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.
00:42I thought it was a scarecrow at first, and then I realised it wasn't.
00:49He wasn't moving.
00:55Do you think he's dead?
00:58Looks like the green man.
01:15One morning in the month of June, down by a rolling river, there he tried a chance to stray and
01:22he beheld his lover.
01:24Her cheeks were red, her eyes were brown, her hair and ringlets hanging down.
01:29She had a lovely face without a frown, just 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.
01:55Just getting hard to see, so I was thinking of packing up.
01:58Someone grabbed me from behind, put something over my face like an old rag.
02:03Do you recall what the rag smelled like?
02:04Chemicals, but sort of sweet.
02:07Chloroform?
02:07Hmm.
02:09I've got images from the scene and the road in both directions from the kissing gate.
02:14Alright, thanks Kelby.
02:15We also passed a speed camera about half a mile back.
02:19See if you can get anything from that.
02:20Okay, my bike's on the truck.
02:22I'll head back now.
02:23Thought I was a goner.
02:25Everything went weird.
02:27I 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 or the field?
02:42Er, hedgerow.
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, working for the outer mistake.
02:59Doing what?
03:00Groundsman.
03:01Putting up no trespassing sign.
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.
03:12It's acrylic.
03:14Oh, does that mean it'll wash off?
03:15Oh, yes, yes it does.
03:16Yeah.
03:16It's water-based.
03:17Yeah, which means it's also excellent for writing on fabric.
03:30Well, I hear it's 1991.
03:34Seems our freedom's dead and gone.
03:37Power of the rich is held by few.
03:41You keep the young ones paralyzed.
03:44Educated by your lies.
03:46Keep the old ones happy with the new.
03:50Tell her, sing her a night, sing a song.
03:53Tell the poet that she's wrong.
03:56In the courts you'll win the case with lies.
03:59Cause you sold them down the river.
04:08Don't care about the rich is held by few.
04:09I hope you've got court papers.
04:12Why would I need those?
04:13Because we're legally able to stay here.
04:16Unless you can show a court has ruled otherwise.
04:18I'm sure you are, and that's not why we're here.
04:21I'm D.R. Goodman, this is D.S. Williams.
04:23A man was assaulted, putting up signs, a couple of fields from here.
04:27And do you think we're responsible?
04:29We don't think anything yet.
04:31The manner of the assault was a little odd.
04:34He was drugged, and painted green, and covered in ivy.
04:42Looks like you're a green man here.
04:44The 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.
04:57Surnames?
04:58We don't have one.
05:00Everyone has a surname.
05:02Are 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 and 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.
05:17Do you make it yourselves?
05:18The children made it.
05:19In the workshop.
05:23May 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?
06:00You don't know?
06:01No, I don't.
06:03Paul Outram.
06:04And he owns the land?
06:06Some of it.
06:09He 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, he'll be behind it somehow.
06:20Are 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.
06:28You 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.
06:50Yes.
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
07:17near those off-gridders on the Outram estate.
07:19So, everyone rushed off.
07:21Oh, no.
07:22It'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.
07:39No points, sugarcoat and everything.
07:41Exactly.
07:41So, um, how would you describe me?
07:46Be as brutal as you like?
07:48Well, as you're asking, you're nice.
07:53Some might say too nice and you can be a bit picky.
07:57You fuss too much, too tidy, too conscientious, too understanding and overall just a bit too
08:05accommodating.
08:07Gosh, that must be really annoying, me being too much of everything.
08:13A little trick I learnt.
08:16Start every day by saying no to the first three things people ask of you.
08:21Stops everyone treating you like a dog's body.
08:25Works wonders.
08:26Yes.
08:27Yeah.
08:31I, um, checked the speed camera like you said.
08:35Hasn't been working since New Year's Eve.
08:37Right.
08:38Okay.
08:38So, the Outram Estate was left to brothers Paul and Lee Outram when their mother died four
08:44months ago.
08:45It comprises the main house and 29 acres.
08:48The field, adjacent to the B511 where the off-gridders are, has been granted outline planning
08:53permission.
08:54That permission is subject to the current dispute being resolved.
08:57Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:58What is that dispute exactly?
09:00Morning.
09:01Morning.
09:03The off-gridders are claiming adverse possession, formerly 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
09:19permission to use the land by the late Mrs. Outram, and therefore adverse possession law
09:23doesn'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?
09:31I don't really know Paul, the older one.
09:34He moved away just after he left college.
09:36Some big shot in London, last I heard.
09:39Young Lee stayed at home, though.
09:42Helped with the farm.
09:42He was a bit of a mummy's boy.
09:46The 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.
09:54And were you aware of the brothers having a difference of opinion over the family estate?
09:58I heard something.
09:59I think Lee lodged an official objection to the house build.
10:02Sounds like they've fallen out.
10:04Yes.
10:05I was going to see what they have to say.
10:07Kelby, go back up to the off-gridders, if you will.
10:10Let's take statements from everyone living there, ensuring they all account for their whereabouts
10:14at the time of the assault.
10:15Sure.
10:16Margot, we've got the lab doing a paint match for us.
10:20Chase that up, would you?
10:21And let's get background checks on the Outram family.
10:23Rightio.
10:24Well, let'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 60s.
10:40All free love and peace.
10:41Who knew?
10:43We weren't really the kind of family that sat around the fire telling each other stories.
10:47What 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 open strings.
10:58Did you not get on?
11:00We're different people, but he's still my brother.
11:02And 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 him 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.
11:25And I'm the main suspect, am I?
11:28Brilliant.
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.
11:36In my experience, it's pretty much the same for people.
11:39That doesn't answer the question.
11:41Remind me.
11:42Where were you last night, 7pm?
11:48I was at Kitty J's.
11:50Got 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.
12:05Just about to rummage through some bins, I assume.
12:07Woody 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.
12:24Listen out for the grinding of teeth or the wringing of hands.
12:38Okay, so, what time did the pan-pipe class finish?
12:42Nine sharp.
12:43So the pipers could join the stone ceremony, which was 9 to 10.30.
12:48The 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.
13:02Oh, no, I do.
13:03Oh, and maybe not the stone bit, but whether I do or don't, I think that everyone should
13:10believe in whatever they want, as long as it's not hurting anyone.
13:15I mean, speaking to stones is all right.
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.
13:39Okay, so everyone did both?
13:42Yeah.
13:43Except for Janice.
13:44She was worm charming.
13:46Got 39.
13:47Yeah.
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.
14:00Okay.
14:01And what time was that?
14:02Not sure, but I think we were back before 7.
14:05So 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.
14:14Oh, right.
14:14So you're happy for them to be on your lap?
14:17Better than turning it into a house and a state.
14:20Your mum invited them here, is that right?
14:22Just after her dad left, about 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 when your mum passed away?
14:34That's right.
14:36In equal shares?
14:37Yeah.
14:38Then, doesn't he need your agreement to do the building?
14:41Not anymore.
14:43Oh?
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, convinced me we needed a limited company to make it a proper business.
14:59I was a bit out of my depth, but he told me not to worry and that he'd said it
15:03all up.
15:04Out from Holdings?
15:05So when he said it up, he gave himself more voting shares?
15:09I was near as a shark.
15:11Just didn't think it applied to family.
15:13So 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.
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 there are nuisance so that he can evict them and send the
15:32bulldozers in.
15:33But won't you still get rich in the process?
15:36This was a working farm once.
15:39And it could be that again.
15:41That'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.
16:10Lee, can you tell us where you were last night?
16:12Between seven and eight.
16:13At home.
16:14On your own?
16:15Well, Paul went out to get something to eat, so, 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.
16:43The 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 once Mr. Smith sees what a good job the inspector does.
16:56I don't like the feeling I'm being watched all the time.
16:59It's better to be a bit of a mystery.
17:01Charlie, talking about mysteries, how'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.
17:15She's very real, thank you very much.
17:18Her flight lands at half past four.
17:24So, are 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.
17:36I'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.
17:44That 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, wouldn't you?
17:56Why, having this conversation again?
17:58I'm not being mean, I'm just trying to look out for you.
18:03You know what, Margot?
18:05You say potato, and I say tomato.
18:08Let's just leave it at that, shall we?
18:19I want the planning agent to have the full application,
18:21ready to go in tomorrow.
18:24Let me worry about that.
18:36Hi.
18:38Ah!
18:41Ham and English mustard, crisps and a muffin.
18:45You're amazing.
18:46Have you spoken to the builders?
18:48Er, I left them a message.
18:50I'll call this afternoon if I don't hear back.
18:52Oh, can you pick up my jacket on your way home?
18:54It's at the dry cleaners.
18:57No.
19:01Excuse 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, yes, 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.
19:18We have a guest for dinner.
19:19Who?
19:19Oh, it's a surprise.
19:21That's worrying.
19:21Oh, not at all.
19:22I'm doing a charcuterie board apathe,
19:25followed by beef wellington,
19:26with mixed berry pavlova and a caramel twist,
19:30if anyone's left standing.
19:32No, you have me at charcuterie.
19:34Monty, 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?
19:45Too busy.
19:46I 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.
20:10Right, good.
20:11So I'm serious.
20:12HR?
20:13Oh, no, it's just a, just a, just a thing.
20:16It's like an admin thing.
20:18It's not even a thing.
20:20Really, it's like a, like a query.
20:23There's nothing for you to worry about,
20:24or anyone else.
20:25It's just a thing.
20:27Okay?
20:28Perfectly fine.
20:29Do you want me to get Mr Smith now?
20:30No.
20:32Later, though, perhaps.
20:36Munch.
20:37Of course.
20:38Uh, sir, we've had the lab report back.
20:41The paint from the banner and that found on Evan Cole is a match.
20:45Yes, as expected.
20:46And everyone was at the camp at the time Mr Cole was assaulted,
20:51all except Woody and Alex, who apparently were in town getting fish.
20:56Yes, uh, that was corroborated by Paul Altrum, of all people.
21:00He said he saw them at the harbour office.
21:02And the rest of them all confirmed that they stayed together,
21:06uh, doing a stone ceremony, pan pipes and worm charming.
21:12Can't beat a bit of worm charming.
21:16Yes, 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.
21:30Bit of a drunk, too.
21:31Andy with his fists.
21:33I always thought he hit Katie, but she never admitted it.
21:37How charming.
21:38Mm-hmm.
21:38And after they split up?
21:40No one knows.
21:41He just stopped and left.
21:43Only Lee was at home then,
21:44so him and Katie ran the farm as best they could together.
21:48Right.
21:48Let's see if you can find out where he is now.
21:50I think we need to at least eliminate him.
21:53Right.
21:53So, groundsman Evan Cole was drugged and assaulted by person or persons unseen.
22:00Now, we know that the paint came from the camp,
22:03so 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.
22:12But whoever it was still had to be able to get the paint from the camp workshop.
22:16Excellent point, Kelby.
22:18Yes, and I can't imagine Paul Altrum could get into that camp without being noticed.
22:24But Lee Altrum could.
22:27Yes.
23:05Sergeant Williams.
23:08Hello.
23:09Do you have a moment?
23:11I'm working.
23:12I've been calling you.
23:13Sorry.
23:14Weird day.
23:16You came to the house the other night.
23:19Did 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, and I thought I'd left something at yours, but I didn't want to intrude.
23:30You wouldn't have been.
23:32So, what was it that you thought you'd left?
23:35Oh, er, 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.
23:46You know, if you want to talk.
23:48Yeah.
23:50Good.
23:52Oh, 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, because when you do, something bad
24:08always happens, it seems to have quite the reputation.
24:13Oh, fascinating fact.
24:15There are 72 pubs in the UK called the green man.
24:22I've read that on a beer man.
24:25I like that fact.
24:26Thanks, 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.
24:37They've had no contact from him either.
24:39So, 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, complained about mostly everything.
24:49Then left just after 8.
24:51Right.
24:51So, the only person who cannot account for this whereabouts is Lee Outram.
24:55You 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.
25:09Well, apparently so.
25:10And, 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.
25:17Or, 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.
25:29Ship now at police.
25:31Just 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?
26:36Well...
26:38I was hoping it would go away, if I'm honest.
26:41Well, that wasn't likely to happen, was it?
26:44The hub doesn't usually change its mind.
26:47No.
26:49Are you angry with me?
26:50Yes.
26:51For 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.
26:59But 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, you're our only uniformed officer.
27:19It'll have to be me then.
27:22Detectives are the only thing we have two of, after all.
27:24No, loathe as I am to say this, in case you use it against me at some point in the
27:28future.
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, um, 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.
28:07We all will.
28:09All for one.
28:10One for all.
28:17DS Williams.
28:20On our way.
28:23Out from the state.
28:41Is it safe to go in now and see everything, or what?
28:44Yeah, all okay.
28:44Go ahead.
28:45All right, thanks very much.
28:46All right.
28:46All right, just give me one minute.
28:48No problem.
28:49I want them all arrested.
28:51This is willful damage.
28:53When 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.
29:01Saw the smoke.
29:01You know this means I've got cause to evict them now.
29:04They've overstepped the mark and now they'll pay for it.
29:07Found this on the drive.
29:10They 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.
29:17I 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.
29:25They've assaulted my groundsman and now this.
29:27How long before they kill someone?
29:36You 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.
29:52Not really.
29:53I didn'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 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.
30:07Something you later rely on in court.
30:09Okay, come on.
30:10Janice.
30:11But he hasn't done anything.
30:15It's right, Liz.
30:22I've never been in trouble with the police before.
30:24Not even the odd demo or protest meeting?
30:27No, no, nothing.
30:29I 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.
30:52Seems 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.
31:06Yeah, Edmund.
31:07You do understand that what you've been accused of is really quite serious?
31:11Yeah.
31:12Yeah.
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.
31:25And we don't blame you for that.
31:26No one does.
31:27And sometimes when you fight against something, well, things can get out of hand.
31:33Yeah.
31:34Is that what happened, Edmund?
31:36Things just get out of hand.
31:39No.
31:40And what about the assault on the groundsman?
31:42Do 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?
32:01I 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.
32:08So, where does that leave us?
32:11Nowhere.
32:12Sir?
32:13Yes, Kelby?
32:15Would 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.
32:27Got a hot date?
32:28Sort of.
32:30In that case, off you go.
32:32Oh, thank you, sir.
32:34Never let it be said that I got in the way of a hot date.
32:38No, I...
32:41Er, what was all that about?
32:43Magnishka's supposed to be flying in today.
32:46Really?
32:47Well, he thinks she is.
32:50But she didn't want him to meet her at the airport.
32:53Oh.
32:54Well, 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.
33:03Okay.
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.
33:10There must be something we're missing.
33:12We've walked through it a thousand times
33:16The days of sorrow we've had our fill
33:20And by the light of a silvery moon
33:25Where we rode on home all singing still
33:30One more for this pose of life
33:32One more before you go
33:34Thinny glass and make it last one more before you go
33:38Come on
33:42Those who've journeyed far may find
33:46A shelter port in a stormy sea
33:50And a haven from the gills of life
33:54To bring their spirits all to ease
34:05Take a deep breath
34:06Why?
34:07Just do it
34:10Mum's surprise dinner guest is here
34:14It's a lot of rock through
34:16But it's all in that back swing
34:17Yeah
34:19Hi
34:22Hi
34:24Hi
34:39Hey
34:40Hey
34:41Hey
34:41Hi
34:42Hey
34:49I mean, what were you thinking?
34:51I'm on the police committee. He's a colleague.
34:54Yeah, but we told you what he's making Humphrey do.
34:56I know, darling, that'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.
35:19Uncom...er, no. Absolutely not.
35:23Why would it?
35:24No reason at all.
35:26After all, technically, they're both on the same side.
35:32I understand that Anne lost her husband.
35:35Some years ago.
35:37Er, yes.
35:38Yes, during the first wave of the pandemic.
35:41It was...
35:43It was very sad.
35:44Oh, heavens, yes.
35:46Terrible affair.
35:47Hmm.
35:49I'm surprised she hasn't been snapped up.
35:53Here we are.
35:56That looks amazing, Anne. Thank you.
36:01Right.
36:03Telephones, please.
36:06No, 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.
36:36Just 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 land has just
36:43quite literally gone up in smoke.
36:49Looks like the diggers can move in.
37:06I was passing.
37:09In the loo, is she?
37:11No.
37:12Well, I'll get you another drink.
37:24What are you doing here?
37:26I was passing.
37:27Me too.
37:30Well?
37:38Your son-in-law is very highly regarded at the hub.
37:42Very 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.
38:01Yes, it was an odd sight.
38:03And have you made any progress?
38:06It's early days, of course.
38:08But we think it must be connected to the land dispute going on there.
38:12Yeah, 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, apart from his.
38:30He refused, point 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.
38:47Lee 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 Margot instead.
39:09Yeah.
39:14Would you buy her?
39:17Fruit and nut.
39:18Our favourite chocolate.
39:20I love fruit and nut.
39:33Agnieszka.
39:34Kelby.
39:39I'm so sorry they dropped me.
39:42It's completely the wrong place.
39:43I was walking around trying to find you.
39:45I 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, but, uh, like some say, my toad in
40:04the hole has merit.
40:06Then I very much look forward to sampling it.
40:09Oh, wait.
40:10Let me get your phone.
40:11Oh.
40:13Um, good night, Mr. Smith.
40:16Martha.
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.
40:32What's that?
40:33Splendid.
40:36Here you are.
40:37Well, thank you for a marvellous evening.
40:45Bye.
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're always looking after him.
41:04I think because you're old, you're like marvellous.
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.
41:21Thank you for helping me.
41:23Some people would not have been so trusting.
41:27You're very welcome.
41:29So, are you hungry?
41:32We 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.
41:41I've set up my room for you.
41:42I'll be okay on the sofa.
41:44It's really comfy.
41:44Uh, but aren't you sleeping with me?
41:49Well, I...
41:51But I love cuddles so much.
41:59What will you do?
42:01I have no idea.
42:07Anyway, that is tomorrow's problem.
42:12How was your day?
42:14Okay.
42:16Yeah, sure.
42:18Hmm?
42:19You seemed a little, um...
42:23Truculent.
42:25Truculent?
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.
42:36It'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.
43:01Builders 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?
43:25Ah, 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.
43:53You know that we'll support you.
43:54Whatever you decide.
43:56I know.
43:57Unfortunately, that makes things worse.
43:59Not 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.
44:17Double-check every word.
44:18We must have missed something.
44:20Margot, let's look at this off-greek community a bit closer.
44:23Drill down into backgrounds.
44:24Kelby, let's do a CCTV trawl.
44:28The only people away from the Altrim Estate when the assault took place were 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.
44:57Good morning.
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 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.
45:28If 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.
45:38No.
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 and whichever way you read them, they all eliminate each other.
46:01If Paul Altrim 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 Altrim for a glamping
46:11site which was later withdrawn.
46:13Then a new application by Paul Altrim put in.
46:16So, they were both happy to develop the site, but one wanted to build and the other wanting something less
46:22intrusive, 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.
46:30Sir, I'm struggling a bit marrying up the statements between Paul Altrim and the two people from camp.
46:36How so?
46:37Right, so, they're all in town, like they said, but at different times and at different places.
46:45Look, I've got Paul Altrim 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?
46:56Yes. Then 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 Outroom Forum.
47:29But why would Paul lie about seeing them?
47:32Kelby, could you call the garage? See what they can tell us.
47:36So, if they left town at 6pm, I mean, that means they don't have an alibi for the time of
47:41the assault.
47:42Hello there, Jenny.
47:43But why would Paul Altrim give them one?
47:46Maybe he was mistaken?
47:47No, no, no, no, no.
47:49He didn't say he thought he saw them. He 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
48:07accusation 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.
48:18Wait, sir, Jenny remembers them going in.
48:22They were looking at a second-hand camper van.
48:25Yes!
48:28Missing life's little luxuries.
48:30I've got a one-time offer for you guys.
48:32We know Paul Altrim 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'd 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.
49:00So 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.
50:13It's over.
50:14There will be other places.
50:17Let's just pack up.
50:25Leaving them free to eat fish and chips,
50:28and buy a camper van.
50:31So, they were all in it together?
50:34Except for Lee.
50:35He couldn't have known about any of this.
50:38Mind you,
50:39Paul'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.
50:55Get out of here!
50:57Get out of here!
51:27So he was behind it all?
51:57Which, when you add it to the fact that you've done everything in your power to stop this land being
52:02built on, even going against your own brother, leaves me questioning why.
52:09I mean, you were happy enough for it to be used as a glamping site, even for the off-grid
52:14community to live here.
52:19Anything but building.
52:22So then I thought, what if it's not the building you're worried about?
52:27It's the digging.
52:28What if it's not the building?
53:00Mum.
53:05Begging him to stop.
53:10And then he went quiet.
53:16When my eyes started to focus again, I could just see her sitting on the floor next to him.
53:26She killed him.
53:31And we knew if we told anyone or called the police that our lives would be over, so...
53:38So we buried him.
53:40In the field?
53:45Yeah.
53:47I know it was wrong.
53:48And I should be sorry.
53:52But I'm not.
53:54I 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.
54:06Really 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 and 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, it's what we do, isn't it?
54:36We look after the people we love.
54:43Yeah.
54:43Rinse and repeat again.
54:47Maybe the world will try to divide us, but they haven't heard.
54:56Your star was meant to cross mine.
55:01I'll try to make things right.
55:09It's a project.
55:10Yeah.
55:11You came like the moon.
55:14You came like the moon.
55:14You came like the moon.
55:15Sat in and softly.
55:17Not a moment too soon.
55:20But one step ahead of me and I was a fool.
55:27Too blinded by Scarlet to know it was you.
55:32Guiding me home every night.
55:36Guiding me home every night.
55:38I'll try to do love right.
55:48Oh, I'm not always able.
55:53I'm always enjoying it.
56:00Just hold on until the sun rise.
56:07I swear I'm coming home.
56:11I swear I'm coming home every night.
56:13You will be happy as I'm coming home every night.
56:18Can I remember?
56:22Humphrey.
56:23Oh.
56:24Hmm.
56:25Taking it to the wire as usual, I see.
56:28Still, it 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's 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.
57:03We'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.
57:14News 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?
57:21This can't really be it.
57:27How about swapping Shipton Abbott for Tropical Saint-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.
57:52You
