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.
00:30Oh 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.
00:59No.
01:04No.
01:14One morning in the month of June
01:17Down by a rolling river
01:19There a weary tribe
01:20A chance to stray
01:22And he beheld his lover
01:23Her cheeks were red
01:25Her eyes were brown
01:26Her hair in ring was hanging down
01:29She got a lovely face
01:30Without a frown
01:31Just as the tide was flowing
01:48Must have been there all night
01:50So this happened when exactly?
01:52It was about dusk around seven
01:54Just getting hard to see
01:56So I was thinking of packing up
01:58Someone grabbed me from behind
01:59Put something over my face
02:01Like an old rag
02:02Do you recall what the rag smelled like?
02:04Chemicals
02:05But sort of sweet
02:06Chloroform?
02:09I've got images from the scene
02:11And the road
02:12In both directions
02:13From the kissing gate
02:14Alright thanks Kelby
02:15We also passed a speed camera
02:17About half a mile back
02:18See if you can get anything from that
02:20Okay
02:20My bike's on the truck
02:22I'll head back now
02:22I thought I was a goner
02:25Everything went
02:27Weird
02:27I blacked out
02:29And I woke up seeing
02:30You lot looking down at me
02:31Didn't know if I was in heaven or hell
02:33Yeah
02:35Did you see anyone there?
02:36I haven't got eyes in the back of my head
02:37Have I?
02:37Right
02:38And when it happened
02:39Were you facing the hedgerow?
02:41Or the field?
02:42Er
02:42Hedgerow
02:43I was putting new steak in
02:45May I?
02:47What are you going to do with that?
02:48Just a second
02:53Yeah lovely
02:54Can we ask what you were doing in the field?
02:57Er
02:57Working for the outer mistake
02:59Doing what?
03:00Groundsman
03:00Putting up no trespassing sign
03:02Stop people straying off the footpath
03:04And is that a problem?
03:05Oh it is
03:06Since the layabouts in the top field
03:07Found out there was a shortcut
03:08The off-gridders?
03:09Yeah
03:09Like I said
03:10Layabouts
03:11It's not oil paint
03:11It's acrylic
03:13Oh does that mean it'll wash off?
03:15Oh yes
03:16Yes it does
03:16Yeah
03:16It's water-based
03:17Yeah
03:18Which means it's also excellent
03:20For writing on fabric
03:31Well I hear it's 1991
03:33Seems our freedom's dead and gone
03:36Power of the rich is held by few
03:41You keep the young ones paralysed
03:43Educated by your life
03:46Keep the old ones happy with the new
03:50Tell her sing a night
03:52Sing 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
04:08Good morning
04:09I hope you've got court papers
04:12Why 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
04:19That's not why we're here
04:21I'm D.R. Goodman
04:21This is D.S. Williams
04:23A man was assaulted
04:24Putting 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
04:37And covered in ivy
04:42Looks like you're a 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 Wardry
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
05:45If 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
06:12He's got to get rid of these people
06:14Now
06:14I 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
06:21Mr Outram assaulted his own worker?
06:23I'm suggesting he's capable of that
06:24And more
06:25And he'll do whatever it takes
06:26To 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
07:23Turned out he was alive
07:24And someone had painted him green
07:26So they're on the way back
07:28Right
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, sugarcoat and everything
07:40Exactly
07:41So, um, how would you describe me?
07:45Be as brutal as you like
07:49Well, as you're asking
07:51You're nice
07:52Some might say
07:54Too 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
08:08That 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
08:20People ask of you
08:21Stops everyone
08:22Treating you like a dog's body
08:24Works wonders
08:31I, um, checked the speed camera
08:34Like 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
08:42Paul and Lee Outram
08:43When their mother died
08:44Four months ago
08:45It comprises the main house
08:46And 29 acres
08:48The field
08:49Adjacent to the B511
08:50Where the off-gridders are
08:52Has been granted
08:52Outline planning permission
08:53That permission is subject
08:56To the current dispute
08:57Being resolved
08:57Yeah, yeah
08:58What is that dispute exactly?
09:00Morning
09:00Morning
09:01Thank you
09:03The off-gridders
09:05Are claiming adverse possession
09:07Formerly known as
09:07Squatter's Rights
09:08Based on the fact
09:09That they've had
09:10A recognisable presence
09:11On that land
09:12For over a decade
09:13Outram Holdings Limited
09:15Refutes that claim
09:17On the basis
09:17That they were originally
09:18Given permission
09:19To use the land
09:20By the late Mrs Outram
09:21And therefore
09:22Adverse possession law
09:23Doesn't apply
09:24She was in my archery class
09:26She joined when her husband
09:27Keith left her in 2016
09:29And what about her sons?
09:31I don't really know Paul
09:32The older one
09:33He moved away
09:34Just after he left college
09:36Some big shot in London
09:38Last I heard
09:39Young Lee
09:40Stayed at home though
09:41Helped with the farm
09:42He was a bit of a mummy's boy
09:45The old man
09:46Was a nasty piece of work
09:48We're all glad
09:49To see the back of him
09:51I heard Paul
09:52Moved back home though
09:53When Katie died
09:53And were you aware
09:55Of the brothers
09:55Having a difference of opinion
09:56Over the family estate?
09:58I heard something
09:59I think Lee
10:00Lodge
10:00An official objection
10:01To the house build
10:02Sounds like they've fallen out
10:03Yes
10:04I was going to see
10:05What they have to say
10:07Kelby
10:08Go back up to the off-griders
10:09If you will
10:10Let's take statements
10:11From everyone living there
10:12Ensuring they all account
10:13For their whereabouts
10:14At the time of the assault
10:15Sir
10:16Margot
10:16So we've got the lab
10:18Doing a paint match for us
10:19Chase that up would you
10:20And let's get background checks
10:22On the Atron family
10:23Rightio
10:25Let's go
10:31Mum was too soft
10:32She should never have let
10:33More Nutfield in the first place
10:36Then why did she?
10:37Turns out she was a child
10:38Of the 60s
10:39All free love and peace
10:41Who knew
10:43We weren't really the kind of family
10:44That sat around the fire
10:45Telling each other's stories
10:46What kind of family were you?
10:49Dad worked hard
10:50Mostly ruled the roost
10:51Mum took care of the house
10:52And your brother?
10:54He was generally to be found
10:56Hanging on to mum's open strings
10:58Did you not get on?
11:00We're different people
11:01But he's still my brother
11:01And yet he seems to have
11:03Taken the side of the off-gridders
11:04Against you
11:05Well he's soft
11:05Like mum
11:07Which means people
11:08Take advantage of him
11:09So he wants him to stay?
11:10I don't think Lee knows
11:11What he wants
11:12He just doesn't like confrontation
11:14I don't have that
11:17Problem
11:17Can you tell us where you were last night?
11:20Around 7pm onwards
11:21And that's relevant because
11:22Because that's when your groundsman was assaulted
11:25And 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
11:39It 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?
11:54OK
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 up for the grinding of teeth or the wringing of hands
12:37OK, so, uh, what time did the Pan Piper class finish?
12:42Nine sharp
12:43So the Pipers could join the Stones ceremony, which was 9 to 10.30
12:47The Stones ceremony?
12:50Stones represent our ancestors
12:52We like to draw on their power
12:56Right
12:58It's OK
12:59We don't expect you to believe
13:01Oh, no, I do
13:04Maybe not the Stone bit
13:05But whether I do or don't
13:07I 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 all right
13:18Obviously, if you wanted to throw them, that would be different
13:24Why would we throw the Stones?
13:26They're very heavy
13:27Yeah, yeah, no, um
13:30So, uh, so who did the Pipes or the Stones ceremony?
13:38Oh, wow
13:39OK, so everyone did both
13:42Yeah
13:42Except for Janice
13:44She was worm charming
13:45I got 39
13:47Yeah, um, right, so, um, 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
13:59OK
14:00And what time was that?
14:02Not sure
14:02But I think we were back before seven
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
14:14So 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 her dad left
14:23About ten 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
14:32When 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 set it 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
15:14He 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
15:23Offered them ten grand each
15:24And they refused?
15:25He don't care about money
15:27He's too ignorant to see that
15:29So now he has to convince the council they're a nuisance
15:31So that he can evict them and send the bulldozers in
15:33But won't you still get rich in the process?
15:36This was a working farm once
15:38And it could be that again
15:40That's all I need
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 from me
16:09Lee, can you tell us where you were last night?
16:12Between seven and eight
16:12At home
16:14On your own?
16:15Well, Paul went out to get something to eat
16:17So, yeah
16:19Did you see or speak to anyone else during that time?
16:25No
16:35Yeah, I'll tell him as soon as he's back
16:38Thank you
16:43The hub again
16:45Charlie Woosh didn't call us every day
16:47I think there's something going on
16:49Maybe 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
17:12Pardon 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 J's
17:35I'd have thought with you buying a plane ticket
17:39She'd at least want you to meet her
17:42I don't 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, as 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
18:06And I say tomato
18:07Let's just leave it at that, shall we?
18:18I want the planning agent to have the full application
18:20Ready 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
18:49I'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?
19:01Well, 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
19:15I 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
19:33Monty, I thought you could tackle a 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?
19:44Too busy
19:45I must 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
20:13No, it's just a, just a, just a thing
20:16It's like an admin thing
20:18It's not even a thing
20:19Really, it's like a, like a query
20:22There's nothing for you to worry about
20:24Or anyone else
20:25It's just a thing
20:27Okay
20:27Perfectly 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 Altrum 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. Altrum?
21:23Katie's husband and the boy's father
21:25Keith?
21:26Hmm
21:26Could 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
21:37Hmm
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
21:48Let'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
21:58By person or persons unseen
22:00Now
22:00We know that the paint came from the camp
22:02So
22:03It seems perfectly reasonable to assume
22:05That the perpetrators came from there, too
22:07Or
22:08Someone went to a lot of trouble
22:10To make it appear that way
22:11But whoever it was
22:13Still had to be able to get the paint from the camp workshop
22:16Excellent point, Kelby
22:17Yes, and I can't imagine Paul Altrum could get into that camp
22:21Without being noticed
22:24But Lee Altrum could
22:27Yes
22:28Thanks for getting her care of and of course
22:29Do
22:30I would say
22:30No
22:31I don't care
22:48I don't care
22:52I don't care
22:53I don't care
22:55Don't care
22:55I don't care
22:55I don't care
22:56I don't care
22:57Many people
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
23:22I didn't realise you had someone there
23:24It was a mistake
23:25I was sort of passing
23:26And 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, er, nothing
23:36Just a pair of hair straighteners
23:38Zoe's probably packed them to take away
23:39You 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
23:52Oh, I need to get back to work
23:54We're in the middle of a case
23:55Sorry
23:55Of course
23:56Bye
23:56Bye
23:56Bye
24:02Mum used to tell me
24:04Never to talk about the Green Man
24:06Because when you do
24:07Something bad always happens
24:10She seems to have quite the reputation
24:13Oh, fascinating fact
24:14There are
24:1872 pubs in the UK
24:20Called the Green Man
24:22I've read that on a beer man
24:24I like that fact
24:26Thanks, Viv
24:27Thanks, Viv
24:28OK
24:29So I can't find any records for Keith Outram
24:33I've checked with the solicitors dealing with Katie Outram's will
24:36No, they've had no contact from him either
24:38So he must be happy in his new life
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
24:49Then left just after 8.30 last night
24:51So the only person who cannot account for his whereabouts is Lee Outram
24:55Someone 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
25:09And of course he'd be well placed to keep up to speed with his brother's plans
25:14And to share that information with the off-gridders
25:16Or it could be a double bluff
25:18Maybe he befriended the community
25:21So he could watch what they're doing
25:22And him and Paul are actually in cahoots
25:29Ship now at police
25:32Just, just a moment
25:35It's him
25:40Who?
25:42Mr. Smith
26:00Inspector Goodman
26:06Yes, absolutely
26:10No, I haven't
26:13Yes, I will
26:16Yes, without fail
26:20Right
26:33Why didn't you tell us?
26:35Well
26:37I was hoping it would go away, if I'm honest
26:39Well
26:41That wasn't likely to happen, was it?
26:44The hub doesn't usually change its mind
26:46No
26:49Are you angry with me?
26:50Yes
26:50For trying to deal with this on your own
26:52We're supposed to be a team
26:55Exactly
26:55Look, if I thought there was a solution
26:57I would have shared it with you
26:59But there isn't
27:00I have to lose
27:01One member of the team
27:04Fine
27:05Then I've already retired once
27:07I'll retire again
27:08No
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
27:15You'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
27:24No
27:25Loathe as I am to say this
27:26In case you use it against me at some point in the future
27:29But
27:30I can only really do what I do
27:33Because
27:34All of you are doing most of the real work
27:37On my own
27:38I just
27:39Run around bumping into things
27:46We could draw lots
27:48What?
27:49Paper scissors?
27:49Spin the bottle
27:54No
27:55No
27:55No, I'm the senior officer
27:57It's my place to make the decision
27:59No one else is
28:01Well, I'll back your decision
28:03Whatever you decide
28:06We all will
28:08All for one
28:09One for all
28:16D.S. Williams
28:20On our way
28:23Out from my state
28:29Right
28:41Is it safe to go in now and see everything or what?
28:43Yeah, all okay
28:44Go ahead
28:44All right, thanks 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
28:57And when I got back
28:57And where are you at home?
28:58No, 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
29:05And 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
29:12Taken off my land
29:13We'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
29:18And arrest them
29:19Mr. Outram, please calm down
29:20We'll deal with this
29:21Just let us do our job
29:23Well, just make sure you do
29:24They've assaulted my groundsman
29:26And now this
29:27How long before they kill someone?
29:35You have no right to come here
29:37Accusing 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
29:42Does 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
29:52Not really
29:53I...
29:54Didn't know it'd gone
29:56Right
29:57Okay, we're going to have to take you in for questioning
30:00You're under arrest
30:00Upon suspicion of arson
30:02You do not have to say anything
30:04But it may harm your defence
30:05If you do not mention when questioned
30:06Something you later rely on in court
30:08Okay?
30:09Come on
30:09Janice
30:11But he hasn't done anything
30:15It's like this
30:21I've never been in trouble with the police before
30:23Not even the odd demo or protest meeting?
30:26No, no, nothing
30:28I used to work in stationery
30:30I only joined the off-grid community
30:32When 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
30:48Had to walk past there
30:49To 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
31:00And 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
31:09Is 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
31:30Well, 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
31:48No
31:49I 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
32:02If he'd have done any of this
32:04He'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 alright if I left a little bit earlier today?
32:18Only I've got a squeeze in
32:20A bath
32:21A hair wash
32:22And a face mask in
32:24Before half six
32:27Got a hot date?
32:28Sort of
32:29In that case, off you go
32:31Oh, thank you, sir
32:33Never let it be said that I got in the way
32:35Have a hot date
32:37No, I'll
32:39Er
32:42What was all that about?
32:43Agnieszka'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
32:54She's supposed to be meeting him in the pub after work
32:58It's not going to end well
32:59I just know it
33:01Oh, no, poor Kelby
33:02Okay
33:03So, let's release Edmund
33:04I'm not convinced he's our man
33:06And then let's run through where we are
33:09There must be something we're missing
33:18I've worked
33:19And by the light of a silvery moon
33:24Where we were old on home all singing still
33:30One more for the spools of life
33:32One more before you go
33:34Feel your glass and make it last
33:36One more before you go
33:42Those who've journeyed far may find
33:46A sheltered port in a stormy sea
33:50And a heathen from the gills of life
33:55To bring their spirits all to peace
34:04Take a deep breath
34:06Why?
34:07Just do it
34:10Mum's surprise dinner guest is here
34:14Rock through, but it's all in that backswing
34:17Yeah
34:19Hi
34:21You see your ankles
34:23Nice and easy
34:25You see your ankles
34:26Make it last
34:27One more before you go
34:31Before you go
34:38Oh, thank you
34:40Oh, thank you
34:43Oh, thank you
34:54Yeah, but we told you what he's making Humphrey do
34:56I know, darling
34:57That's exactly the point
34:59I mean, perhaps it will make things easier between them
35:02If we all get on
35:03I think if it is a brand new dawn
35:10Very nice of Anne to invite me
35:12Yes, it was
35:14I hope it doesn't make you feel uncomfortable
35:18Uncom...
35:19Uh, no
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
35:38Yes, during the first wave of the pandemic
35:41It was...
35:42It was very sad
35:44Oh, heavens, yes
35:46Terrible affair
35:49I'm surprised she hasn't been snapped up
35:52Here we are
35:55That looks amazing, Anne
35:57Thank you
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
36:18Thank you
36:20She'll be a sec
36:35Just so you know
36:37I've just got off the phone to my solicitors
36:39They said that now there's been an arrest
36:41Any claim your friends may have had on the land
36:43Has just quite literally
36:45Gone up in smoke
36:49Looks like the diggers can move in
37:07I was passing
37:09In the loo, is she?
37:11No
37:12I'll get you another drink
37:23What 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
37:42And 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, it was an odd sight
38:03And have 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
38:11Yeah, yeah, the Outram brothers, isn't it?
38:14Yes
38:14Do you know them?
38:17Well, one of them
38:21I'm a keen detectorist
38:23Yep
38:23And we have permission to detect on all the fields alongside the public footpath
38:28Apart from his
38:29He refused
38:30Point blank
38:32A couple of them to see him
38:33You know, plead our case
38:35But
38:36Wouldn't even listen
38:37Yeah
38:37Most objectionable human being
38:40Yeah, I think I know which one you're referring to
38:43Lee
38:44Yeah, that's it
38:46Lee
38:47Outram
38:57Maybe our flight was delayed
38:59No, I checked
39:03It's her loss
39:04Yeah, exactly
39:06But you've got me and Margot instead
39:09Yeah
39:14Would you buy her?
39:17Fruit and nut
39:18Our favourite chocolate
39:19I love fruit and nut
39:33Agnieszka
39:34Kelby
39:39I'm so sorry
39:40They dropped me
39:41It's completely the wrong place
39:42I was walking around trying to find you
39:54Perhaps 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
40:08Oh, wait
40:09Let me get your phone
40:11Oh
40:13Um, goodnight, Mr. Smith
40:15Martha
40:20We didn't really talk about our outstanding HR issue, did we, Humphrey?
40:25No
40:25You 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
40:38Thank 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
40:58Kelby has told me so much about you
41:00Oh, that's nice
41:02You were always looking after him
41:04I think because you're old, you were like mothers
41:09I 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
41:21Thank you for helping me
41:22Some people would not have been so trusting
41:27You're very welcome
41:29So, are you hungry?
41:31We could eat here
41:33Or 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 okay on the sofa, it's really comfy
41:44But aren't you sleeping with me?
41:50Well, I...
41:51But I love cuddles so much
41:59What will you do?
42:01I have no idea
42:06Anyway
42:08That is tomorrow's problem
42:12How was your day?
42:14Okay
42:15Yeah, sure
42:18You seemed a little, um...
42:23Truculent
42:25Truculent?
42:26Truculent?
42:26Mm-hmm
42:28I 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
42:39Okay
42:40Here's an idea
42:42Let's take
42:44What's left of the wine up
42:46And go and pick out some
42:49More papers
42:51Yes
42:53Night, Mum
42:55Night, dear
42:56Night, Anne
42:58Oh, I forgot to tell you
43:01Builder's called
43:01Part of the roof has collapsed
43:04Bad
43:05You can see daylight
43:06Great
43:12Looks like someone had a late night
43:15I've never been more happy to be wrong
43:17Me neither
43:20And what about you?
43:22Mm-hmm
43:23How's your love life?
43:24Ah, train wreck, same as always
43:26Wanna 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
43:54Whatever you decide
43:55I know
43:57Unfortunately, that makes things worse
43:59Not better
44:08Right, sir
44:10We've still got a case to solve
44:12So let's go through all the statements again
44:14Check for any discrepancy
44:16Double-check every word
44:17We must have missed something
44:19Margot
44:21Let's look at this off-grid community a bit closer
44:23Drill down into backgrounds
44:24Kelby
44:25Let's do a CCTV trawl
44:27The only people away from the Altium estate
44:30When the assault took place
44:31Was supposedly in 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
44:59I've got a present for you
45:03It's an eviction notice
45:05You've got seven days to get off my land
45:07Or bailiffs will come and drag you off
45:11Have a nice day
45:21Sorry, everyone
45:24This looks like a fight we can't win
45:26No
45:27We made our home here
45:28If they want us to leave
45:30They 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
45:45Let's just pack up
45:55Right, so I've double-checked all witness statements
45:58And whichever way you read them
45:59They all eliminate each other
46:00If Paul Outram is responsible in any way
46:03He must have had outside help
46:05Sorry
46:05I went through all the old planning applications
46:08And confirmed there was one submitted by Lee Outram
46:10For a glamping site which was later withdrawn
46:12Then a new application by Paul Outram put in
46:16So
46:16They were both happy to develop the site
46:19But one wanted to build
46:20And the other wanting something less intrusive
46:22Which is why they must have fallen out
46:24Right
46:24And the off-gridders?
46:26A couple of priors
46:27But nothing serious
46:28Right
46:29Sir
46:30I'm struggling a bit
46:31Marrying up the statements
46:32Between Paul Outram
46:34And the two people from camp
46:35How so?
46:37Right, so
46:38They're all in town
46:39Like they said
46:40But
46:40At different times
46:42And at different places
46:43Look
46:44I've got Paul Outram
46:46Coming out of Kitty J's
46:48Just after eight o'clock
46:49Like he said
46:49But then he goes straight into his car
46:51And drives off
46:53So
46:53How could he have seen anyone
46:55By the horrible office?
46:57Then
46:57I was searching
46:59For Alex and Woody
47:00The ones he said he saw
47:02And it took me ages
47:04But
47:04I found them
47:05They were nowhere near the pub
47:08They were on the other side of town
47:10Coming out of Jenny Robinson's garage
47:12And what time was that?
47:14Er
47:14Just before six
47:16They stopped off at the chippy
47:17Er
47:18And then
47:19Queued up for the 21 bus
47:21I thought they only eat what they grow
47:23Maybe they're missing life's little luxuries
47:26The number 21 would take them back up
47:28To the Outram Forum
47:29But why would Paul lie about seeing them?
47:32Kelby
47:33Can you call the garage?
47:34See what they can tell us?
47:35So
47:36So if they left town at 6pm
47:38I mean that means they don't have an alibi for the time of the assault
47:42Hello there Jenny
47:43But why would Paul Outram give them one?
47:46Er
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
47:51But how can that be true?
47:54It cannot
47:55And if it cannot
47:57It is not
47:59So the real question is
48:01Why would you give your adversary an alibi?
48:04No
48:04Which would allow them to refute an accusation that you yourself had made?
48:09And however you look at it
48:11There is only one possible answer
48:14That they are not adversaries at all
48:19Sir
48:19Jenny 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 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
49:01Was to help Paul get rid of the others as well
49:04So I think they came up with a plan
49:06To discredit the whole community
49:08Making it easier for Paul
49:10To get his eviction notice
49:15So when they got back from town
49:17Paul would have already told them where Evan was working
49:22Once Evan was unconscious
49:24They needed to make it look like it was done by the off-grid community
49:27By using paint from their workshop
49:29And using their motif of the green man
49:32Knowing full well that Paul would give them an alibi
49:41Then a day later
49:43Having 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
50:07When the moment came
50:09They would convince the others that they should just give up the fight and leave
50:12No
50:13It's over
50:14There will be other places
50:17Let's just pack up
50:24Leaving them free to eat fish and chips
50:27And buy a camper van
50:31So
50:32They were all in it together
50:33Except for Lee
50:35He couldn't have known about any of this
50:37Mind you
50:38Paul's lucky his dad didn't come back after the money when Katie died
50:42Lucky
50:44Or is it something else
50:45Like what
50:49Something's been niggling at me
51:19Mary
51:20Mary
51:22I've just arrested your brother.
51:26So he was behind it all?
51:28Yeah, with 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,
52:02even 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 here now.
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
53:58that 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, Sue.
54:32Like I said,
54:33it's what we do, isn't it?
54:36We look after the people we love.
54:42Yeah.
54:43Rinse and repeat again
54:46Maybe the world
54:49Will try to divide
54:52But they haven't heard
54:55Your soul is meant to cross mine
55:00I'll try to make this right
55:09It's a project, Sam.
55:10You came like the moon
55:13Sadden and softly
55:16Not a moment too soon
55:20But one step ahead of me
55:23And I was a fool
55:26Too blinded by starlight
55:30To know it was you
55:32Guiding me home every night
55:37I'll try to do love right
55:46Oh, I'm not always able
55:53I'm always reaching you
56:00Just hold on until the sunrise
56:07I swear I'm coming high
56:21I'm free
56:22Oh
56:23Hmm
56:24Taking it to the wire as usual, I see
56:28Still
56:28It 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?
56:54There's a fire! There's a fire!
56:56Where's Kelby?
56:57Still in sight!
56:58Kelby!
56:58Elias' map, it's gone.
57:00The search for riches makes people do terrible things.
57:02We'd want to steal from the festival.
57:05Now you don't need me no more.
57:06I'm not sure where that leaves me.
57:07Change can be difficult, but I'm here to help.
57:11He seems quite chipper under the circumstances.
57:14New starts all round. I'm trying to be more engaged.
57:17Amelia's idea?
57:18I can't work with that Mr. Smith.
57:20Should we tell him?
57:21This 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 BBC3.
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.
57:41Bye.
57:52You've got good news.
