00:00Music
00:13Nothing like a brisk country walk to start the day.
00:16All I need is coffee and two choccy biscuits to dip in it.
00:20I'm sorry, you can't dunk biscuits in coffee.
00:23You don't know what you're missing.
00:26Winnie started sniffing in the field, only she never leaves the path.
00:31Oh yes, hello Winnie.
00:34This way.
00:39Down here.
00:41I thought it was a scarecrow at first, then I realised it wasn't.
00:49He wasn't moving.
00:55Do you think he's dead?
00:58Looks like the green man.
01:15In the month of June down by a rolling river, there will be he tried the chance to stray and
01:22he beheld his lover.
01:23Her cheeks were red, her eyes were brown
01:26Her hair in ring was hanging down
01:29She'd a lovely face without a frown
01:31Just as the tide was flowing
01:48Must have been there all night.
01:50So this happened when exactly?
01:51It was about dusk around 7
01:54Just getting hard to see so I was thinking of packing up
01:58Someone grabbed me from behind
01:59Put something over my face like an old rag
02:02Do you recall what the rag smelled like?
02:04Chemicals, but sort of sweet
02:06Chloroform?
02:09I've got images from the scene and the road
02:12In both directions from the kissing gate
02:14Alright, thanks Kelby
02:15We also passed the speed camera about half a mile back
02:18See if you can get anything from that
02:20Okay, my bike's on the truck, I'll head back now
02:23Thought I was a goner
02:25Everything went weird, I blacked out
02:29And I woke up seeing you lot looking down at me
02:32Didn't know if I was in heaven or hell
02:34Yeah
02:35Did you see anyone there?
02:36I haven't got eyes in the back of my head, have I?
02:37Right, and when it happened, were you facing the hedgerow?
02:41Or the field?
02:42Er, hedgerow is putting a new stake in
02:45May I?
02:47What are you going to do with that?
02:48Just a second
02:50Yeah, lovely
02:54Can we ask what you were doing in the field?
02:57Er, working for the outer mistake
02:59Doing what?
03:00Groundsmen
03:00Putting up no trespassing signs
03:02Stop people straying off the footpath
03:04And is that a problem?
03:05Oh, it is since the layabouts in the top field found out there was a shortcut
03:08The off-gridders?
03:09Yeah, like I said, layabouts
03:11It's not oil paint, it's acrylic
03:13Oh, does that mean it'll wash off?
03:15Oh, yes, yes it does
03:16Yeah, it's water-based
03:18Yeah, which means it's also excellent for writing on fabric
03:30Well, I hear it's 1991
03:33Seems our freedom's dead and gone
03:37Power of the rich is held by few
03:41You keep the young ones paralysed
03:43Educated by your lies
03:46Keep the old ones happy with the new
03:50Tell her sing a night, sing a song
03:53Tell the poet that she's wrong
03:55In the courts you'll win the case with lies
03:58Cause you sold them down the river
04:08Morning
04:09I hope you've got court papers
04:11Why would I need those?
04:13Because we're legally able to stay here
04:15Unless you can show a court has ruled otherwise
04:18I'm sure you are, that's not why we're here
04:21I'm D.R. Goodman, this is D.S. William
04:23A man was assaulted putting up signs
04:25A couple of fields from here
04:27And do you think we're responsible?
04:29We don't think anything yet
04:30The manner of the assault was a little odd
04:34He was drugged
04:36And painted green
04:38And covered in ivy
04:41Looks like you're green man here
04:43The green man is a symbol of nature
04:46Has been for thousands of years
04:48He protects the countryside
04:50Could we ask your names?
04:53I'm Wardrie
04:55Mrs. Alex
04:57Sernames?
04:58We don't have one
05:00Everyone has a surname
05:01Are you not familiar with the term off-grid?
05:04We exist outside of the system
05:06But not outside the law?
05:07Nope
05:08We simply make everything we use
05:10And grow everything we eat
05:11None of which is illegal to my knowledge
05:13We saw your banner on the roadside
05:15It was very colourful
05:16Do you make it yourselves?
05:18The children made it
05:19In the workshop
05:22May we?
05:28Would you like us to round up the children for you to interrogate?
05:32Oh I don't think that would be necessary
05:41You seem quite defensive
05:44So would you be if someone was trying to force you out of your home?
05:47Lester
05:50Mind if I take a sample?
05:53I've got nothing to hide
05:55You said you're being forced out of your home
05:58Who's doing that?
05:59You don't know?
06:01No I don't
06:02Paul Outram
06:04And he owns the land?
06:06Some of it
06:08He wants to build 30 houses here
06:11But to do that he's got to get rid of these people
06:14Now I don't know what you're here for
06:16But I do know that whatever it is
06:18He'll be behind it somehow
06:19Are you suggesting Mr. Outram assaulted his own worker?
06:23I'm suggesting he's capable of that and more
06:25And he'll do whatever it takes to get what he wants
06:27You seem to know a lot about him
06:29I do yeah
06:31My brother
06:44Of course you're not boring
06:47I heard you and Humphrey went skinny dipping
06:49Yes
06:50But was that just to prove I'm not boring?
06:54So how would you describe me?
06:57Nice
06:58Nice
06:59Lovely
07:00Why are you asking?
07:01Just wondering
07:03It's hard to know how other people see you isn't it?
07:05Never really thought about it
07:11Ah, morning Margot
07:12You on the coffee run?
07:13Yeah
07:14Someone phoned in saying they'd found a dead body
07:16Near those off gridders on the Outram estate
07:19So everyone rushed off
07:21Oh no
07:21It's okay
07:22Turned out he was alive
07:24And someone had painted him green
07:26So they're on the way back
07:28Right
07:29Yeah
07:32Margot you don't beat around the bush do you?
07:34I mean you usually say what you think
07:37Say what needs to be said
07:38No points sugar cold and everything
07:40Exactly
07:42So um
07:44How would you describe me?
07:46Be as brutal as you like?
07:48Well
07:50As you're asking
07:51You're nice
07:53Some might say too nice
07:55And you can be a bit picky
07:57You fuss too much
07:59Too tidy
07:59Too conscientious
08:00Too understanding
08:01And overall
08:02Just a bit too
08:04Accommodating
08:07Gosh
08:09That must be really annoying
08:10Me being
08:10Too much of everything
08:13Little trick I learnt
08:15Start every day
08:17By saying no
08:18To the first three things people ask of you
08:21Stops everyone treating you like a dog's body
08:24Works wonders
08:31Yeah
08:32I checked the speed camera like you said
08:34Hasn't been working since New Year's Eve
08:37Right
08:37Okay
08:38So
08:39The Outram Estate
08:41Was left to brothers Paul and Lee Outram
08:43When their mother died four months ago
08:45It comprises the main house and 29 acres
08:48The field adjacent to the B511
08:50Where the off gridders are
08:52Has been granted outline planning permission
08:53That permission is subject to the current dispute being resolved
08:57What is that dispute exactly?
09:00Morning
09:00Morning
09:01Thank you
09:03The off gridders are claiming adverse possession
09:07Formerly known as squatters rights
09:08Based on the fact that they've had a recognisable presence on that land for over a decade
09:13Outram Holdings Limited refutes that claim on the basis that they were originally given permission to use the land by
09:20the late Mrs Outram
09:21And therefore adverse possession law doesn't apply
09:24She was in my archery class
09:26She joined when her husband Keith left her in 2016
09:30And what about her sons?
09:31Well I don't really know Paul, the older one
09:33He moved away just after he left college
09:36Some big shot in London last I heard
09:39Young Lee stayed at home though
09:41Helped with the farm
09:42He was a bit of a mummy's boy
09:45The old man was a nasty piece of work
09:49We're all glad to see the back of him
09:51I heard Paul moved back home though when Katie died
09:53And were you aware of the brothers having a difference of opinion over the family estate?
09:57I heard something
09:59I think Lee lodged an official objection to the house build
10:02Sounds like they've fallen out
10:03Yes, I was going to see what they have to say
10:08Kelby, go back up to the off gridders if you will
10:10Let's take statements from everyone living there
10:12Ensuring they all account for their whereabouts at the time of the assault
10:15Sure
10:16Margot, we've got the lab doing a paint match for us
10:19Chase that up would you?
10:21And let's get background checks on the Outram family
10:23Rightio
10:25Let's go
10:31Mum was too soft
10:32She should never have let more Nutfield in the first place
10:36Then why did she?
10:37Turns out she was a child of the sixties
10:39All free love and peace
10:41Who knew?
10:43We weren't really the kind of family that sat around the fire telling each other's stories
10:46What kind of family were you?
10:49Dad worked hard, mostly ruled the roost
10:51Mum took care of the house
10:52And your brother?
10:54He was generally to be found hanging on to Mum's apron strings
10:58Did you not get on?
11:00We're different people, but he's still my brother
11:01And yet he seems to have taken the side of the off gridders against you
11:05Well he's soft, like Mum
11:07Which means people take advantage of him
11:09So he wants them to stay?
11:10I don't think Lee knows what he wants
11:12He just doesn't like confrontation
11:14I don't have that problem
11:17Can you tell us where you were last night?
11:20Around 7pm onwards
11:21And that's relevant because?
11:23Because that's when your groundsman was assaulted
11:25Oh, and I'm the main suspect, am I?
11:27Brilliant
11:28I'd forgotten I was back in the countryside
11:30Do things differently in London then, do they?
11:32You know, they say that fish grow to fit whatever size pond they're in
11:35In my experience, it's pretty much the same for people
11:39That doesn't answer the question
11:41Remind me?
11:42Where were you?
11:44Last night
11:467pm
11:47I was at Kitty J's
11:49Got there at 6.30
11:51Did anyone see you?
11:52How would I know who saw me and who didn't?
11:54Okay
11:55Did you see anyone you knew?
11:57No
11:58Though I did see two of the thieves who were trying to steal my land
12:03Two that seemed to do most of the talking
12:04Just about to rummage through some bins I assume
12:06Woody and Alex?
12:08If you say so
12:09And where were they exactly?
12:11Walking along the estuary by the harbour office
12:14Now if there's nothing else, I'll have a meeting with my solicitor in 30 minutes
12:18No, that's all for now
12:20Do you know where we might find your brother?
12:22Oh, he's here somewhere
12:23Listen out for the grinding of teeth or the wringing of hands
12:37Okay, so what time did the Pan Pipe class finish?
12:429 sharp
12:43So the Pipers could join the stone ceremony which was 9 to 10.30
12:47The stone ceremony?
12:50Stones represent our ancestors
12:53We like to draw on their power
12:56Why?
12:58It's okay
12:59We don't expect you to believe
13:01Oh no, I do
13:03Oh no, I do
13:04Maybe not the stone bit
13:05But whether I do or don't
13:08I think that everyone should believe in whatever they want
13:13As long as it's not hurting anyone
13:15I mean, speaking to stones is alright
13:19Obviously, if you wanted to throw them, that would be different
13:24Why would we throw the stones?
13:26They're very heavy
13:28Yeah, yeah, no
13:32So, who did the Pipes or the stone ceremony?
13:38Oh wow, okay
13:40So, everyone did both?
13:42Yeah, except for Janice
13:44She was worm charming
13:45Got 39
13:48Right, so everyone was with everyone else all night?
13:54Not all night
13:55Me and Alex went into town
13:57We trade vegetables for a few fish at the harbour
14:00And what time was that?
14:02Not sure, but I think we were back before 7
14:04So you can tell your inspector that whoever attacked that man, it wasn't anyone from here
14:11I printed some petition forms off for him
14:13Oh right, so you're happy for them to be on your land?
14:17Better than turning it into a house and estate
14:19Your mum invited them here, is that right?
14:22Just after dad left, about 10 years ago
14:26I think mum liked the idea of having people around
14:29Can I ask, the land was left to you and your brother when your mum passed away?
14:34That's right
14:35In equal shares?
14:37Yeah
14:38Then, doesn't he need your agreement to do the building?
14:41Not anymore
14:42Oh?
14:46Before she died, me and mum were planning on turning the field into one of them glamping sites
14:52Paul came back all sweetness and light
14:54Convinced me we needed a limited company to make it a proper business
14:59I was a bit out of my depth
15:01But he told me not to worry and that he'd said it all up
15:03Out from Holdings
15:05So when he said it all up he gave himself more voting shares?
15:08I was near as a shark
15:11Just didn't think it applied to family
15:12So once the company was set up, he changed the plans for a campsite to houses
15:18Which he can't build until he gets those people off the land
15:20He tried to buy them off at first, offered them 10 grand each
15:24And they refused?
15:25He didn't care about money
15:27He's too ignorant to see that
15:29So now he has to convince the council that they're a nuisance so that he can evict them and send
15:32the bulldozers in
15:33But won't you still get rich in the process?
15:36This was a work environment
15:38And it could be that again
15:40That's all I need
15:42Oh, sorry
15:44One last question, if I may
15:47Your father
15:49So he's completely out of the picture?
15:51He wasn't included in the will?
15:53No one knows where he is
15:55We've seen someone else and one day just upped and left
15:57I'm never heard from him again
16:00Sorry, that must have been a difficult time
16:02Not for me
16:09Lee, can you tell us where you were last night, between 7 and 8?
16:13At home?
16:14On your own?
16:16Paul went out to get something to eat, so, yeah
16:19Did you see or speak to anyone else during that time?
16:25No
16:30Yeah, I'll tell him as soon as he's back
16:38Thank you
16:43The hub again
16:45Charlie Woods didn't call us every day
16:47I think there's something going on
16:50Maybe it'll calm down
16:51Once Mr. Smith sees what a good job the inspector does
16:55I don't like the feeling I'm being watched all the time
16:58It's better to be a bit of a mystery
17:02Talking about mysteries
17:04How's your imaginary girlfriend?
17:07I told you, I don't like you talking about her like that
17:10Well, pardon me for caring about you
17:13And she's not imaginary
17:14She's very real, thank you very much
17:18Her flight lands at half past four
17:22So
17:24Are you picking her up at the airport?
17:26Well, no
17:28She doesn't want me there to see her all scruffy getting off her flight
17:32So we're meeting after work at Kitty Jays
17:35I'd have thought with you buying a plane ticket
17:38She'd at least want you to meet her
17:42I know what you're thinking
17:43That she's catfishing you out of your savings
17:46You don't know her like I do
17:48Well
17:49As neither of us have actually met her
17:52I'd say we're about even
17:54Wouldn't you?
17:56I'm not having this conversation again
17:58I'm not being mean
18:00I'm just trying to look out for you
18:03You know what, Margot?
18:05You say potato and I say tomato
18:07Let's just leave it at that, shall we?
18:18Thank you
18:19I want the planning agent to have the full application ready to go in tomorrow
18:23Let me worry about that
18:37Hi
18:41Ham and English mustard
18:43Crisps and a muffin
18:45You're amazing
18:46Have you spoken to the builders?
18:48I left them a message
18:50I'll call this afternoon if I don't hear back
18:52Can you pick up my jacket on your way home?
18:54It's at the dry cleaners
18:56No
19:00Excuse me?
19:02Well, I'm just as busy as you are
19:04And you can pick it up on the way home
19:06Oh, um
19:07Yes, I suppose you're right
19:09It is a bit closer for me
19:11Excellent!
19:12Two birds with but a single stone
19:15Um, I want you both home promptly this evening
19:17We have a guest for dinner
19:18Who?
19:19Oh, it's a surprise
19:20That's worrying
19:21Oh, not at all
19:22I'm doing a charcuterie board appetizer
19:25Followed by beef wellington
19:26With mixed berry pavlova
19:28And a caramel twist
19:30If anyone's left standing
19:31No, you have me at charcuterie
19:33Morty, I thought you could tackle the pavlova this afternoon
19:36And bring it home ready-made
19:38No, sorry
19:42Who are you and what have you done with my daughter?
19:45Too busy
19:46Must get on
19:59Oh, the hub's been on again
20:01Mr. Smith left a message
20:03Ah, no thanks
20:05I need a decision now
20:07HR need to be notified by end of play tomorrow
20:09Right, good
20:10So I'm serious
20:12HR
20:12Oh no, it's just a
20:15Just a thing
20:16It's like an admin thing
20:18It's not even a thing
20:19Really, it's like a query
20:22There's nothing for you to worry about
20:24Or anyone else
20:25It's just a thing
20:27Okay, perfectly fine
20:28Do you want me to get Mr. Smith now?
20:30No
20:32Later though, perhaps
20:36Lunch
20:36Of course
20:38Sir, we've had the lab report back
20:41The paint from the banner and that found on Evan Cole is a match
20:44Yes, as expected
20:46And
20:48Everyone was at the camp at the time Mr. Cole was assaulted
20:51All except Woody and Alex
20:53Who apparently were in town getting fish
20:56Yes, that was corroborated by Paul Altram of all people
21:00He said he saw them at the harbour office
21:01And the rest of them all confirmed that they stayed together
21:06Doing a stone ceremony, pan pipes and worm charming
21:12Can't beat a bit of worm charming
21:15Yes, indeed
21:18Margot
21:21What do you know about Mr. Altram?
21:23Katie's husband and the boy's father
21:25Keith
21:25Could start an argument in an empty room Katie used to say
21:29Bit of a drunk too
21:31Andy with his fists
21:32I always thought he hit Katie
21:35But she never admitted it
21:36How charming
21:38And after they split up?
21:39No one knows
21:40He just stopped and left
21:42Only Lee was at home then
21:44So him and Katie ran the farm as best they could together
21:47Right, let's see if you can find out where he is now
21:50I think we need to at least eliminate him
21:52Right
21:53So
21:55Groundsman Evan Cole
21:56Was drugged and assaulted by person or persons unseen
22:00Now we know that the paint came from the camp
22:02So it seems perfectly reasonable to assume the perpetrators came from there too
22:08Or someone went to a lot of trouble to make it appear that way
22:11But whoever it was still had to be able to get the paint from the camp workshop
22:16Excellent point, Kelby
22:17Yes, and I can't imagine Paul Altram could get into that camp without being noticed
22:24But Lee Altram could
22:27Yes
22:28Kink
23:05Sergeant Williams.
23:08Hello.
23:09Do you have a moment?
23:11I'm working.
23:12I've been calling you.
23:13Sorry, weird day.
23:16You came to the house the other night?
23:18Did you need to talk to me?
23:20No.
23:21I mean, I'm sorry, I didn't realise you had someone there.
23:24It was a mistake.
23:25I was sort of passing, and I thought I'd left something at yours.
23:28But I didn't want to intrude.
23:30You wouldn't have been.
23:32So, what was it that you thought you'd left?
23:34Oh, nothing.
23:36Just a pair of hair straighteners.
23:38Zoe's probably packed them to take away.
23:40You sure that's all it was?
23:41What else?
23:44You know, I'm always here.
23:45You know, if you want to talk.
23:48Yeah?
23:49Good.
23:51Oh, I need to get back to work.
23:54Yeah, yeah.
23:54We're in the middle of a case.
23:55Sorry.
23:55Of course.
23:56Bye.
23:56Bye.
24:02Mum used to tell me never to talk about the Green Man.
24:06Because when you do, something bad always happens.
24:10Yes, it seems to have quite the reputation.
24:13Oh, fascinating fact.
24:15There are...
24:16Oh, it's alright.
24:18...72 pubs in the UK called the Green Man.
24:22I've read that on a beer mat.
24:24I like that fact.
24:26Thanks, Viv.
24:28Okay.
24:29So, I can't find any records for Keith Outram.
24:33I've checked with the solicitors dealing with Katie Outram's will.
24:36So, they've had no contact from him either.
24:39So, he must be happy in his new life.
24:42Oh.
24:42Oh.
24:43Paul Outram's alibi checked out.
24:45He got to Kitty J's just after 6.30 last night.
24:47Complained about mostly everything.
24:49Right.
24:49And left just after 8.
24:51Right.
24:51So, the only person who cannot account for those whereabouts is Lee Outram.
24:56You know, someone who we know could have had access to the green paint used in the assault.
25:00And someone who stands to financially benefit from the off-grid community being forced out.
25:06But he's been fighting the housing plans.
25:08Well, apparently so.
25:10And, of course, he'd be well placed to keep up to speed with his brother's plans and to share that
25:15information with the off-gridders.
25:16Or, it could be a double bluff.
25:19Maybe he befriended the community so he could watch what they're doing.
25:22And him and Paul are actually in cahoots.
25:28Shook now at police.
25:32Just a moment.
25:35It's him.
25:39Who?
25:42Mr Smith.
26:00Inspector Goodman.
26:06Yes.
26:07Absolutely.
26:10No, I haven't.
26:13Yes, I will.
26:16Yes, without fail.
26:20Right.
26:33Why didn't you tell us?
26:35Well, I was hoping it would go away, if I'm honest.
26:40Well, that wasn't likely to happen, was it?
26:43The hub doesn't usually change its mind.
26:47No.
26:49Are you angry with me?
26:50Yes.
26:50For trying to deal with this on your own.
26:53We're supposed to be a team.
26:55Exactly.
26:56Look, if I thought there was a solution, I would have shared it with you, but there isn't.
27:00I have to lose one member of the team.
27:04Fine.
27:05Then I've already retired once.
27:07I'll retire again.
27:08No.
27:09The whole place will fall apart.
27:12I'll go then.
27:13I mean, I'll be missed the least.
27:15No.
27:15No.
27:16You're our only uniformed officer.
27:19It'll have to be me then.
27:21Detectives are the only thing we have two of, after all.
27:24Oh, no.
27:25Loathe as I am to say this, in case you use it against me at some point in the future,
27:29but I can only really do what I do, because all of you are doing most of the real work.
27:37On my own, I just run around bumping into things.
27:46We could draw lots.
27:48What, paper scissors?
27:49Spin the bottle.
27:54No.
27:55Um, no, I'm the senior officer.
27:57It's my place to make the decision.
27:59No one else's.
28:01Well, I'll back your decision.
28:03Whatever you decide.
28:06We all will.
28:08All for one.
28:10One for all.
28:16DS Williams.
28:20On our way.
28:23Out from my state.
28:41Is it safe to go in now and see everything, or what?
28:43Yeah, all okay.
28:44Go ahead.
28:45All right.
28:45Thanks very much.
28:46All right.
28:46All right.
28:47Just give me one minute.
28:47No problem.
28:49I want them all arrested.
28:51This is willful damage.
28:52When did this happen?
28:54How the hell do I know?
28:55Sometime between me leaving to see my solicitor and when I got back.
28:58And where are you at home?
28:59No, I was kind of on the bottom field.
29:00Saw the smoke.
29:01You know this means I've got cause to evict them now.
29:03They've overstepped the mark, and now they'll pay for it.
29:07Found this on the drive.
29:09They can't get away with it this time.
29:11I want them arrested, taken off my land.
29:14We'll go and talk to them.
29:15I don't want you to bloody talk to them.
29:16I want you to do your job and arrest them.
29:19Mr. Outram, please calm down.
29:21We'll deal with this.
29:22Just let us do our job.
29:23Well, just make sure you do.
29:24They've assaulted my groundsman, and now this.
29:27How long before they kill someone?
29:35You have no right to come here accusing us of something we haven't done.
29:38We aren't accusing anyone.
29:40Sounds like it to me.
29:41We're simply asking the question, does this bracelet belong to anyone here?
29:44This is outrageous.
29:46It's mine.
29:48Edmund.
29:49Can you tell us how it came to be at the Outram House?
29:51No, not really.
29:53I didn't know it had gone.
29:56Right.
29:57Okay, we're going to have to take you in for questioning.
29:59You're under arrest on suspicion of arson.
30:02You do not have to say anything,
30:04but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned,
30:06something you later rely on in court.
30:09Okay, come on.
30:10Janice.
30:12But he hasn't done anything.
30:15Let's focus.
30:22I've never been in trouble with the police before.
30:24Not even the odd demo or protest meeting?
30:27No, no, nothing.
30:28I used to work in stationery.
30:31I only joined the off-grid community when my wife and I got divorced.
30:34She ran off with her reflexologist.
30:37She liked her feet being rubbed, you see.
30:40I mean, I say, she ran off.
30:42She only moved three doors down.
30:44He had the corner terrace.
30:48I had to walk past there to go to work every day.
30:51Seems strange saying good morning.
30:54We'd been married 18 years.
30:57And then I had a breakdown.
30:59And then I met Janice, and she told me about the group.
31:04I've only been there a couple of months.
31:05Yeah, Edmund.
31:06You do understand that what you've been accused of is really quite serious.
31:11Yeah, yeah.
31:13But I didn't do it.
31:14Yeah, your bracelet was found on the driveway.
31:17Yeah.
31:18And I have no idea how that got there.
31:21You don't want those houses built there.
31:24And we don't blame you for that.
31:26No one does.
31:28And sometimes when you fight against something, well, things can get out of hand.
31:33Yeah.
31:33Is that what happened, Edmund?
31:36Things just get out of hand.
31:39No.
31:39And what about the assault on the groundsman?
31:41Do you know anything about that?
31:44Well, I told you I don't know about any of those things.
31:49Well, I just came to find a bit of peace.
31:53To be happy.
31:59So, what do you think?
32:00I think I'm more guilty than he is.
32:03If he'd have done any of this, he'd have folded after the first question.
32:07Agreed.
32:07So, where does that leave us?
32:11Nowhere.
32:12Sir?
32:13Yes, Kelby?
32:14Would it be all right if I left a little bit earlier today?
32:18Only I've got a squeeze in, a bath, a hair wash and a face mask in before half six.
32:26Got a hot date?
32:28Sort of.
32:29In that case, off you go.
32:32Oh, thank you, sir.
32:33Never let it be said that I got in the way of a hot date.
32:38No, I...
32:41Er...
32:41What was all that about?
32:43Magnishka's supposed to be flying in today.
32:46Really?
32:47Well, he thinks she is.
32:49But she didn't want him to meet her at the airport.
32:52Oh.
32:53Well, that's odd.
32:55She's supposed to be meeting him in the pub after work.
32:58It's not going to end well.
33:00I just know it.
33:01Oh, no.
33:02Poor Kelby.
33:02Okay.
33:03So let's release Edmund.
33:05I'm not convinced he's our man.
33:07And then let's run through where we are.
33:09There must be something we're missing.
33:18I've worked.
33:20And by the light of a silvery moon, where we rode on home, all singing still.
33:30Oh.
33:30One more for the spoils of life, one more before you go.
33:34Fill me glass and make it last, one more before you go.
33:39Come on.
33:41That those who've journeyed far may find
33:46A sheltered port in a stormy sea
33:50And a haven from the gills of life
33:54To bring their spirits up to the east
33:59For the amber and the robber's eye
34:04Take a deep breath.
34:07Why?
34:07Just do it.
34:10Mum's surprise dinner guest is here.
34:14A lot of rock through, but it's all in that backswing.
34:18Yeah.
34:19Hi.
34:21You see, your ankles are going to do a nice and easy ride.
34:25And make it last one more before you go.
34:31Before you go.
34:38Oh, what were you thinking?
34:51I'm on the police committee.
34:52He's a colleague.
34:54Yeah, but we told you what he's making Humphrey do.
34:56I know, darling.
34:57I know, darling.
34:57That's exactly the point.
34:59I mean, perhaps it will make things easier between them if we all get on.
35:04I think if it is a brand new dawn.
35:11Very nice of Anne to invite me.
35:13Yes, it was.
35:14I hope it doesn't make you feel uncomfortable.
35:18Uncom...
35:18Uncom...
35:19No.
35:21Absolutely not.
35:22Why would it?
35:24No reason at all.
35:25After all, technically, they're both on the same side.
35:32I understand that Anne lost her husband some years ago.
35:37Uh, yes.
35:39Yes.
35:39During the first wave of the pandemic, it was...
35:42Oh.
35:43It was very sad.
35:44Oh, heavens yes.
35:45A terrible affair.
35:47Hmm.
35:49I'm surprised she hasn't been snapped up.
35:52Here we are.
35:54Huh?
35:56That looks amazing, Anne.
36:01Right.
36:03Telephones, please.
36:05No, it's a new thing.
36:07Confiscated phones at dinner parties.
36:09Oh.
36:13I read it in a Sunday magazine.
36:20Shall be a sec.
36:35Just so you know, I've just got off the phone to my solicitors.
36:39They said that now there's been an arrest, any claim your friends may have had on the
36:43land has just quite literally gone up in smoke.
36:48Looks like the diggers can move in.
37:06I was passing.
37:09In the loo, is she?
37:11No.
37:12I'll get you another drink.
37:24What are you doing here?
37:25I was passing.
37:27Me too.
37:30Well?
37:38Your son-in-law is very highly regarded at the Hub and very highly indeed.
37:44I'm pleased to hear it.
37:45His conversion rate, highest in the division.
37:48Well, it's very much a team effort.
37:51Yeah, I don't doubt it.
37:53So, your latest case caused rather a stir at the morning review.
37:58The green-painted man.
38:00Yes.
38:01It was an odd sight.
38:03Have you made any progress?
38:05It's early days, of course.
38:08But we think it must be connected to the land dispute going on there.
38:11Oh, yeah, yeah, the Outram brothers, isn't it?
38:14Yes.
38:15Do you know them?
38:17Well, one of them.
38:21I'm a keen detectorist.
38:23Yep.
38:24And we have permission to detect on all the fields alongside the public footpath there,
38:28apart from his.
38:30He refused.
38:31Point blank.
38:32A couple of them to see him, you know, plead our case, but wouldn't even listen.
38:37Yeah.
38:38Most objectionable human being.
38:40Yeah, I think I know which one you're referring to.
38:43Lee.
38:44Yeah, that's it.
38:46Lee Outram.
38:57Maybe our flight was delayed.
38:59No, I checked.
39:03It's her loss.
39:05Yeah, exactly.
39:06But you've got me and Margo instead.
39:09Yeah.
39:14Yeah.
39:14Yeah.
39:14What do you buy her?
39:16Uh, fruit and nut.
39:18Our favourite chocolate.
39:20I love fruit and nut.
39:31What Do you go?
39:39It's her.
39:43We just keep on heart.
39:44If you have plenty on, you're behind you.
39:45What do you care?
39:54Well, perhaps I can return the compliment at some point.
39:57I mean, not that I pretend to be up to your standard,
40:00but, uh, like some say, my toad in the hole has merit.
40:06Then I very much look forward to sampling it.
40:09Oh, wait. Let me get your phone.
40:11Oh.
40:13Um, good night, Mr Smith.
40:15Martha.
40:21We didn't really talk about our outstanding HR issue, did we, Humphrey?
40:25No.
40:26You understand that tomorrow is the absolute deadline?
40:28There can be no extension.
40:29Must have your decision.
40:31I understand.
40:33Splendid.
40:35Ah, here you are.
40:37Well, thank you for a marvellous evening.
40:44Bye.
40:48See?
40:50That wasn't so bad, was it?
40:55And it's so lovely to meet your work friends.
40:58Kellyby has told me so much about you.
41:00Oh, that's nice.
41:02You were always looking after him.
41:04I think because you were old, you were like marvellous.
41:07Mm-hmm.
41:08Mm-hmm.
41:10I nearly forgot.
41:12This is for you.
41:13A present?
41:15Not really.
41:16It's the money you lent me for the flights.
41:18I think it is the right amount.
41:20Mm-hmm.
41:21Thank you for helping me.
41:23Some people would not have been so trusting.
41:27You're very welcome.
41:29So, are you hungry?
41:31We could eat here, or we could get a takeaway and go back to mine.
41:35Can we go to yours?
41:37I'm so excited to see it.
41:39Well, everything's ready.
41:40I've set up my room for you.
41:42I'll be OK on the sofa.
41:43It's really comfy.
41:44Uh, but aren't you sleeping with me?
41:49Well, I...
41:50I...
41:51But I love cuddles so much.
41:59What will you do?
42:01I have no idea.
42:06Anyway...
42:07That is tomorrow's problem.
42:12How was your day?
42:14OK.
42:27I was trying out saying no for a change.
42:31I'm not sure if it's for me, to be honest.
42:34You two go on up.
42:35It's almost done here.
42:39I'm not sure if it's for you, to be honest.
42:40Here's an idea.
42:42Let's take what's left of the wine-up and go and pick out some more papers.
42:51Yes!
42:53Night, Mum.
42:55Night, Gia.
42:56Night, Anne.
42:58Oh, I forgot to tell you.
43:01Builders called.
43:02Part of the roof has collapsed.
43:04Bad.
43:05You can see daylight.
43:07Great.
43:12Looks like someone had a late night.
43:15I've never been more happy to be wrong.
43:18Me neither.
43:20And what about you?
43:23How's your love life?
43:24Ah, train wreck.
43:26Same as always.
43:27Wanna talk about it?
43:28Thanks, but no thanks.
43:32He looks like he's got the weight of the world on his shoulders.
43:39Yeah.
43:48You okay, sir?
43:49Oh, yes.
43:50Sorry.
43:51Miles away.
43:52You know that we'll support you, whatever you decide.
43:56I know.
43:57Unfortunately, that makes things worse, not better.
44:08Right.
44:10We've still got a case to solve.
44:12So let's go through all the statements again.
44:15Check for any discrepancy.
44:16Double check every word.
44:18We must have missed something.
44:20Margot, let's look at this off Greek immunity a bit closer.
44:23Drill down, enter backgrounds.
44:24Kelby, let's do a CCTV trawl.
44:28The only people away from the Altrum Estate when the assault took place were supposedly
44:32in town.
44:33Let's confirm that if we can.
44:34If you can stay awake long enough.
44:36There is something out there that will unlock this case.
44:41So let's find it.
44:58Morning.
44:59Got a present for you.
45:03It's an eviction notice.
45:05You've got seven days to get off my land or bailiffs will come and drag you off.
45:11Have a nice day.
45:21I'm sorry everyone.
45:24This looks like a fight we can't win.
45:26No.
45:27We made our home here.
45:29If they want us to leave, they have to drag us off.
45:32We don't have the money we'd need to fight a court notice.
45:34We have support.
45:36Others will help.
45:37No.
45:39It's over.
45:41There will be other places.
45:44Let's just pack up.
45:55Right, so I've double checked all witness statements and whichever way you read them,
45:59they all eliminate each other.
46:00If Paul Outram is responsible in any way, he must have had outside help.
46:05Sorry.
46:05I went through all the old planning applications and confirmed there was one submitted by Lee Outram for a glamping
46:11site which was later withdrawn.
46:13Then a new application by Paul Outram put in.
46:15So, they were both happy to develop the site but one wanted to build and the other wanting something less
46:21intrusive which is why they must have fallen out.
46:24Right.
46:25And the off gridders?
46:26A couple of priors.
46:27But nothing serious.
46:29Right.
46:29Sir, I'm struggling a bit marrying up the statements between Paul Outram and the two people from camp.
46:36How so?
46:37So, they're all in town like they said but at different times and at different places.
46:44Look, I've got Paul Outram coming out of Kitty J's just after eight o'clock like he said but then
46:50he goes straight into his car and drives off.
46:53So, how could he have seen anyone by the horrible office?
46:57Then, I was searching for Alex and Woody, the ones he said he saw.
47:02And it took me ages but I found them.
47:05They were nowhere near the pub.
47:08They were on the other side of town coming out of Jenny Robinson's garage.
47:12And what time was that?
47:14Uh, just before six.
47:16They stopped off at the chippy and then queued up for the 21 bus.
47:21I thought they only eat what they grow.
47:24Maybe they're missing life's little luxuries.
47:26Well, the number 21 would take them back up to the Outram Forum.
47:29But why would Paul lie about seeing them?
47:32Kelby, could you call the garage?
47:34See what they can tell us.
47:35Sir.
47:36So, if they left town at 6pm, I mean that means they don't have an alibi for the time of
47:40the assault.
47:42Hello there, Jenny.
47:43But why would Paul Outram give them one?
47:46Maybe he was mistaken?
47:47No, no, no, no.
47:49He didn't say he thought he saw them.
47:51He was quite sure.
47:52But how can that be true?
47:54It cannot.
47:55And if it cannot, it is not.
47:59So the real question is, why would you give your adversary an alibi which would allow them to refute an
48:06accusation that you yourself had made?
48:09And however you look at it, there is only one possible answer.
48:14That they are not adversaries at all.
48:19Sir, Jenny remembers them going in.
48:22They were looking at a second-hand camper van.
48:24Yes!
48:27Missing life's little luxuries.
48:30I've got a one-time offer for you guys.
48:32We know Paul Outram offered the off-griders £10,000 each to move off the land.
48:37Of course, offering money to people who've opted out of society was never going to work.
48:42But what if you still had your doubts about the lifestyle you've chosen?
48:49And decided you'd quite like to take the money after all.
48:54But just paying off the two of them wouldn't be enough on its own.
48:58Precisely that.
48:59So the only way they could get paid was to help Paul get rid of the others as well.
49:04So I think they came up with a plan to discredit the whole community.
49:08Making it easier for Paul to get his eviction notice.
49:15So when they got back from town, Paul would have already told them where Evan was working.
49:23Once Evan was unconscious, they needed to make it look like it was done by the off-grid community.
49:27By using paint from their workshop and using their motif of the green man.
49:32Knowing full well that Paul would give them an alibi.
49:41Then a day later, having arranged for Paul to be at his solicitors,
49:47they set the fire at the site office.
49:58And easy enough for either of them to steal the bracelet to frame Edmund.
50:03Sorry everyone.
50:05This looks like a fight we can't win.
50:07Then, when the moment came,
50:09they would convince the others that they should just give up the fight and leave.
50:13No. It's over.
50:14There will be other places.
50:17Let's just pack up.
50:24Leaving them free to eat fish and chips and buy a camper van.
50:31So, they were all in it together?
50:34Except for Lee. He couldn't have known about any of this.
50:37Mind you, Paul's lucky his dad didn't come back after the money when Katie died.
50:42Lucky?
50:44Or is it something else?
50:46Like what?
50:49Something's been niggling at me.
50:51Let's go.
50:55Get out of here, Paul!
50:57Get out of here, Paul!
50:59Get out of here, Paul!
51:01Come on!
51:04Come on!
51:20Mary?
51:22I've just arrested your brother.
51:26So he was behind it all?
51:28Yeah.
51:28With a little help from his friends.
51:31I'll explain it all later.
51:33But I need to talk to you about this hunch I've got that just won't go away.
51:39It's about your father, Keith.
51:41You know, we couldn't find any record of him anywhere.
51:46And then someone said something to me last night,
51:47which made me think that maybe there was more to my hunch than I first thought.
51:51It was about you refusing to let detectorists use this land.
51:56Which, when you add it to the fact that you've done everything in your power
52:00to stop this land being built on,
52:03even going against your own brother,
52:05leaves me questioning why.
52:09I mean, you were happy enough for it to be used as a glamping site,
52:12even for the off-grid community to live here.
52:19anything but building.
52:21So then I thought,
52:23what if it's not the building you're worried about?
52:26It's the digging.
52:41He was hitting her.
52:45When I came in from the field,
52:47I tried to stop him,
52:49but he punched me sore in the face.
52:51I couldn't see anything.
52:56But I could hear
53:00Mum
53:05begging him to stop.
53:10And then it went quiet.
53:15And when my eyes started to focus again,
53:20I could just see her sitting on the floor next to him.
53:25She killed him.
53:31And we knew if we told anyone
53:33or called the police,
53:34our lives would be over.
53:38So we buried him.
53:40In the field?
53:47I know it was wrong.
53:48And I should be sorry.
53:52But I'm not.
53:53I knew I had to look after her.
53:57And it was the best thing that ever happened to us.
54:02Me and Mum were happy.
54:05Really happy.
54:08We didn't mourn him.
54:11Never even talked about it.
54:13Your brother didn't know?
54:15What's the point?
54:17We just made up a story about him leaving
54:19and stoked to it.
54:21You know we have to report this, Lee.
54:23There will be consequences.
54:26Yeah.
54:28No regrets, though.
54:32Like I said,
54:33it's what we do, isn't it?
54:36We look after the people we love.
54:42Yeah.
55:09It's a project.
55:10It's a project.
55:10Yeah.
55:13It's a project.
55:16It's a project.
55:18Yeah.
55:18It's a project.
55:20It's a project.
55:20It's a project.
55:20But one step ahead of me
55:23and I was a fool.
55:26Too blinded by Stella
55:29to know it was you
55:32guiding me home every night.
55:38Oh, try to do.
55:47Oh, I'm not always able.
55:53I'm always joining you.
56:00Just hold on until the sunrise.
56:05I swear I'm coming home.
56:22Humphrey.
56:22Humphrey.
56:25Taking it to the wire as usual, I see.
56:28Still,
56:29it doesn't matter how you get there.
56:31As long as you get there.
56:33I assume you have made your decision.
56:36I have.
56:38Splendid.
56:42So, who is it to be?
56:44I'm not always able
56:46but I'm still here with him.
56:54There's a fire!
56:55There's a fire!
56:56Miss Kelby.
56:57Still in sight.
56:58Kelby!
56:58Elias' map, it's gone.
57:00The search for riches
57:01makes people do terrible things.
57:03We'd want to steal from the festival.
57:04Now you don't need me no more.
57:06And I'm not sure where that leaves me.
57:08Change can be difficult.
57:09Well, I'm here to help.
57:11He seems quite chipper under the circumstances.
57:14News starts all round.
57:15I'm trying to be more engaged.
57:17Amelia's idea?
57:18I can't work with that Mr. Smith.
57:20Should we tell him?
57:20This can't really be it.
57:27How about swapping Shipton Abbott for Tropical San Marie?
57:30There's about to be another Death in Paradise on BBC Three.
57:33And if you think tech-focused or conspiracy-driven dramas aren't for you,
57:37think again and box set the capture this weekend on iPlayer.
57:52We'll see you next time.
