35A fraud.
01:05:37Someone desperate to keep their dream alive.
01:05:41Dale McManus was found dead earlier today.
01:05:44I swear I don't know anything about them.
01:05:55Lucas Shaw?
01:05:56Mm.
01:05:56He's admitted fraud,
01:05:58but he's adamant that he didn't kill anyone
01:05:59and I think he's telling the truth.
01:06:01He's misguided,
01:06:02but he isn't a killer.
01:06:03What about Libby Trevor?
01:06:05I don't think she's killed anyone either.
01:06:07So who did kill Dale McManus?
01:06:09And why?
01:06:10I wonder if we might be taking
01:06:14Mr. McManus' death too much at face value.
01:06:16Meaning?
01:06:18We know that Harry Peterson
01:06:20received a text message from someone
01:06:22wanting to meet him in the woods,
01:06:24but he was delayed by the match celebrations
01:06:27with his son.
01:06:29So what if Mr. McManus
01:06:31in the woods to dump white goods
01:06:33was just in the wrong place at the wrong time?
01:06:35Harry Peterson was the real talk.
01:06:37Indeed.
01:06:38How are we doing
01:06:40with the Pollock family background?
01:06:43Financials are interesting.
01:06:44Accounts are all in order.
01:06:46But you were right
01:06:47to look into the Turks and Caicos.
01:06:48Some years ago,
01:06:49Jack Pollock lost a whole pile of money
01:06:51in an investment there.
01:06:52Apart from that,
01:06:54everything's above board.
01:06:56Interestingly though,
01:06:57he did the accounts of Teddy Mulcahy.
01:07:00His father's nemesis.
01:07:03And presumably historic accounts,
01:07:04given that Mr. Mulcahy
01:07:05has been dead for years.
01:07:07I guess.
01:07:07I'll check.
01:07:11Mr. Pollock,
01:07:12how can I help?
01:07:18We're on our way.
01:07:20Jack Pollock.
01:07:22He says his father's been kidnapped.
01:07:30Any further word?
01:07:32Anonymous email demanding
01:07:34a quarter of a million pounds
01:07:35as a ransom.
01:07:35We'll try and trace the sender.
01:07:38Four hours to find that money.
01:07:39How am I going to do that?
01:07:40You're not.
01:07:41We don't recommend
01:07:41giving in to ransom demands.
01:07:43And this seems more like
01:07:44an act of financial desperation
01:07:45than anything else.
01:07:46It's easy for you to say.
01:07:47It's not your father
01:07:47whose life's in danger.
01:07:48If I had the money,
01:07:49I'd hand it over right this second.
01:07:50Can we borrow against the house?
01:07:52I've already spoken to the bank.
01:07:53There isn't the time.
01:07:53We don't have that kind of money.
01:07:55Maybe we could call
01:07:56local support.
01:07:57We'd never raise enough.
01:07:58What about Hattie?
01:07:59I could ask him.
01:08:01We could ask him.
01:08:02Thanks.
01:08:03Uniform have triangulated the signal
01:08:05and found your father's phone.
01:08:06It's roadside on a country lane.
01:08:08Head over there.
01:08:09In the meantime,
01:08:10please don't do anything
01:08:11without talking to us.
01:08:21I doubt there's much
01:08:22in the way of road cameras here.
01:08:24There might be one at the junction
01:08:25where the road meets the village.
01:08:26Get tech onto it urgently.
01:08:34One mobile phone
01:08:36and one discarded bowling ball.
01:08:39Is that blood?
01:08:40Actually, it's coffee.
01:08:42If it's still wet,
01:08:43we could get winter
01:08:44to do a taste test.
01:08:45I've already done it.
01:08:46We'll do a GCMS test
01:08:48in the lab to make sure,
01:08:50but I did the old PTT.
01:08:53Pipette tongue taste.
01:08:56My guess would be
01:08:57powdered instant.
01:09:11I can't just sit here
01:09:13and do nothing.
01:09:16Dad's out there somewhere.
01:09:21It's all my fault.
01:09:25Look, I don't like the idea,
01:09:26but I think we have to do
01:09:27what you suggested.
01:09:30Ask Harry.
01:09:31What about the police?
01:09:33What about them?
01:09:33Harry, it's me.
01:09:45Harry, it's me.
01:09:45What's the connection between the murders
01:09:53and the kidnappers?
01:09:54Money.
01:09:55Someone is desperate for it.
01:09:57They stole a valuable painting
01:09:58from Mr. Worrell
01:10:00and now they want
01:10:00a quarter of a million pounds
01:10:01for the return of Archie Pollock.
01:10:04Why?
01:10:05Greed?
01:10:06A debt, more like.
01:10:07I think someone got into trouble
01:10:08and made the mistake
01:10:09of asking Mr. Worrell,
01:10:10who you said had money,
01:10:12to borrow some.
01:10:12Mr. Worrell said no
01:10:14because he's an old curmudgeon.
01:10:15Who likes nothing better
01:10:16than dealing in other people's secrets.
01:10:18He threatens to tell the world
01:10:20and so needs to be silenced.
01:10:23You know,
01:10:24what's really bugging me
01:10:25about these photos
01:10:26is that they're not shots
01:10:29of Jenny Pollock
01:10:30with Archie and Wilf
01:10:32in the background.
01:10:33The two men
01:10:33are the main subject
01:10:35of the pictures.
01:10:36You know that Jack Pollock
01:10:37was curious about the argument,
01:10:38which was just about meds.
01:10:40He said he didn't know
01:10:41what it was about,
01:10:42but maybe he thought
01:10:43they were arguing
01:10:44about something else.
01:10:45Well, we checked out
01:10:46Teddy Mulcahy's accounts
01:10:48and interestingly,
01:10:49so was the taxman.
01:10:51Heavily in debt
01:10:52and still active
01:10:53where pending
01:10:54imminent investigation.
01:10:55So the financial clock
01:10:56is ticking
01:10:57and the net closing in?
01:10:58Who would know
01:10:59how to keep
01:11:00a dead man's accounts alive?
01:11:04Jack Pollock would.
01:11:06He hasn't kidnapped
01:11:07his own father, has he?
01:11:10Winter.
01:11:13Ah, okay.
01:11:15Yeah, thanks.
01:11:16Patrol have sighted
01:11:17Dale McManus's van
01:11:18in a field
01:11:19next to the woods.
01:11:20Let's go.
01:11:31What are you doing here?
01:11:32I could ask you
01:11:33the same question.
01:11:34I asked you not to do anything
01:11:35without talking to us.
01:11:36You don't understand.
01:11:37They said to come alone.
01:11:38to use Harry's phone
01:11:42to transfer the money.
01:11:43Then and only then
01:11:43would Dad be released.
01:11:44We need to do what they say.
01:11:46Transfer the money.
01:11:49Don't.
01:11:49Look, quick, quick.
01:11:50The time's running out.
01:11:52It is indeed,
01:11:53Mr. Pollock.
01:11:54There are no kidnappers
01:11:56because there was
01:11:56no kidnapping,
01:11:57was there?
01:11:58Someone tell me
01:11:59what the hell is going on.
01:12:00Mr. Pollock has faked
01:12:02his father's kidnapping.
01:12:04Jenny, what?
01:12:05What's going on?
01:12:06What are you doing here?
01:12:07I need to know
01:12:07what's happening.
01:12:08Mr. Pollock here,
01:12:09one failed Turks
01:12:11and Caicos investment
01:12:12behind him,
01:12:13needed to do something.
01:12:15Improve himself to his father
01:12:16and provide for his wife.
01:12:18Was Mr. Peterson's
01:12:20arrival in the village
01:12:21the trigger,
01:12:22the dashing
01:12:22international businessman
01:12:23you couldn't compete?
01:12:25Well, you tried to
01:12:26by making investments
01:12:27under a false name.
01:12:28Your father's nemesis,
01:12:29Teddy Mulcahy.
01:12:30Was that some kind
01:12:31of private joke
01:12:32to get at your father?
01:12:33Why?
01:12:37Because he wasn't
01:12:38there for me.
01:12:39He was never there.
01:12:41After Mum died,
01:12:42he was too obsessed
01:12:43with his stupid bowling.
01:12:46So when your fake investments
01:12:47went wrong
01:12:48with the tax man looming,
01:12:51you asked Wilf Worrell
01:12:52to bail you out.
01:12:54What a mistake that was.
01:12:56He said no
01:12:56and started
01:12:57lording it over me.
01:12:58Which explains the photos.
01:12:59You were never worried
01:13:00how those photos
01:13:02looked for your father.
01:13:03I saw Wilf
01:13:04having words with Dad.
01:13:05I thought he was
01:13:05telling him about me.
01:13:07And I needed to know
01:13:07for sure.
01:13:08So I went back.
01:13:09But he wasn't.
01:13:10But that just
01:13:11made things worse.
01:13:12So you needed
01:13:12to silence him.
01:13:13And knowing where
01:13:14Mr. Worrell kept the keys,
01:13:15you went to the outhouse.
01:13:18You killed him.
01:13:19And then tried
01:13:20to point the finger
01:13:21at your nemesis,
01:13:22Harry.
01:13:23You thought
01:13:24H.A.
01:13:24might be enough.
01:13:25I wasn't thinking straight.
01:13:26I needed money fast.
01:13:28So you stole a painting,
01:13:30accidentally assaulting
01:13:30your father in the process.
01:13:32And then you decide
01:13:33to target Harry direct.
01:13:35You used
01:13:35Jenny's phone
01:13:36to lure him
01:13:37to the woods only.
01:13:39That doesn't work either.
01:13:40Harry's delayed
01:13:41and you kill
01:13:42an innocent man.
01:13:44I didn't mean
01:13:45to kill Dale.
01:13:45He was...
01:13:46The wrong man
01:13:47in the wrong place.
01:13:48You're...
01:13:49You're panicked.
01:13:50You're lost.
01:13:51And then...
01:13:51It hits you.
01:13:54The solution
01:13:54to everything.
01:13:55Pretend to kidnap
01:13:56your father.
01:13:58Demand a ransom
01:13:58that will clear your debts
01:13:59once and for all.
01:14:01Knowing that your wife
01:14:02would turn to Harry
01:14:03to pay for it
01:14:04before he's killed
01:14:05by kidnaps.
01:14:06Otherwise known as
01:14:08you.
01:14:09Jack!
01:14:10It should have been him.
01:14:13Stay back!
01:14:15You're off to help me.
01:14:16God, I'll kill you.
01:14:17Put the knife down, Jack.
01:14:19It won't help.
01:14:19I'm so close.
01:14:21To sailing off
01:14:22into the sunset?
01:14:23Just...
01:14:24I wanted us
01:14:25to be happy.
01:14:27I wanted us
01:14:27to be together.
01:14:30I am.
01:14:31We are.
01:14:33No, no.
01:14:34You're having an affair.
01:14:35I'm not.
01:14:37I've seen
01:14:37all your messages.
01:14:39I've seen
01:14:39your secret meetings.
01:14:41The fear
01:14:42of being caught.
01:14:43Because I didn't
01:14:44want you to think this.
01:14:46Right.
01:14:48You're going to run
01:14:49off with him
01:14:49and live happily
01:14:51ever after.
01:14:51And you know what?
01:14:52I don't blame you.
01:14:54Because I can't
01:14:55compete with him.
01:14:57Look at me.
01:14:59Look at me
01:15:00and tell me
01:15:00you weren't tempted.
01:15:04Okay, I was.
01:15:06I didn't give in to it.
01:15:08I stayed true.
01:15:11Because I love you.
01:15:12It's true.
01:15:19She loves you,
01:15:20not me.
01:15:21What have you done, Jack?
01:15:23Your wife doesn't cheat.
01:15:25You just believe
01:15:26the gossip.
01:15:27I was a laughingstock.
01:15:30You're not.
01:15:31Nothing
01:15:32happened.
01:15:34I wanted it to,
01:15:35but Jenny
01:15:36refused.
01:15:37Refused.
01:15:37Even when I just
01:15:38wanted to invest
01:15:39in her
01:15:39with a yoga center.
01:15:40She refused that too.
01:15:42She thought
01:15:42it would be inappropriate.
01:15:45You had the dream
01:15:47already.
01:15:49You were living it.
01:15:58Oh, God.
01:15:58Oh, God.
01:15:58Oh, God.
01:15:59Oh, God.
01:16:01Oh, God.
01:16:02Oh, God.
01:16:06Oh, God.
01:16:36See the trophy.
01:16:37I give you
01:16:38the 4x4
01:16:39Maths Challenge
01:16:40Champion.
01:16:41Yay.
01:16:42And it was all
01:16:43her own work.
01:16:44It was actually.
01:16:45We were rubbish.
01:16:46Together we have
01:16:47a new challenge.
01:16:49Yeah, we do indeed.
01:16:50A bowling match.
01:16:51These were my
01:16:51grandfather's
01:16:52pride and joy.
01:16:55Oh, and we also
01:16:56have to honour
01:16:56Harry Peterson's
01:16:57successful bid
01:16:57to buy the
01:16:58Midsummer
01:16:58Deverell Bowling Club.
01:16:59He plans to
01:17:00modernise it
01:17:00and keep it
01:17:01as a bowling club
01:17:02for his son
01:17:02to play at.
01:17:03Very good.
01:17:04They had names
01:17:06for their teams,
01:17:07didn't they?
01:17:07They did.
01:17:08There's Archie's
01:17:09Bowls Whisperers
01:17:10and Ollie's
01:17:11Orbitals.
01:17:12And I've been
01:17:12giving some thought
01:17:13to a name for us.
01:17:15And in every sense,
01:17:16you can't beat
01:17:17Barnaby's Bowling
01:17:18Bevies.
01:17:19You're comparing me
01:17:19to a drink.
01:17:20That's something else
01:17:21I'm very fond of.
01:17:22I thought of
01:17:23Fleur Power
01:17:25or the Flying Fleurs.
01:17:29But I'll leave
01:17:30it to Jamie.
01:17:31Winter Milan.
01:17:32Winter Milan.
01:17:34Oh, yeah!
01:17:51Oh, I think we did it.
01:18:11Oh, well, I think the
01:18:14clear winner is...
01:18:17Hang on, that's cheating.
01:18:21Of course it's not.
01:18:23It's a bowl, isn't it?
01:18:28Help, help, help!
01:18:29Help, help!
01:18:30Help, help, help!
