Short filmTranscript
00:20I thought Morris dancing was all handkerchiefs and kneebells.
00:24Traditionally, yes. But this... This is Dark Morris. It's anarchic cousin, much more subversive.
00:32It's called The Legend of the Knucklehole Dragon. A fearsome beast is devouring the villagers, but no knight could slay
00:41it.
00:41Which one's Margo again?
00:42I'm guessing the dragon.
00:44No, she's one of the villagers that kills the beast with a poisoned pie.
00:50She's been practising for weeks, dancing around the office, trying to force-speed me past these.
00:56Oh, I think that's her at the back.
00:58Oh, let's just watch, shall we? It's pretty obvious what's going on.
01:15Ah! Is that it? Bravo! Excellent! Excellent!
01:19Get his epi-pen! Someone help him! Please!
01:24No, I'm not.
01:25It's not in the case!
01:27Where is it?
01:28Hurry!
01:34One morning in the month of June, down by a rolling river.
01:39There really tried a chance to stay, and he beheld his lover.
01:44Her cheeks were red and eyes were brown. Her hair and ringlets hanging down.
01:49She put a lovely face without a frown, just as the tide was flowing.
02:01Looks like it was an allergic reaction. The paramedics gave him an epinephrine shot.
02:06They're just hoping he's got it in time.
02:08Right, what was the allergic to?
02:09Latex. You know Marvelous, don't you?
02:12Ah yes, a kindred mariner. I bought my boat from you.
02:15Then let her drift out the sea like some janny fortnight. Lord alone knows how.
02:23Yes. Sorry, latex, you say?
02:25Yeah, anything with rubber. His name's Craig. He's new to the side.
02:29But he warned us about his allergy as soon as he joined.
02:32Carries an epi-pen in case of emergencies. He showed us all how to use it.
02:37Right, so why wait for the medics?
02:39Because it's gone missing from its case.
02:41I saw Craig check it before the show.
02:42Are you saying someone stole it?
02:45Well, it didn't vanish on its own.
02:47Wait, but if someone took it, that means they knew Craig would have a serious reaction,
02:51and they wanted to delay his treatment?
02:53Not with anything we use.
02:55It's been a right pain having to buy new costumes and masks.
02:59Make sure it's all latex-free.
03:01Yes, but that doesn't rule out them contaminating it later.
03:03Listen, let's gather everything up, get it to forensics for analysis, please.
03:07Maybe he touched something with latex earlier on.
03:09No, Craig's allergy is type one.
03:12Any reaction happens the moment he comes into contact with it.
03:15So, if someone intentionally treated it?
03:16They did so during the dance?
03:18I mean, literally the moment before he collapsed?
03:20It would take a few seconds, yeah.
03:22But we were all watching.
03:24So, what have we met?
03:32What have we met?
03:39The EpiPen helped, but he's not out of the woods yet.
03:42We're having to keep him sedated, give his body time to recover.
03:45Fingers crossed he'll be okay.
03:47Why?
03:48Don't those tubes contain rubber?
03:50No, everything here is silicon or nitrile-based.
03:53Even my gloves.
03:55I've got a squishy in my pocket.
03:58Sorry, I bought it for you.
03:59For your headaches.
04:01Help you stress.
04:02I'm good, thanks. You keep it.
04:03Put it away.
04:05It's okay.
04:06It's polyurethane.
04:08Maybe don't touch him, just in case.
04:10Right, yes, no.
04:12Do you know when we might be able to question him?
04:15Maybe in a day or so.
04:17But until then, no visitors.
04:19Doctor's orders.
04:20Thanks, Lucy.
04:24I'm sorry, I just wanted to check he was okay.
04:27You're part of the Morris side, aren't you?
04:29One of the musicians?
04:31Yeah, I'm Holly.
04:33My husband Matthew's the side leader.
04:37Please don't tell him I was here.
04:42Well, the plot thickens.
05:04Where have you been?
05:07Out.
05:09Walking, trying to make sense of it all.
05:14Why are the police involved?
05:17They, uh, think it may have been deliberate.
05:19Which is absurd.
05:22It was an accident.
05:27Hey.
05:30You don't need to forget about him.
05:34It's just you and me now.
05:41Come here.
05:45Fresh star, yeah?
05:56Yes.
06:00Do stand in the doorway, Humphrey.
06:03I think that's enormously helpful.
06:04Sorry, Anne.
06:05Mm-hmm.
06:06Right, so, what do you think?
06:10Your writing's terrible when you're stressed.
06:12But I like the carpool idea.
06:14Mm-hmm.
06:14How would that work in practice?
06:16Not a clue.
06:17But you've put here it's a cost saving of £5,000.
06:21Yeah.
06:21Do you think it should be more?
06:23I just need to show budget cuts that match one of the team's salary.
06:28Then I can argue that I don't need to let anyone go at all.
06:31Well, what if you go paperless?
06:34No.
06:36Writing notes on scraps of paper, it's how I work.
06:40I suppose I could write things on my sleeve.
06:43I'll keep thinking.
06:44Good idea, though.
06:45Great.
06:46Yeah, thanks.
06:47Love you.
06:48See you later.
06:51Bye, Anne.
06:53Thanks for breakfast.
06:56If he gets under my feet any more, I could wear him with slippers.
07:10Why are you putting marvellous up there?
07:12He's as daft as a brushed owl, but he's not an allergy, Psycho.
07:17And neither am I.
07:18We can't rule anyone out at the moment.
07:20You play the villager who poisoned him.
07:23You had access to his epi case.
07:25If I can find a motive, you're my prime suspect.
07:28Morning, Kelby.
07:30Dzień dobry.
07:32Sorry, I'm trying to learn Polish.
07:36Dzień dobry means good morning.
07:38It's really hard language.
07:40Which you're attempting.
07:43Why?
07:44Oh.
07:49Her name's Agnieszka.
07:52We met online.
07:54She's a PE teacher at an orphanage near Gdansk.
07:57Is that why then you have to shave so she can smell you from here?
08:02Ignore her.
08:03She looks lovely.
08:04Almost too good to be true.
08:06I know.
08:07I'm a lucky guy.
08:09Morning, all.
08:10What's that new air freshener?
08:14I'm gonna call forensics.
08:16You've had some more messages from that Mr Smith at the hub.
08:19He's gonna start stalking you soon.
08:21Yes, yes.
08:22I'll talk to him later.
08:23Any update on our Morris victim, Craig Fields?
08:26Still unconscious but stabilised.
08:28So it's looking more hopeful.
08:29The side are really pleased.
08:31Holly Willis in particular?
08:33There have been rumours, I can't lie.
08:36I mean, I wouldn't kick Craig out of bed if he wanted to get cosy under my duvet.
08:40A little focus, Margot, please.
08:42What facts do we know about him?
08:44Well, he's a carpenter and joiner by trade.
08:47He bought a damaged boat off Marvellous, which he's living on on the boatyard while he's fixing it up.
08:52He's planning on sailing around the world when it's done.
08:56Wait, this damaged boat, it's not the lilybond, is it?
09:00You better hope not.
09:02Otherwise, Esther will slap your photo up on that board and all.
09:05Craig doesn't sound like your typical Morris dancer.
09:08Which is what, exactly?
09:10Well, you've all met Marvellous, right?
09:13He might be a vaky oddball, but he's got a heart of gold.
09:17Same as Craig, who, it turns out, has done Morris before.
09:21He had a lot of fancy ideas which Matthew wasn't impressed with.
09:26Er, Matthew Willis side leader?
09:28They're called the Squires.
09:30Squires?
09:31It's a big Willis family tradition which Matthew felt Craig was usurping.
09:36Is that why the changes, the shift to dark Morris, was that all down to Craig?
09:41Yeah, we put it to the vote and Craig won.
09:45Even Holly voted for it.
09:47Ouch.
09:48Is that when the rumour started?
09:49Pretty much.
09:51Holly.
09:51They used to jam together, composing music for the knuckle hole.
09:55Craig carved her a wooden table pipe.
10:01Matthew's face when he gave it to her.
10:03You want a motive?
10:05I'd start right there.
10:06I think we need more than just making someone a recorder.
10:09Yes, let's not rush to assumptions.
10:11There are motives other than jealousy to consider.
10:14So let's look into Craig's finances and background please, Margaret.
10:18Er, lab report says there is no trace of latex on any of the staffs, masks or costumes.
10:25Yet.
10:26Craig collapsed mid-dance.
10:27So how has his allergy triggered unnoticed?
10:30We need someone to have filmed it.
10:35I do know someone who recorded it on their phone.
10:38Excellent.
10:39Let's get a copy of that before they delete it.
10:41Really?
10:42Yes, please.
10:43Okay.
10:44I did a sweep of the crime scene.
10:47I found a sweet wrapper.
10:50Mm-hmm.
10:51A feather of some sort.
10:54And 13 cigarette butts.
10:57Because like you say, we can't assume it's irrelevant.
11:01Quite right, Kelby.
11:03The smallest detail may prove pivotal.
11:07Strawberry chew.
11:10Oh, interesting.
11:13There was no feather of this kind on the Morris costumes.
11:17So, er, what bird does this belong to?
11:25No wonder.
11:29The holy grail of golf is something called an eagle, apparently.
11:33Or albatross.
11:36How do I look?
11:37Like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
11:39Please don't swing that in here.
11:42Are they Dad's clubs?
11:43Yes.
11:44Lance Kendrick, who's chair of the Sports and Culture Committee,
11:48asked if I played, so naturally I said yes.
11:52Because?
11:53Well, they're allocating seats to all the new councillors
11:56and I don't want to get stuck on the Committee of Strategic Works.
12:00I thought if I play around with Lance, he might invite me on board.
12:07You said play around with him.
12:10Oh.
12:11I knew you meant golf.
12:13Well, next time, I'll phrase it more carefully.
12:18Oh!
12:20Wish me luck.
12:21Let him win.
12:22You'll be fine.
12:28If we don't sell all these, can I take some home from Mum tonight?
12:31Helps soften her up before I tell her about my travel plans.
12:33She'll be fine about it.
12:35Well, I'm hoping she might miss me a bit.
12:38Of course she will.
12:40And it'll make the short time you have left together all the more precious.
12:43She'll spoil you rotten.
12:45You have met my mum, right?
13:04Esther!
13:05Hi!
13:05You wanted to see me.
13:06Did you want to book in another massage?
13:08No.
13:09Last night, you were filming that Morris dance.
13:12I need a copy of the footage.
13:14It may have information we can use.
13:16Oh, sure.
13:17Yeah.
13:18No problem.
13:20Sorry.
13:20Do you mind if I...
13:22Yeah.
13:22It should be in the gallery.
13:25Hello, Gordon Van.
13:27Yeah, Sandra.
13:28We've got you in for 10.30.
13:30Okay.
13:30We'll see you then.
13:31Okay.
13:32Bye.
13:33Oh, sorry.
13:34So many photos.
13:36New man syndrome.
13:38I expect you were the same, right?
13:41Archie told me you guys used to date.
13:46Briefly?
13:47It wasn't a big deal.
13:49Quick fling.
13:50Nothing major.
13:51Yeah.
13:51No.
13:51That's what he said.
13:53Right.
13:54Oh, it's not a problem.
13:55It's actually quite a relief.
13:56You know that it wasn't my massage technique making you so tense the other day.
14:00No, that was more about work stressing me out, not Archie.
14:04That's long gone.
14:05In fact, I was the one who ended it.
14:08Great.
14:10Ah.
14:11Here.
14:12Uh, sorry.
14:13No, rest for the wicked.
14:15Golden Van.
14:17Hold on one sec.
14:18All done.
14:19Thanks.
14:20Nice to see you.
14:23Yep.
14:24Was that for the hot stone?
14:29It's from Archie's new girlfriend.
14:31It's not great quality.
14:33Why can't you just stay still?
14:35I think she's dancing.
14:36It's hard not to.
14:37It's a really catchy tune.
14:39And how long before Craig collapses?
14:40It's round about here.
14:43Ruined my star moment.
14:45I'm like Marga Fontaine with that pie.
14:49Just saying.
14:51Okay.
14:53All right, everyone.
14:54Watch closely.
14:55Here we go.
14:56Any second now.
14:59Just a minute.
15:01Oh, God.
15:02Not my drink.
15:03Here, hold this.
15:04It's all over my tongue.
15:05Oh, for God's sake.
15:06You missed it.
15:07Oh, turn the camera.
15:08I think it's over.
15:09Was that it?
15:10No, something's wrong.
15:11Look.
15:13Holly's the first person to help Craig.
15:16But who's that bringing his epi case over?
15:23Who's your prime suspect now?
15:28And here, wait.
15:29Please, Marvellous, hold your horses.
15:30Shoulders back.
15:32Stand up straight.
15:33Full energy, please.
15:34Here we go.
15:36And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
15:40Smile.
15:41Out.
15:41Turn.
15:42Round.
15:43Wait.
15:43Stop.
15:43Stop.
15:44What are you doing?
15:46Aside from humiliating myself just so I can dance with this adorable woman, I have no idea.
15:52It's lunchtime.
15:54There's a scrumpy with my name on it at Kitty J's.
15:57Why have you dragged us all here for this whip pot?
16:00We're performing in Salkham at the weekend.
16:03And since we don't have a dragon anymore, we need to practice a new dance.
16:08Feels wrong doing anything while Craig's still unconscious.
16:11Right.
16:11Let's wait Lee's back.
16:12I want to bash a big stick about not wave a white hanky like I'm trying to surrender.
16:17No one is more concerned about Craig than me.
16:20But this isn't about him.
16:22It's about returning to our roots.
16:25Honouring our commitments.
16:27And doing as your squire says.
16:30Hello.
16:31Sorry, music stopped.
16:34Hope we're not interrupting.
16:35Not at all, Inspector.
16:36I'm explaining how Morris Danson's celebration of community.
16:41Of spring and light.
16:44Dark Morris is a...
16:45Well, that's a different path.
16:47And we need to make a choice.
16:49You can't have both.
16:52Holly.
16:54Holly.
16:54We're rehearsing.
16:56I need a vape.
16:57Take five, everyone.
17:00That's fine anyway.
17:01We'll need to speak to you all privately.
17:04We'll also need to see the dragon dance again.
17:06I believe Margot mentioned it.
17:07I told Morris to bring in some spare sticks.
17:10Her wish is my command.
17:12Excellent.
17:13Marvellous.
17:14Matthew.
17:15If you could get everything set up.
17:18I need to talk to Holly.
17:19Okay.
17:22I can't do this.
17:23I'm gonna...
17:24I'm gonna skedaddle.
17:25Yeah, tell her my mill.
17:27Dodgy Curry.
17:28Don't get all choppity.
17:30Stay put.
17:30Keep stum.
17:31You ain't done nothing wrong.
17:33Now breathe.
17:38You wanna gherkin' with that?
17:40I pickle my own.
17:42Very tasty.
17:45So you're, um...
17:47You're done with Dark Morris?
17:48Well, I think one foray was enough.
17:50Given the result and consequences.
17:53Understandable.
17:56Although I did like the masks.
17:57The way they were used as a disguise to hide the dancers' true identities and stop them being found out.
18:06Historically speaking.
18:08Obviously.
18:09Well, you've done your research, Inspector.
18:12Hmm.
18:14Although I suppose if Craig's allergy was triggered deliberately, and someone's still using their mask in much the same way.
18:25And if it was just an accident, as the rest of us believe, then he'd no crime to investigate.
18:35I would love to believe that.
18:38If only I could explain the EpiPen.
18:44You were the one who got Craig's EpiKit.
18:48Do you have any idea why the pen wasn't in there?
18:55Must have fallen out.
18:58Been mislaid.
19:00So...
19:01Another accident?
19:04It's the simplest explanation.
19:12Craig was...
19:14A popular member of the side.
19:17If a tad headstrong, like myself.
19:21It caused some issues at the start, but...
19:24I soon learned to...
19:28To embrace the challenges he offered.
19:32Why would anyone want to hurt him?
19:36What if he was too popular?
19:40With somebody's wife?
19:44I can assure you, Inspector.
19:47Holly takes her wedding vows as seriously as I do.
19:58Quite years ago.
20:00Guess that's the way life is.
20:02You can resist temptation for so long and then...
20:05Realise you've been fooling yourself the whole time.
20:09Is that how it was with Craig?
20:11Oh.
20:13You heard the gossip then.
20:15It's not true.
20:17We weren't having an affair.
20:18I...
20:19I wouldn't.
20:21I love my husband and...
20:24My kids.
20:25They're my life.
20:28What...
20:28Why would I jeopardise that for...
20:30For what?
20:32Sex.
20:33It's not worth it.
20:35Nothing is.
20:38Oh, God.
20:40I'm sorry.
20:41I just wish Craig...
20:43Hadn't come here.
20:46It's...
20:47It's changed everything.
20:50You can't help who you fall in love with.
20:53But you can decide what you do about it.
20:57You can...
20:58Choose to stop seeing them, even if it makes you really unhappy.
21:02You have to.
21:04Still hurts, though.
21:07For better...
21:08Or for worse.
21:09You have to do the right thing.
21:12For the sake of...
21:14Your family.
21:15Is that you talking?
21:17Or Matthew?
21:20This isn't his fault.
21:23It's mine.
21:28You do realise this is pointless.
21:30We don't have a dragon.
21:32Well, I'm volunteering to take his place.
21:35Don't worry.
21:36I've done Scottish country dancing.
21:38At school.
21:40Best Highland Fling.
21:41Under-15s.
21:43He won a medal.
21:44How is any of this relevant?
21:46Well, I need to experience the dance from Craig's point of view.
21:49Assess his interaction with the side.
21:51Before the side couldn't even make the rehearsal.
21:54We have jobs.
21:55We can't teach you the whole dance in a lunch hour.
21:58No, no, no.
21:58Not the whole dance.
21:59Just the last part before Craig collapsed.
22:03Who remembers when that was?
22:05It was just as I go to get the poison pie.
22:07I'll walk him through it.
22:09Fine.
22:10If we go from the dragon's battle.
22:13Inspector.
22:13You stand in the middle.
22:16Yes, all right.
22:16The others all around.
22:18Esther, are you ready?
22:20And wait in.
22:22Music maestro, please.
22:39All right, sorry, a little bit rusty.
22:42Don't stop.
22:43We're almost there.
22:46Sorry, I wasn't expecting that.
22:48How I would have peeled away to get the pie.
22:50And inspector, now.
22:52Now what?
22:53Oh, yeah, right there.
22:54Right, stop.
22:56I need to mark all your final positions.
23:04Are we done now?
23:06No, one more thing.
23:08Margot, when you peel off to get the poison pie, what was the prop you used?
23:14A pork pie.
23:15A real one?
23:16Yeah.
23:17The fake ones contain rubber.
23:19Did Kirby collect up that pie for testing?
23:21Because I've read with a latex allergy that there are certain foods that can also trigger a reaction.
23:26No, Bob ate it while we were waiting for the ambulance.
23:32I was hungry.
23:34Craig fell down before I even collected it, and it never went anywhere near him.
23:38And I was much further back than this.
23:41You dropping the staff, it threw me.
23:43I was more here.
23:47I think.
23:52Why are you looking at me?
23:54I never hurt him, I swear.
24:02Thanks.
24:04Sorry.
24:05It's too hot in there.
24:07Had a bit of a panic attack.
24:09It's okay.
24:10Take your time.
24:17I like Craig.
24:19He's a great guy.
24:21He gave me this fitness routine and a diet plan, helped me lose weight.
24:26I feel lucky to know him.
24:28Did he charge you for that advice, Bob?
24:30No, of course not.
24:31Why?
24:31Craig's bank details show you recently made two payments into his account.
24:37Both for £4,900.
24:39Just under the £5,000 threshold banks are required to report.
24:45It was an investment.
24:47We were going into business together.
24:49What kind of business?
24:50I don't know.
24:51I mean, um...
24:53It's not happening.
24:55Craig backed out, he told me he'd changed his mind.
24:58But he kept your money.
25:00Well, he'll repay it.
25:02He has to.
25:03What if he doesn't?
25:05What will you do to, er, persuade him?
25:08Well, I ain't gonna kill him, am I?
25:11How could he pay me back then?
25:13Except Craig isn't dead.
25:15So, triggering his allergy would serve as a pretty effective warning.
25:20Well, I wouldn't.
25:21I've never hurt anyone in my life.
25:24I'm a boring accountant who lives in a rented bedsit.
25:27It's why I gave Craig the money in the first place, so I could change things.
25:31And then he changes his mind and says he doesn't want to do it anymore.
25:35Having spent all my money, now that ain't right.
25:39And he knows it.
25:48Come on, Bob.
25:54What was the money for, Bob?
25:56This business you'd planned?
25:58What did Craig not want to do anymore?
26:02No comment.
26:12What have you and Bob been up to?
26:15Nothing, my sweet. I swear.
26:16My sweet's a strawberry chew. Answer the question.
26:21The day you joined the police was the day I turned my back on anything disreputable as a mark of
26:27respect.
26:29You told me you aided fishing, ever since that incident with the lobster.
26:33Which you have promised never to mention again.
26:36That's all Craig's gear. He borrows my van from time to time. Just dump the sticks on top.
26:45What a flaming hell is this?
26:47Now give that ear.
26:51Let's pretend you never saw that.
26:53If you've got nothing to hide, we'll just show it to the inspector and you can explain it to him.
26:58No need to get savage on me. Whatever you're thinking, all them cramby doubts, they're wrong.
27:06Prove it.
27:11It's my bad. I forgot it was in the van when I loaded up the Mara sticks.
27:17What do you use it for?
27:19Best waterproof in there is. Every boatyard has some.
27:23Isn't that a bit risky with Craig about?
27:26He don't use it on his boat and I keep it locked in my shed.
27:30It's only in the van because I lost my last lot in a break-in.
27:34I had to go to the depot, buy some more.
27:37Somebody stole it?
27:38Kids, probably. I had a camera on the shed and they broke that too.
27:42I asked Craig if he saw anything and he said no.
27:48Does Bob ever visit your boatyard, Marvellous?
27:51Bob told us he was going into business with Craig.
27:55He paid him a lot of money. Most of which Craig then paid to you.
28:01That's right. To buy the boat he's rebuilding.
28:05And he got a fair price.
28:07You want to look at my books? Go ahead. I got nothing to hide.
28:11This business that they were planning, were you involved in that too?
28:15Craig asked me, I said no.
28:21Out of respect for that goddess, who I still revere to this day.
28:32Are you taking medication we're not aware of, Marvellous?
28:35My only drug is love.
28:37And my only crime is not telling Margo how I felt till it was too late.
28:45So this Bob and Craig business was illegal then?
28:47It didn't happen and it won't.
28:50Not now that Craig's found the love of his life too.
28:54You mean Holly?
28:55I told him, if he were lucky enough to find his soul mate he should fight for him.
29:00And that's why Craig's staying and why the Bob business ain't happening.
29:05Does Holly know Craig's staying?
29:06He told everyone in the side during rehearsals.
29:10So Matthew knew as well?
29:12Should have kept my big garb shut, shouldn't I?
29:16We need to find out what business Bob and Craig were planning.
29:20And even more urgently, who stole Marvellous's liquid rubber?
29:24Unless he's lying of course, to cover why it was hidden in his van.
29:27Hmm.
29:41Hello house owner.
29:43Gosh, it's finally happening.
29:44It's amazing.
29:46I know.
29:47I'm online shopping already.
29:48I have this urge to buy furniture.
29:51What do you think about hanging oak chairs?
29:53Have you been sunbathing?
29:54Because I think you might have sunstroke.
29:57But we could buy a hammock for the garden and a duck house for Selwyn.
30:02Oh he'd love that.
30:04And mum will be just as pleased.
30:06It's driving her mad having us there the whole time.
30:08Well look, I hope she knows how much we appreciate it.
30:10Let's say it with wine and a takeaway.
30:13She really likes Thai.
30:14Chicken satay and green curry coming up.
30:19Martha?
30:20Sorry, it's just hit me.
30:23We're really doing this, aren't we?
30:25It's a big new adventure.
30:28I'm glad it's with you.
30:29Wouldn't have it any other way.
30:31Bye.
30:37What's that, Mr. Smith?
30:39He's been calling non-stop.
30:41I'm running out of excuses.
30:42No, Kelby, don't worry.
30:44It's okay.
30:44I'll deal with it.
30:45I have exactly the answer he needs.
30:47Any luck identifying that bird feather?
30:49Oh, yes.
30:51And it's not a bird.
30:53See, I think it's part of a fishing fly.
30:56What do you reckon?
31:00Oi!
31:02That's scrumpy at Kitty J's.
31:04There's a glass with my name on it.
31:06I have to work if you fancy it.
31:10Ho, ho, ho, ho!
31:12It's the perfect weapon.
31:15A metal fishing hook, coated in latex, one scratch, it's the collapse.
31:19But neither Bob, Marvellous, or Matthew got close enough to Craig to be able to scratch him.
31:24If the hook was attached to the staff, it might have done.
31:26But that would have left latex traces on the staff and there weren't any.
31:32Margot!
31:33You said there were fishing rods in Marvellous's van.
31:36A fishing line attached to a staff would be near invisible at night.
31:40Is he still outside?
31:41No.
31:41He's gone now.
31:42Kelby!
31:44Can you go to his boat yard and bring back that broken security camera?
31:47We need to get it fixed to find out if someone stole that latex as he claims.
31:51He wouldn't have lied about that.
31:52Then why won't he tell us what Craig and Bob were up to?
31:55I'm getting an answer to that tonight.
31:57You just leave it with me.
32:01It can have been a fishing line.
32:03It's too haphazard and noticeable.
32:05Well, let's watch and find out.
32:21Inspector.
32:21Not now, please, Margot.
32:26So, not just me you ignore, but your staff too.
32:29Oh, interesting.
32:30Mr. Smith.
32:32I was about to call.
32:33I thought we should FaceTime instead.
32:35Trim the fat in person.
32:37Um, Esther, Margot, this is Mr. Smith.
32:40Superintendent Woods, replacement at the hub.
32:42If you're not too busy, Sergeant, my battle elixir for the war against crime is a decaf soy latte.
32:47I believe the ones at the 10 mile are excellent.
32:50Well, I am actually worried.
32:51I'm sure you can expand your bandwidth to multitask me up a biscotti as well.
32:57Inspector, shall we?
32:58Um, yeah, of course.
33:00It's that way.
33:03Um...
33:06Flat white for me.
33:08No sugar, thanks.
33:11Now, you have caught me on the hop a bit.
33:14And I will get Margot to do a proper spreadsheet.
33:20But I think these ideas clearly show how we can save enough money to keep funding all our staff.
33:25You see, this is the problem.
33:28You're trying to boil the ocean.
33:30Instead, focus on deliverables and close the loop.
33:33Which member of staff are you going to lose?
33:35Well, see, that's my point.
33:36I thought we could solve the problem in a more people-friendly manner.
33:39We're downsizing for the future.
33:41Not me.
33:42I'm juggling balls non-stop throughout the day.
33:45If your sergeant has time to get coffee, then how relevant is she?
33:49Well, that's hardly fair.
33:49You are her superior.
33:51She was just doing what you are.
33:52We need blue skies, Inspector.
33:54Not sheep.
33:55And it's your job to dance the needle in that direction.
34:01Understood?
34:14Do you ever worry you drink too much caffeine?
34:17Says the man who sells alcohol for a living.
34:20They say wine has its health benefits.
34:22It can be therapeutic at times.
34:24I'm more of a beer person myself.
34:27That's not how I remember it.
34:28Well, that's nostalgia for you.
34:31Everyone looks better in hindsight.
35:01You're right, Esther.
35:02It wasn't a fishing line.
35:04It must be something else.
35:05What did Mr Smith want?
35:07What?
35:07Why did he send me off like that?
35:10Um...
35:11Oh, no reason.
35:13It's just his manner.
35:14He's lucky I didn't deck him.
35:16Yes, good restraint, Sergeant.
35:18Well done.
35:19Kelby, is that marvellous security camera?
35:22Shouldn't it be with tech support?
35:24Oh, they've got a backlog of cases.
35:26It's going to take them weeks.
35:28So, I thought I'd have a go myself.
35:31It's a bit, uh...
35:33Zwozrony, mind.
35:37Complicated.
35:38It's Polish.
35:39Agnieszka called me it last night.
35:41She said it was a compliment.
35:43New girlfriend.
35:44Don't ask.
35:47Very good.
35:49Oh, I'm going home.
35:50I can't hear that music again.
35:52It's like an earworm.
35:53No, the answer must be here somewhere.
35:55I'm just not seeing it.
35:57Craig's allergy was triggered by someone unseen
36:00while we were watching it.
36:02How?
36:04Maybe the latex was on Margot's strawberry chew.
36:12You've cracked the case, Sherlock.
36:16Remind me.
36:17What was my motive?
36:19You've admitted fancying Craig.
36:22He fancied Holly.
36:24Oh.
36:24It's a classic case of unrequited love demanding payback.
36:30Night all.
36:34If I ever do decide to kill someone,
36:37she'll be the first to know.
36:50How on earth did this happen?
36:52It wasn't me.
36:53It was a golf cart.
36:54Nearly ran me over on the fairway.
36:56I'm lucky it wasn't my leg.
36:58Did you at least get the committer you wanted?
37:01Sports and culture.
37:02Sadly, no.
37:04One look at my golf swing told Lance, my talents lie elsewhere.
37:09Oh, you're strong on culture though.
37:10I certainly gave that cart driver some Anglo-Saxon advice.
37:19Hi!
37:21You've got a house!
37:22I know, and I bring Thai takeaway in to celebrate.
37:25We can now head over tomorrow and start renovating.
37:27Oh, it's very exciting.
37:28Have we decided who you're going to use?
37:30I think we'll just do it ourselves.
37:32Yeah.
37:33Oh, you'll need a professional.
37:34Make sure it's done properly.
37:36No offence, Humphrey.
37:39What about that Morris leader?
37:41Matthew.
37:42Isn't he an architect?
37:44Yes, and a suspect in the case for investigating.
37:47Is that the allergy one?
37:49There's a Mr. Smith was talking about that on the golf course.
37:52He's not convinced it's a genuine crime.
37:57I'm sorry, what?
37:58Mr. Smith?
38:00Yes, from the hub.
38:01He was one of our group.
38:03Very charming.
38:04And a very good golfer.
38:06Oh, so that's one of the balls he's been juggling, is it?
38:09He's very concerned about you.
38:11And about your whole team, in fact.
38:14He's worried you're wasting police time investigating something that could be an accident.
38:18Well, it wasn't.
38:19And I'm not.
38:25I'll get her some plates and glasses.
38:27Oh, it's very exciting.
38:29Can't wait to see it tomorrow.
38:30Me neither.
38:31I'm sorry about your committee.
38:34Oh, never mind.
38:34I'm sure I'll find some other way to serve the community.
38:42She doesn't know about Mr. Smith.
38:44Don't be cross with her.
38:45I'm not. I'm angry at him.
38:47They're questioning my team's work ethic while he's off playing golf.
38:51Not a genuine crime.
38:53Craig's allergy was triggered deliberately.
38:55I know it.
38:59I just don't know by who.
39:02Or how.
39:16I thought you'd promised I wouldn't be a fishing widow anymore.
39:20I'm just sorting everything out to sell on eBay.
39:24These are broken.
39:27And don't worry, I'll make sure they're disposed of safely.
39:52It's not a date. I know that.
39:55It's you and me having a drink.
39:58And that made me feel.
39:59It's not a date. I know that.
39:59I know that.
40:02Floor it.
40:06I'll put them on one of my ex-husband's graves.
40:11Now, deal the tiles.
40:14Cheers.
40:15One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
40:17One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
40:19Go.
40:29Well, come on then.
40:30The suspense is killing me.
40:32What do you mean?
40:33You've cooked dinner.
40:34Bought more beer.
40:36There's muffins for afters.
40:37This is teenage code for I've done something or I'm about to.
40:40Oh, my God.
40:42You're so cynical.
40:47And right, obviously.
40:50Okay, so...
40:52I've put together an itinerary.
40:57I want to go travelling.
40:59Load up my backpack, get a round-the-world ticket
41:01and have some adventures.
41:04I've been talking to Martha and she's been really encouraging, but...
41:08You told Martha before me.
41:11She's been giving me loads of extra shifts so I can build up my savings.
41:16I've got enough for a ticket already.
41:19I have to do this, Mum.
41:21Soon or I'll never do it all.
41:25So who's stopping you?
41:28You are.
41:29I just wonder what you'll do, whether you'll be alright.
41:32Of course I will.
41:34I just...
41:35I don't want you to be lonely.
41:37Especially since you've broken up with Archie.
41:39Oh, please.
41:41He still likes you, you know.
41:42Well, I'm a very lovable person.
41:46You are.
41:50I'm gonna miss you.
41:54So I'll phone all the time, wherever I am.
41:57Better had.
41:57And I promise I'll be back.
42:02Are you sure you're okay about it?
42:04If it's what you want?
42:05Yes, great.
42:06Go for it.
42:10Hmm.
42:30Where are fours?
42:33Why is Bob watching us like that?
42:36I don't know.
42:37Maybe he can't believe that dreams do come true
42:40Hmm
42:43Okay
42:45Time to wake up
42:47Because I'm here for one reason
42:49And that's to save your sorry sentimental ass
42:54You're a suspect
42:55In an attempted murder investigation
42:57So you need to tell me what Craig and that global mob were planning
43:00Or we are never, ever
43:02Gonna sit here and drink scrumpy again
43:05Got it
43:08Smuggling
43:09That was Craig and Bob's new business
43:11Apparently Craig built secret compartments into the boat's hull
43:16Marva said he'd show you
43:18But only because it was a plan that never happened
43:20Well because Craig fell in love and vetoed the idea
43:23We really have to talk to him
43:25Is there any word yet from the hospital?
43:26Lucy said he'll be conscious later today
43:28She'll call me soon as
43:29Sir, I'm getting somewhere with this camera
43:32I should have it fixed soon
43:33Right, we'll be at the boatyard
43:35Let us know when you do
43:36Thank you, Kirby
43:48I was blackmailed to show you these
43:51I want that on record
43:53Right
43:54And what contraband were they planning to hide?
43:57That's the limit of my knowledge
43:58I'm showing you an empty space
44:00And it's gonna stay that way
44:02You can't arrest people for an idea they've decided against
44:08Understood
44:10Thank you, Marvellous
44:26It's all a bit Mary Celeste
44:29You'd think he'd have something of Holly's here
44:32Photo
44:33Or a bit of clothing
44:37You know, it's a little big forehead, don't you think?
44:42Colby
44:45Hello?
44:46All right, we're coming now
44:48Esther?
44:50Colby's fixed the camera
44:51Says we need to see it right away
44:56Okay, so I've set it up to play from just before the break-in
45:00Is there no sound?
45:02Not on this model, but look
45:13Oh, that's not good
45:24I went there to beg him to leave
45:27I said I could cope with being unhappy
45:32As long as my children felt safe and loved instead of abandoned
45:39I didn't know Matthew had followed me
45:42What happened?
45:44What happened after Matthew smashed the camera?
45:46Did he go into the shed, take the latex?
45:47No, he just left
45:50He didn't take anything
45:51Holly, he didn't take it
45:53He wouldn't
45:53You don't understand
45:55Please, I have nothing else to say
45:59You have to go
46:02We will need to talk to Matthew about this incident
46:05Yes, and Craig too, when he's fully conscious
46:08Is he allowed visitors?
46:10No, not yet
46:12Soon
46:14Benji
46:16Benji, can you stop that?
46:18You put the pipe down, it's not a toy
46:21Sorry
46:26DS Williams
46:33Hi
46:40Great, okay
46:43It's Lucy
46:45Craig's awake and responsive
46:46She says we can question him
46:49Ask her if he has a cut
46:51On his head
46:53Some kind of graze
46:55What?
46:56A cut on the back of his head
46:58Ask her to check now, please, if she can
47:03D.I. Goodman would like you to check to see if Craig has a cut or graze on the back
47:08of his head, please, Lucy
47:10Yes, no
47:14Great, one sec
47:16Yes, a slight graze, why?
47:20I need to listen again to the footage we took of the Morris dance
47:23Oh, not again, which one?
47:25Both of them
47:27I knew these held the answer, but it wasn't that I couldn't see it
47:31It was that I just didn't hear it
47:35Close your eyes, please
47:37All of you, listen
47:39For what?
47:40Your favourite, the knucklehole tune
47:42This is from the rehearsal we did yesterday lunchtime
47:53Now this is from the music from the actual dance when Craig suffered his allergy attack
48:04They're different
48:05Exactly
48:06In the rehearsal, Holly's pipe plays throughout
48:09But on the night of the dance, Holly's pipe stops prematurely, leaving only the fiddle and drum playing
48:14Meaning what?
48:16That Holly was the one that tried to kill Craig
48:20She was standing directly behind Craig as the side danced
48:22She pretends to keep playing, but slips a metal dart fashioned from a fishing flyhook coated in latex into the
48:29end of her pipe
48:30Everybody was watching the dart as no one's looking at her
48:33When Craig got close, she uses her pipe as a weapon to shoot the dart at the back of his
48:38head
48:40Penetrating the skin, guaranteed the latex reaction would be at its most severe
48:44She then carries on playing as normal
48:46It stops as Craig falls and rushes to his aid
48:49She had to reach him first to get rid of the dart
48:51Hence the nick and bruising to the head
48:52Yeah, his epipen
48:53Calling out for help and acting distressed just bolstered her alibi
48:56No one would suspect her
48:59Everyone thought she was Craig's lover
49:02But she was his lover, wasn't she?
49:04Why would she try and kill him?
49:06Because the person Craig was having an affair with wasn't Holly
49:09It was her husband, Matthew
49:15Holly was a fishing widow in more ways than one
49:18You were right about the clothing
49:20Craig did have something his lover wore
49:25He had his shirt
49:28If only he took it from Matthew
49:31It was a keepsake for when Matthew stayed home
49:33Playing doting husband and father to Holly and his kids
49:37And Holly knew what was happening
49:39She was talking about Matthew outside the community centre
49:43I just wish Craig hadn't come here
49:47It's changed everything
49:48You can't help who you fall in love with
49:51But you can decide what you do about it
49:54You can choose to stop
49:56Seeing them, even if it makes you really unhappy
49:59You have to
50:02I doubt Craig's the first indiscretion Holly's had to put up with
50:05But she'd always tolerated it as long as it was temporary
50:08Then Craig decided to stay
50:10To fight for his new life
50:12And Holly couldn't let that happen
50:15She made one final appeal
50:17Begging him to leave
50:18She knew Matthew's punishment wouldn't change things
50:21Even if he wanted it to
50:23But Craig wasn't going to accept that
50:26He was going to force Matthew to choose
50:29So Holly knew she had to act
50:32So when Matthew left
50:34She went straight into the shed
50:37And took the latex solution
50:41Using Matthew's fishing gear and Craig's wooden flute
50:44To end their affair
50:45Must have felt grimly appropriate
50:56Taking the epi-pen while everyone prepared for the dance
50:58Was easy enough
50:59Everything was set
51:01The only thing that went wrong
51:03The ambulance got there too quickly
51:07So then later when we saw her at the hospital
51:11She didn't go there to check on Craig
51:15She went to finish him off
51:18She knows he's awake now
51:19She asked about visiting him
51:21What if she's thinking of trying again?
51:35Holly, stop
51:40You're under arrest
51:41For what?
51:42I'm just coming to see my friend
51:45Let me through
51:45Don't let her touch him
51:48This is ridiculous
51:51Look, I know it was you, Holly
51:53I don't know how you did it
51:54But you're not getting a second chance
51:56How many second chances have I given you?
51:59She's got something on her hands
52:00Okay, all right
52:01Oh, Holly
52:02All right, okay
52:03Stop it
52:04You can't
52:05I've got a bag
52:05Why couldn't you have chosen me?
52:07Just one
52:08Okay, get her
52:09Holly, just don't
52:11Don't
52:12Take her out
52:12No way
52:13He doesn't want to press charges
52:14You're under arrest
52:15He's going to sail off
52:16Abroad
52:17Like he said
52:18Isn't that right?
52:20Is that what you want, Matthew?
52:26I want
52:28My children to have their mother
52:32And me
52:36I'm sorry
52:39I'm afraid it's up to the CPS
52:41Whether they decide to prosecute
52:43No one here can make that decision
52:46Sorry
53:02It's the kids I feel sorry for most
53:05How did you begin to repair that?
53:07I don't know
53:09The irony is
53:10It's the same ending as the legend
53:11The villager who poisons the knucklehole dragon
53:14Ends up killing themselves with the same poison by mistake
53:18Holly hoped getting rid of Crate would save her family
53:21But she ended up destroying it as a result
53:24That's what happens when you're not honest with each other
53:29You lose everything
53:34Just ask Marvelous
53:49No more dancing for us then
53:52I'm going to drown my sorrows with a scrumpy and a game of dominoes
53:57If my guardian angel would care to join me
54:00So I can thank her properly for all her kindness
54:05This is still not a date
54:07I know that
54:08I never will be
54:09You're too weird and strange for any of that nonsense
54:12As long as you tolerate me
54:14I'm happy
54:17Florid even
54:18Ahah
54:19Yeah, come on then
54:25I found love
54:33Go ahead
54:35Whoo, yeah
54:40Sit
54:42That I would not let you go
54:50It was summer
54:56And the rain was at bay
55:04You came like the storm
55:08That washed me away
55:17And if only
55:19Life was this easy
55:22I'd write a book about
55:25Every time you kissed me
55:28It was true, true, true love
55:35We own a house
55:37Oh my God, it's scary, isn't it?
55:40Does that mean we're grown-ups?
55:42It means we're not living with your mother anymore
55:45Allow me, madam
55:46Your wall
55:49Gosh, there's a lot to do, isn't there?
55:53Masses
55:55Exciting, though
55:55I'm glad it's just you and me again
55:59Oh, you know what?
56:01What?
56:01We didn't bring any glasses
56:08Love it
56:11Hello?
56:12Is anyone home?
56:14Oh, is there no escape?
56:17We're out here, Mum
56:21Happy housewarming
56:22I've brought some treats to celebrate
56:28Glasses, genius
56:29And a box of truffles, even better
56:34I want to put you in a good mood
56:36Help make my next news a little easier
56:41Go on
56:43I've been allotted a place on a committee
56:46Oh, what did you get in the end?
56:49Well, thanks to that nice Mr. Smith
56:52I've been given a seat on the police and crime panel
56:55Overseeing your activities
56:58I do hope it won't be a problem
57:00Cheers
57:03Someone spotted the mermaid

57:07Tideline Farms
