00:09That's Shaq stealing all our business.
00:12No wonder people prefer Scott Shaq.
00:15He understands the value of my catch.
00:18Good fish, proper fish, Welsh fish.
00:20I know.
00:21I'd happily go back to fish and chips, but...
00:25I hope everything was to your satisfaction.
00:27No.
00:28The food was flavourless.
00:29The gap between the idea and execution
00:32is exactly what you'd expect from an adult wearing Crocs.
00:36These are pro-kitchenware.
00:38Standard issue in the Rue Brothers' kitchen.
00:40Anyway, my food was designed for people with a palate.
00:46This is why we're dead, Joe.
00:48We need to go back to old-fashioned pub grub.
00:51Would you tell Leonardo da Vinci,
00:52don't bother doing the Mona Lisa, just stick to crayons.
00:55Yeah, if he was crap at painting, yeah.
00:57I am re-educating people's taste.
00:59Not pandering to the TikTokers.
01:01We'll outlast our flash in the pan out there.
01:13Technically, I was right.
01:17Too soon.
01:18She's saying.
01:36I was going to do as a barbecue tonight.
01:39Gone right off the idea now.
01:40It takes more than this to bum me off a burger.
01:43Right.
01:44Cause of death, probably smoke inhalation.
01:47Some areas of the body are burned,
01:49but the site's so dirty, we all know more until he's on the slab.
01:51So when the fire started, why didn't he just leave?
01:53Hmm.
01:55Two scambi and chips, please, love.
01:58That wasn't appropriate.
02:00What have we got?
02:02Victim was Scott Winstanley, seafood chef.
02:06Opened the shack here about six months ago.
02:08Bit of a star on social media.
02:10I knew I recognised this place.
02:11It keeps popping up on my Instagram.
02:13You're on Insta?
02:14Yeah.
02:15I'll follow you if you like.
02:16Or not.
02:17Boundaries.
02:18Any idea how it started?
02:20Fire investigation team are on their way.
02:22Fire was discovered by local fisherman Gareth Merwin just after 2am.
02:26Got chowdry interviewing the locals.
02:28Ooh.
02:30What's wrong with you?
02:31Seagulls, ma'am.
02:32I hate them.
02:33Got attacked in Temby last year.
02:35Took my churros right out to my hand.
02:37Ooh, watch out.
02:37There's one behind you.
02:39Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:40Not funny, ma'am.
02:41I've asked around about Winstanley.
02:43Apparently he grew up in Cornwall in a place called Porth Curnow.
02:46A bit of a surfer type, but then fell into drug addiction before teaching himself to cook.
02:50There we are then.
02:51Ex-junkie, relapses, leaves a hob on.
02:54Nice and easy, Malawin.
02:55Good job too, because you got that big Zoom after.
02:58Right.
02:59Wait, what?
03:00Health and safety thing.
03:01Sandra put it in your diary.
03:03Oh, Sandra.
03:04Right, don't worry, sir.
03:06On it.
03:07See if you can dig up any CCTV and keep taking statements from the locals.
03:11I'm off to consult our consultant.
03:12John Chappell?
03:14How is he?
03:14Er, he's complicated.
03:19I'm sure we can resolve this, funny.
03:22You told me you wouldn't be in.
03:23Yeah, I needed to see you.
03:26I'm not sleeping properly.
03:29Alan's of his food.
03:31We both are.
03:33You see, he can always intuit my inner pain.
03:39Oh, John, love.
03:42It's over.
03:54Mum, pity no, ma.
03:56Oh, hiya, love.
03:57Just bringing John's stuff back.
03:58Oh, sad jazz.
04:01We're coming to drama queen.
04:03Oh, my dad, have you paid for stuff tea, van hen, have you?
04:06Yes.
04:07I'm only stuff for guide.
04:09Yeah.
04:09Well, I am turning your room into a home gym.
04:13My dad, have you paid a ton?
04:16Well, it's not as if you're going to be moving back in, is it?
04:20Oh, imagine that.
04:23Detective Inspector's still living with her mother.
04:26It's okay, ma'am.
04:27Oh, sorry.
04:30Oh, I'm a really detective, lovey.
04:34Right.
04:35Ta-da.
04:36Ta-da.
04:45An intimate connection, a union of two souls
04:49reduced to the contents of a distress I care about.
04:53Good to see you're over the breakup, then.
04:55Well.
04:56Ooh.
04:58Sensual massage oil.
04:59Ooh.
05:01You've come to kick me while I'm down, have you?
05:03No, I've come to cheer you up.
05:05Someone's dead.
05:06Oh, lucky for them.
05:08At least I don't have the feel anymore.
05:10Oh, don't be all amos, John Chappell.
05:12I need your help.
05:13Hipster food chef opens trendy seafood shack
05:16in Old Fishing Village.
05:17Last night, the place burns down with him inside.
05:20Well, so you thought you'd come and use me?
05:22Is that a trait in all the Malawan women, is it?
05:24Or is there just a sign on my forehead that says,
05:26loser, please abuse?
05:29Joe and Karen, half-brother and sister
05:32that run the local pub, they're Dodge.
05:34Neither of them heard the fire last night,
05:36even though it was on their doorstep.
05:38Also, it was put out by local fisherman Gareth Merwin,
05:42who was just hanging round at 2am.
05:44I've got to admit, it's interesting, Chappell.
05:48No, well, I have to be here.
05:50Alan has already been abandoned once.
05:53He's feeling it all again through this.
05:55He's completely distraught.
05:58Yeah, yeah, he's in a terrible state.
06:01Well, maybe all this moping about's made you lose your edge anyway.
06:04Oh, please, spare me the amateur reverse psychology.
06:08All right, then, I'll be off.
06:11Oh, I'll do the file.
06:17Yeah.
06:22Yeah, I agree.
06:26Yeah.
06:27Mmm.
06:29Mmm.
06:30You looking at lunch?
06:32No, just on the socials for Scott Winstanley's food shack.
06:36No hint as to why he'd relapsed.
06:38So far, all I've found is that his food was crap that day.
06:43Sorry the scran wasn't hashtag bangtastic today.
06:48Going to find a new supplier with super fresh vibes.
06:52Obviously, sad he's gone, but if someone has to die...
06:55What's with the box, sir?
06:57Old case reviews.
06:58You need to sign off.
06:59Turns out, D.I. Coffee had them in his boot for six months.
07:02Typical.
07:03Yeah.
07:03Great to have a fresh pair of hands to sort these out.
07:05Yeah, these might have to wait.
07:07I was going to head down to Arbatonai and do a bit of digging into the locals.
07:11Why?
07:11I just don't think he relapsed, sir.
07:13There was no drugs found at the scene.
07:15His feed is all health and clean living.
07:17Shall I tell you what my chief super used to say to me?
07:20You don't clean the windows if you're going to knock the house down.
07:24Mum?
07:25Thought you'd want to hear this.
07:26I've looked into the food shack.
07:28Local council received a string of complaints from the owners of the ship, pub and guest house
07:31trying to get it shut down.
07:33Maybe Karen and Joe just wanted him out the way enough.
07:36They burnt it down.
07:37We don't even know it was arson.
07:39No, we do.
07:39Just heard back from the fire investigation team.
07:41There was evidence of an accelerant.
07:43Oh.
07:44Oh.
07:45Good hunch, Malawa.
07:47Look at you.
07:48Detective Inspector.
07:50Smashing it.
07:50Buffy!
07:51Uh, Mum.
07:52Oh, sorry.
07:54No.
07:54Sorry, I-I'm listening.
07:56It's not right, Mum.
07:58A seaside pub not selling fish.
08:02Kitchen's Joe's domain.
08:04Shame.
08:05Yeah.
08:06See you later, Gareth.
08:12D.A. Milawan, Mid Wales Police.
08:14Urgh.
08:15The smell.
08:16Yeah, he spends his day gutting fish.
08:17You have to sort of, er, breathe through your mouth when you speak to Gareth.
08:21Right, erm, can I have a word with you and your brother?
08:23God, it's like the smell is still in my eyes.
08:25I'll grab him in just one sec.
08:26Let me just bring this coffee over to our new guest.
08:28Is that an extra hot latte macchiato?
08:31Yeah.
08:32I had to Google it.
08:33You'll never guess who we've got staying.
08:36I think I might.
08:38Erm, you go and get your brother and I'll take that over.
08:42Er, OK.
08:43If you're sure.
08:44Oh.
08:49One extra hot ponciccino?
08:52Well, I thought you weren't interested in the case.
08:55I'm not.
08:57I wanted to be near the sea.
08:59I find it a source of great solace in times of despair.
09:02What happened to Alan Needs Me?
09:06Scratch me.
09:08Rather viciously, in fact.
09:10Must be something in the air telling people to reject John Chappell.
09:14Can I look, er, what even is that?
09:17A blackberry-infused duck liver with a pen smear.
09:21Yeah, I know, inedible.
09:24So, have you come to torpedo my solitude
09:27or are you following up on a new lead?
09:29Bit of both.
09:30The pub tried to have the food shack shut down with the council.
09:34I told you, I am not here to investigate.
09:37I've come to commune with the sea.
09:39I'm very fortunate, actually.
09:40The best sea view room has recently become available.
09:43It's got a lovely...
09:46Very interesting, sir.
09:48Possibly.
09:51Brilliant.
09:51Great chat.
09:55I called the council.
09:56You what?
09:57I had to try something.
09:58He was running us out of business.
09:59Your bad cooking is what's running us out of business.
10:01People will come round.
10:03What part of fine dining don't you understand?
10:04Did you know Raymond Blanc here blew 300 quid on a thermometer?
10:08It's a smart probe.
10:10It messages my watch when the meet is done.
10:12Oh, great.
10:12Now, your watch can tell you no one's ordering.
10:14At least I got ideas.
10:15I don't spend my days behind the bar knocking back Cabernet Sauvignon and reading Jilly Cooper rubbish.
10:19You badmouth Jilly Cooper and I'll knock you on your arse.
10:21I think we're getting off topic here, guys.
10:23Look.
10:24A celebrity guest.
10:25My food's attracted here.
10:26Sorry to interject.
10:28I hate to be rude.
10:30There was somebody supposed to be in my room who moved.
10:35Is it Tina?
10:36Yeah.
10:36Marty-arse eco-warrior.
10:38Yeah.
10:38She has to move to room three.
10:40Don't know why.
10:41Your room's much nicer.
10:44Damn it.
10:45My probe's overheating.
10:46It sounds painful.
10:48Hey.
10:50Hiya, Karen.
10:50Two more, please.
10:51What was all that?
10:52That was me.
10:54I'm locking a fresh lead in this case.
10:58The room I'm in is easily the best in the guest house.
11:02Uninterrupted sea view.
11:03The only one with a bath.
11:05And yet Tina insisted on moving to the box room around the corner.
11:10Why?
11:10Going by your face, you already know.
11:12So do you just want to get to the point?
11:14Room three.
11:16Directly overlooks Scott's shack.
11:18The perfect place to observe him.
11:20If you have an unhealthy interest.
11:22We should talk to her.
11:24If anyone saw anything on the night, it's most likely to be her.
11:27Remarkable, isn't it?
11:28Even when I'm not trying to investigate,
11:30I cannot help but unlock a mystery in this case.
11:34That's a big old smug smile for someone who's apparently heartbroken.
11:38You're loving this.
11:39No.
11:40Merely trying my stomach best to distract the heart from its inner turmoil.
11:45Yeah.
11:48Where can I find this, Tina?
11:50Er, she usually hangs around Pendry Bay.
11:53Well, she would do when she wasn't following Scott around like a puppy.
12:03I don't know what her, she is.
12:06A beautiful place.
12:08Yeah.
12:09Yeah, my dad used to bring me here when I was a kid.
12:12Oh?
12:14I don't want to blow my cover at the pub, all right?
12:16So I'll get her talking, and you come over once I've warmed her up, all right?
12:20Yeah.
12:25Oh, majestic view.
12:28You look like the actor, the Caesar guy.
12:32No offence.
12:33No offence?
12:35Um, I was just saying.
12:38Majestic view.
12:40The ocean.
12:41How much she knows.
12:43The depth...
12:44Are you going to keep talking?
12:45It's incredibly annoying.
12:47So, um, your accent's not from around here.
12:51Um, where are you from?
12:52Not that it's any of your business, but Kent.
12:55I'm here studying the seals.
12:57I'm an ecologist.
12:58Don't they have seals in Kent?
13:00Yeah, of course they do, but Abiton Eye's special.
13:03It's a new breeding colony.
13:05OK, bye.
13:08Excuse me, Tina?
13:10DI Malawin, Mid Wales Police.
13:12No, thank you.
13:13No, what? No, I'm the police.
13:15You have to speak to me.
13:16It's kind of a thing.
13:17Ah, fine.
13:19What?
13:21I'm looking into the death of Scott Winstanley.
13:23We now know someone deliberately set fire to his food truck.
13:26Well, I would have thought that was obvious.
13:28Er, you were seen following Scott around,
13:31taking a keen interest in him.
13:33And?
13:34Really none of your business.
13:36Really is.
13:38Police, you...
13:39Feel like I'm at the till and something's not scanning.
13:42Fine.
13:43I took an interest in Scott because he talked a lot about sustainability.
13:47Now, can we just get to the point?
13:48You want to know whether I torched his shack?
13:50I didn't.
13:50Well, how do I know...
13:51Don't interrupt me.
13:52I'm an ecologist.
13:53The idea that I would commit arson...
13:56It's like, think of the emissions.
13:58Now, if I were investigating it,
13:59and I would be doing a better job than this,
14:00I'd be looking into Gareth Merwin.
14:02The local fisherman? Why?
14:04Scott got rid of Gareth as his supplier the day he died.
14:08Wake up.
14:09It's a bit fishy.
14:10So that's supposed to be a joke?
14:12Oh, I don't do jokes.
14:14Now, thank you for your time.
14:15That'll be all.
14:19Rude.
14:19Yeah, she reminds me of Scylla.
14:23Black?
14:24No, the man-eating sea monster Scylla Black.
14:28You'd expect the police to have some passing knowledge of Greek mythology, honestly.
14:34It's annoying.
14:35Tina's right.
14:36I should have spotted that about the supplier.
14:39Did you buy her story?
14:40Well, she's definitely lying about something.
14:42She ain't from Kent.
14:43How do you know that?
14:45Well, erotic horrors.
14:47West country.
14:48Far south-west, I'd say.
14:49I know the accent intimately.
14:52I was a seer as regular in the original polar.
14:54Yes.
14:55My first job, actually.
14:57I made a bit of a splash with my young and roguish Tristan Penver.
15:00Yes, anyway.
15:01Same plan as before.
15:03Right, I'll get him talking.
15:04Warm him up.
15:05Warm him up like you did Tina?
15:07Well, that should be different.
15:08I mean, he'll talk to me one-to-one as a fellow man of the sea.
15:11Exactly how are you a man of the sea?
15:14I own a boat.
15:15A narrowboat that you keep parked in Staines on Thames.
15:18The correct nautical term, you landlubber, is moor.
15:22Anyway, water is water.
15:24If the wind kicks out...
15:25Anyway, we haven't got time for this.
15:27All right?
15:28Oh, what a beauty, eh?
15:32God.
15:32Oh, wooden jaffin pieces all the way round the hole.
15:37Which is a drawer, if I may ask?
15:39About four foot, four foot six?
15:41You're that John Chappell, aren't you?
15:43You know your boats, mate?
15:45Well, what can I say?
15:46Fellow man of the sea, you know?
15:49May I?
15:50Come on, oh.
15:52Thank you very much.
15:53Oh, God.
15:55I mean, she's seen some action, this one, hasn't she?
15:57No, she's been in the family 50 years, every bit of it.
16:00Even the kit and tools go back generations.
16:04Ahoy, me hearties!
16:07Sorry, I don't know why I did that.
16:09D.I. Janie Mlauer and Trierbach CID.
16:12May I come aboard?
16:15Woman on a working boat's bad luck?
16:17Yeah.
16:18Murder investigation trumps fisherman Juju.
16:22John Chappell.
16:23You're a fisherman now.
16:25I dread that you'd fallen on hard times.
16:28I suppose you're here about Scott.
16:31You discovered the fire last night?
16:33What were you doing up so late?
16:34Same reason I'm always up at that hour.
16:37Same as my father and his father before that.
16:39Weak bladder.
16:41It's when we fish.
16:43No nine-to-five job, you know, this life on the sea.
16:50Scott sacked you as his supplier yesterday.
16:53Why was that?
16:57He wasn't happy with the cod I sold him.
16:59Cod's not the best this time of year.
17:01I can't go out deep sea like the bigger boats.
17:04It's not worth the fuel.
17:05You know what it used to be, this business, you know.
17:08All right, Captain Birdseye.
17:10You must have been angry.
17:12Big customer and all that.
17:15Ah, I'm a Merwin.
17:17I'll survive.
17:18I'll have to.
17:20Seems people care more about seals than they do fishermen.
17:24Yeah, well, they are cuter, in all fairness, sir.
17:29Right, well, I better get going.
17:31It's, er, Mr. Chalty, you're concerned.
17:33No, we don't have to do that.
17:34Oh, it's happening.
17:36Yeah, you, okay.
17:37Tac, tac, tac, tac, tac.
17:44Charles Caesar does not like being lied.
17:50Come again, please.
17:53Do you think we could get that switched off?
17:56It's a bit embarrassing.
17:57You've put my face up there.
17:58It's really my finest work.
18:00I think you're bloody good.
18:02So are you.
18:03I think you look handsome.
18:07That's the first time I've seen you crack a smile.
18:10Or maybe I've been feeling a bit sorry for myself.
18:14Furs of the heart, yeah?
18:16Yeah, I know what you mean.
18:19Oh, your husband.
18:21Oh, yeah.
18:23Sorry for your loss.
18:25The town line on your ring finger?
18:27You've recently taken your wedding band off
18:29and you keep the photo up there, so it's not divorce.
18:33He's not dead.
18:34He's in Malta.
18:36He's coming home next month.
18:37I'll just clean the urinals.
18:39Oh.
18:41Any food orders?
18:43Nope.
18:44No-one is gagging for a fennel souffle.
18:47Mr Chabble?
18:48I don't want a juice cleanse.
18:50Sorry.
18:55Why did I let him do it?
18:57Well, Dad, he left it to us 50-50.
19:01Well, he's 50.
19:03No offence.
19:04He's dying on his arse.
19:05The thing with Joe is, if you try and make him do something,
19:08he just doubles down,
19:09so you've just got to let him cock it up
19:12and learn the lesson.
19:13Well, can't you overrule his menu?
19:16He'll come round soon.
19:17We're not completely in the red yet, so...
19:20Do you still want me to turn that off?
19:22Oh, please, yeah.
19:25Well, here's a good one.
19:27Yeah.
19:27Leave it on if you like.
19:29A couple of minutes.
19:30All right.
19:40Baxter!
19:41Janie, you on your way to mine?
19:43Not yet.
19:44Good.
19:45Don't.
19:45I've pulled.
19:47Pulled?
19:47I thought you had...
19:49Jiu-jitsu?
19:51Yeah, got spicy.
19:52You're OK to stay at your mam's, aren't you?
19:56Uh...
19:56Yeah.
19:58Yeah.
20:00Cheers, mate.
20:01Cheers.
20:04Three generations of my family in that photo.
20:08There used to be ten boats out of Abiton.
20:10I had ten.
20:11And every one came home with a hull full of fish.
20:14Hence the depleted fish stocks.
20:16At least now the local ecosystem can find some kind of equilibrium.
20:20What about my ecosystem?
20:23I can barely afford to put food on the table.
20:26I don't get Gareth.
20:28You're the last fisherman in the village.
20:30You know, Scott still dropped you as his supplier.
20:33It seems a bit rash.
20:35Well, you know, that's the world these days.
20:39You know, everything's disposable.
20:41You know, if I was a dolphin, there'd be some do-gooders raising money.
20:45But I'm not.
20:46I'm Gareth Merwin.
20:48The last of my kind.
20:51You fish yourself, John.
20:52Phone for you, John.
20:55Excuse me.
20:56What?
21:01It's fine.
21:03Not really.
21:04I was just saving you from Gareth.
21:06Oh.
21:06I can't stand his endless fishing talk.
21:09It does seem to have a one-track mind.
21:11Yeah.
21:11That's why I like having you around.
21:13Someone interesting.
21:14Add a bit of sparkle to the place.
21:18What about the charming Tina?
21:20Is she not sparkle?
21:22No, she's a weird one.
21:23She's been here for a whole week and she hasn't let me clean her room.
21:26Maybe she's less weird around her seals?
21:30The seals?
21:33Well, of course, of course, it's a chapel, yeah.
21:35Are you OK?
21:37Well, yeah, but, you know, off there.
21:39Yeah, I think I might head up.
21:42Oh, that's a shame.
21:43I, well, I thought you might join me for a nightcap.
21:46See where the evening takes us.
21:52Better not, no, no, no, early start and all that.
21:59Another time.
22:02Mm.
22:05Right.
22:27Smash, isn't it?
22:30She did not come on to you.
22:32Gave me a bit of a jolt, too.
22:34Is it so surprising, though?
22:36Mm?
22:37The romance novels.
22:38Bored.
22:40Charismatic stranger drifts into poor...
22:41Is that you, is it?
22:43Dangerous liaison.
22:44I've experienced it before, you know.
22:46People hypnotised by celebrity.
22:48You?
22:49Dangerous?
22:50You're hiding here because your cat scratched you.
22:52Anyway, I thought you were supposed to be heartbroken.
22:55One barmaid chats you up and you're like a kid at Christmas.
22:58I am heartbroken.
23:00Very much so.
23:02Sorry I'm not sobbing constantly
23:03and flagellating myself around the clock.
23:08Tina has to be our prime suspect.
23:11Why?
23:12Because you think she's putting on an accent?
23:13No.
23:14She lied to us about more than just where she's from.
23:17Spotted something last night.
23:22This photograph here was taken in Abitonai 30 years ago.
23:29What am I looking at here?
23:31Apart from this man's amazing mullet.
23:34I don't know the sign here.
23:35Look.
23:36Beware.
23:37Seals breeding.
23:38There's been a colony here for years.
23:40Yet Tina said it was new.
23:43Why is she really here?
23:45She won't let anyone in her room.
23:47Not even to clean it.
23:47Nothing.
23:48So what's she hiding up there?
23:50Well I can't get a search warrant based on a seal photo and a hunch from Poldax and nothing doing.
23:55Did you manage to dig up anything else?
23:56Yes.
23:57There was something.
23:58Karen.
23:59The barmaid that definitely fancies you.
24:01No, no, her nails are a bit shonky.
24:05She's well turned out.
24:08Appearances are important to her.
24:10Yet, she takes terrible care of them.
24:15Why, Chapel?
24:16Because you've gone mad, Chapel.
24:18No, the person we should be focusing on is Gareth.
24:21Rubbish.
24:22If he bumped off everybody he stopped buying his fish, he'd have caught half the village by now.
24:29Chowdhury?
24:31Morning, ma'am.
24:32You didn't sleep here last night, did you?
24:34Sleep there?
24:35Don't be mad, Chowdhury.
24:38You big madhead.
24:40Why are you calling?
24:41We've had a witness come forward in the Abertony case.
24:44Said they saw Scott Winstanley in a massive argument the day he was killed.
24:48Who with?
24:52You told him to leave town or I'll make you leave.
24:56I had enough.
24:57He was killing the business.
24:58My husband's coming home soon and I didn't want us to be homeless.
25:02But Scott wouldn't leave.
25:04So you killed him.
25:06No.
25:07I did what I always do when I have a big row with someone.
25:10I had a large glass of red and I bitched about him on Facebook.
25:14OK, well, we're not done here.
25:18I mean, we are done, but we are not done-done.
25:26It's sick.
25:31Bye, John.
25:35Bye.
25:41Did you see that, did you?
25:42Bye, John.
25:44She was just saying bye.
25:46Are you incapable of reading nuance?
25:48That was more than just a bye.
25:50I've got to go.
25:51That's Baxter with a PM report.
25:53You stay here and try to avoid Karen having full-blown sex with you.
25:57Ha-ha.
25:58Gareth!
26:01Were you out in that last night?
26:02I saw the forecast.
26:03Strong winds, rough seas, rain later, north-east Lundy.
26:07Ah, it's all in the night's work, isn't it?
26:09Indeed.
26:10Calm seas do not a good sailor make unopened experience.
26:14You've been caught out at sea in a storm, have you, John?
26:17Well, four, six, seven, gusting to eight, just outside Windsor.
26:21Tried to battle through, but had to take shelter in a nearby Cote Brasserie.
26:24Yeah.
26:27All right.
26:28All right.
26:39You all right, I suppose, Scott?
26:40He didn't relapse.
26:41There were no drink or drugs in his system.
26:43Hmm.
26:44So how come he couldn't escape the fire?
26:45Oh, I can answer that.
26:47Hard to see at the scene, whatever the state he was in.
26:50But he'd had a heavy blow to the back of the head.
26:53Enough to kill him?
26:54No.
26:55Cause of death is smoke inhalation.
26:57He was alive when the fire started.
26:59But out cold?
27:00Hmm.
27:01Anything on what he was hit with?
27:02Something big and heavy.
27:04Oh, one other interesting thing.
27:07Forensics turns up a footprint from the shack.
27:10Looks like a croc.
27:13Calm this way.
27:14It's lunch.
27:14We're really busy.
27:15If you're gonna lie, make it believable.
27:17Got a new order for you.
27:19Your footprint was found at the Decapod.
27:23What are you doing here?
27:24Just come to see where the culinary magic happens.
27:27Don't worry about him.
27:29Were you in the Decapod the day Scott was killed?
27:34All right, fine.
27:35I went to see him.
27:36But I wanted out.
27:38I went to make Scott an offer to take over the kitchen here.
27:40He said no.
27:43Sounds like your meat's ready.
27:44No.
27:46What happened and people will come round?
27:49Well, they clearly haven't.
27:50I went to see Scott because people knew him.
27:52You know?
27:53People liked him.
27:54Because he was...
27:55He was just better than me.
27:58You said you slept through the fire that night Scott died.
28:02Only I'm looking at your heart rate monitor here.
28:04says at 2am your heart rate went from 58 to 84.
28:11You were awake.
28:15Okay.
28:16I woke up.
28:17I saw the fire.
28:18But look, I didn't know there was someone inside.
28:21You were just happy to watch it burn, were you?
28:22I figured if his business was gone,
28:24he'd be more likely to accept my offer.
28:26I was so desperate to make this work.
28:28I...
28:31He died because of me.
28:41Oh, Joe.
28:44Ego's a terrible thing, mate.
28:48Do you want to know something I've learned in my game?
28:51If you have a resistant audience,
28:55just give them what they want.
29:04Karen, you might want to talk to him.
29:07He's in a bit of a state.
29:10I think he's probably ready to change the menu about now.
29:13Oh, great.
29:15About the menu, not him being an estate.
29:18It's me.
29:19Thanks, John.
29:25Right, you stay here.
29:26Cover me.
29:28Cover you?
29:29You're not the rock.
29:30What are you doing?
29:31Searching Tina's room.
29:34See what she's really up to in there.
29:38Wait, what?
29:41No, we haven't got a warrant.
29:43I can't be a part of this.
29:44Suit yourself.
29:45Look up.
29:47What's going on?
29:49Fastidiously tidy.
29:50Sign of an ordered mind.
29:55Except one of the pictures has been taken down.
29:59Has she hung something else on?
30:00This isn't an art gallery.
30:02Hurry up.
30:02Think, chap.
30:03Think.
30:06Aha.
30:08Aha.
30:12I said, aha.
30:18Aha.
30:22You're a scientist, Tina.
30:23You work in theories.
30:25I'd like to put a theory to you.
30:27Well, be quick.
30:29Do you think you're going to be a good boy?
30:32No.
30:33I've got a good boy.
30:35I've got a good boy.
30:35I've got a good boy.
30:38We've looked into your background.
30:40You're not from Kent.
30:41You're from Porthcurno in Cornwall.
30:46Fifteen years ago, your brother, Danny, drowned while swimming off a beach there.
30:52Your parents blamed the lifeguard.
30:54Said he was high while on duty.
30:56The lifeguard was Scott Torrance.
30:59He might have changed his name, but that is Scott Winstanley.
31:06Yeah.
31:07You came here to get revenge on the man you held responsible for your brother's death.
31:15Well, obviously.
31:17It's not that obvious, actually.
31:19I took a lot of police work, so...
31:20Yes.
31:21I came here to find him and kill him.
31:22Yeah.
31:22Don't interrupt me.
31:24I found Scott, spoke to him, but he turned his life around.
31:27Panished himself for his mistakes.
31:29So you just left him alone?
31:32Yeah.
31:34Scientifically speaking, what else could I do?
31:36I came here to fix a problem.
31:38The problem no longer existed.
31:39So I left it.
31:41And you used seal watching as a cover.
31:44What a waste of a question.
31:47Have you even prepared for this?
31:49Yeah.
31:49The question you should be asking me is, can I prove that I spoke to Scott about this?
31:53And the answer is yes.
31:54I recorded our conversations.
31:56Yeah, I was going to ask that, actually, so...
31:58No, the real question to me is, why are you so badly prepared?
32:03No comment.
32:04And I'll tell you why.
32:06You're stretched thin.
32:08You're struggling.
32:10And it's bleeding into your work, babe.
32:13Shut up!
32:15If you and Scott had made up, then why were you still in Abbotoli?
32:19I really like the community.
32:20I feel like everyone here is really warmed to me.
32:23I don't think they have.
32:24The whole village just makes me feel chilled.
32:27Now, if that's everything, interview terminated.
32:30I do the interview terminated at, lady.
32:35Interview terminated at 2.48.
32:39Was dyna be my fel and chilled?
32:41Be yfach ma di fel fel arfer?
32:43I suppose it's a phim damas.
32:47I prefer the star of India, but my mate, he's very persuasive and you think he'll probably go...
32:51Ooh, my lawan.
32:52Glad I caught you.
32:53How's the case going?
32:54Very, very, very good.
32:56And that box of case reviews?
32:58All in hand, sir.
32:59Of course it is.
33:00Amazing.
33:00I'll be working for you one day.
33:02Yeah.
33:02I won't, because I'm retiring as soon as I can, but you know what I mean.
33:05Yeah, sir, say if someone hypothetically was struggling with the increased workload, what would your advice be?
33:12I always tackle the working day like, well, like I eat a curry.
33:17Kick off with the pompadoms, of course.
33:19And then you alternate.
33:21Rice, main, naan, main.
33:23Rice, main, naan, bit of chutney, main.
33:27Before you know it, you're finishing off the pompadoms, ordering another cobra.
33:31Make sense?
33:32Perfect sense.
33:33You wouldn't be on your way for a curry, would you, sir?
33:36Ah, good work, detective.
33:37Ooh, I got something else for you.
33:39There's a van on Port Arran Harbour.
33:41No tax, no MOT.
33:42Untaxed cars?
33:43Why are you giving me that, sir?
33:44Why, why?
33:45Because it belongs to Gareth Merwin, the fisherman from Abiton Eye.
33:49Yeah.
33:50Just feels a bit odd.
33:51His van parked five miles away from where he lives.
33:53Right, yes.
33:55Got you.
33:56Thank you, sir.
33:56Yes.
33:57I will investigate that.
33:59Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
34:07Very interesting.
34:09Gareth, don't do that.
34:10I'm sorry, but you invited me here.
34:15Now, this van poses quite a number of questions.
34:19Look at the tires.
34:21There's a fresh coat of tire shine on them.
34:23The whole of the outside of this vehicle is immaculate.
34:27Gareth has recently had this van cleaned.
34:30To get rid of the evidence from the murder.
34:32What, you think he drove up to Scotch Shack, chucked a Molotov cocktail at it and sped off?
34:36I think there's going to be another murder if a certain national treasure doesn't get to the point.
34:42Gareth wanted this van cleaned because it bears the family name.
34:47Merwin and Sons, a source of great pride.
34:50It's what the outside world sees.
34:52But, ever look on the inside?
34:58What?
34:59It's just like the inside of my car.
35:01Exactly.
35:02A mess.
35:02No order, no care.
35:04A horror show.
35:05Never giving you a lift again.
35:06How does this help us with the case?
35:08This is a man who cares deeply about outward appearances.
35:13Does he explain?
35:15The parking ticket on the windscreen.
35:18No.
35:20Swansea Fish Market.
35:26This case is like the sea itself.
35:29Seemingly calm on the surface, but a plethora of secrets beneath.
35:34Dark depths.
35:36Hidden troughs.
35:38Presumably, you're here to unveil who killed Scott because you've been working with the police, which was glaringly obvious.
35:43So can we just, like, wrap it up?
35:45You are really rude.
35:48But she has got a point, so...
35:50Miss Ory, you are absolutely right.
35:52I have been assisting the police in their investigations.
35:55So allow me to be more direct, if I may, Inspector.
36:00Someone here was having an affair with Scott Wynn Stanley.
36:06Weren't you, Karen?
36:09Of course not.
36:10I didn't like him.
36:12I wanted him gone.
36:13Granted, you did argue with Scott and ask him to leave town.
36:17You told us it was about the food shack, ruining your takings?
36:21Yeah.
36:22No, no, no, no, no, no.
36:24You wanted the kitchen and Joe's terrible, ill-conceived Nouveau Cuisine to fail.
36:29Aye.
36:30Actually, fair enough.
36:32You said it yourself.
36:32He needed to fail for you to get your way.
36:36So why ask Scott to leave?
36:38Because you couldn't have your old flame in town with your husband about to come home.
36:42You're a romantic soul, Karen.
36:45That's what drew you to Scott.
36:48A mysterious newcomer.
36:50It's what made you proposition me.
36:55I didn't proposition you.
36:57As if.
36:58I told you.
36:59I was surprised myself.
37:01But believe me, I'm pretty sure you did.
37:04But romance met pragmatism when you realised your husband was about to come home.
37:09And Scott had no intention of leaving.
37:11You had to make him leave.
37:13If he didn't have the shack, he didn't have a reason to stay.
37:16So you set it on fire.
37:18This is just guesswork.
37:20Prayed not.
37:22The accelerant used on the fire was lighter fluid.
37:25Not only effective at starting fires, it's also pretty handy at removing nail varnish.
37:34Karen, you didn't.
37:41I did.
37:43You crept out of the pub at night.
37:48Doused the decapod with lighter fluid.
37:53And whoosh.
38:01I didn't know he was in there.
38:05No.
38:05No, you didn't.
38:07Only one person did.
38:09The person who'd previously tried to kill Scott.
38:13This needlessly theatrical.
38:15One more word out of you, Greta Turdberg, and I will have you arrested for obstruction.
38:20So who else tried to kill Scott?
38:23A fish supplier that he'd just sacked.
38:28Now you hang on a minute.
38:30It's not easy making a living as a fisherman nowadays.
38:34Especially when you can't catch fish.
38:37As a man of the sea myself, I could tell that the nets on your boat are completely shot.
38:43How'd you catch a fish without a net?
38:44He didn't.
38:45We found a car park ticket for Swansea Fish Market in your van.
38:50Oh, so a fisherman goes to a fish market.
38:52Why is this news?
38:54Because you weren't selling fish.
38:55You were buying it.
38:57You put it on your boat.
38:59Steamed round here.
39:00As if it had just been pulled from the sea.
39:04But Scott found out.
39:06Bad batch that day.
39:07Who knows?
39:08That's why he apologised to his customers.
39:10That's why he sacked you.
39:14You waited for him to close up.
39:16And then you paid him a visit.
39:18You told him to reconsider.
39:20And he said no.
39:23Your reputation stood to be ruined.
39:25Along with your only source of income.
39:35You can't prove anything.
39:38I saw you struggling to find the right spanner when we boarded your boat.
39:44Had one of your tools gone missing.
39:48DNA matches Scott's.
39:50We got a warrant to search your house.
39:52It was hidden, but not well enough.
39:54Like all the tools on your boat, it went back generations.
39:58Merwin Fisherman to Merwin Fisherman.
40:01You couldn't throw it away.
40:07I didn't kill him, though.
40:10You even said yourself.
40:13It was Karen.
40:15If Karen hadn't burned the shack, he'd have been fine.
40:18If you hadn't attacked him, he'd have been fine.
40:22It's a tragedy of misunderstanding.
40:27Proper balls up.
40:31Fast as you can, please.
40:33I just saw a seagull.
40:36Two perps!
40:37I didn't see that come in.
40:38I tell you what, Malowan.
40:39A lot of people can't act the extra paperwork when they step up the DI,
40:42but you, you're smashing it.
40:44I appreciate that, sir.
40:46Where's the other one?
40:50Choppy waters ahead, Gareth.
40:53I hope you sail through, mate.
40:56I know now's not really the time, but I loved you in Poldock.
41:01Oh, thank you.
41:13What a mess.
41:15Dead because of a fling with a barmaid
41:17and a bloke obsessed with some old fisherman.
41:20There's more than that to Gareth.
41:22He built up this fiction and put himself at the centre.
41:26Sort of, like you with ma'am.
41:29What's that supposed to mean?
41:30Come off it.
41:32All this moping.
41:33I'm sorry, I don't buy you a ma'am as some great romance.
41:36You're completely incompatible.
41:38Why am I heartbroken?
41:40Are you?
41:41You seemed a lot less fussed about it the more we got into the case.
41:44And you couldn't wipe the smile off your face
41:47when you thought Karen was trying to jump your bones.
41:49Our distractions may have temporarily blunted grief's claws, granted.
41:54Rubbish.
41:55You loved solving the case just like you loved being heartbroken
41:59for the same reason.
42:01What, Mrs. Freud, is that?
42:04You're a drama queen.
42:06What?
42:07Not in a bad way.
42:09Just who you are.
42:10Why you're an actor.
42:12You're not going to like this, but I'm just going to say it anyway.
42:15When you were really heartbroken,
42:19you shut the world out.
42:21It was too painful.
42:22You barely spoke about Ellen.
42:25That was real.
42:28But with ma'am, you hardly shut up about her.
42:31Do you realise how insulting that is?
42:33I'm such a self-pitying narcissist
42:35that I've projected a mere fling into a serious relationship
42:38to satisfy some absence of creative outlet.
42:43Yeah.
42:45Drama queen.
42:46Right.
42:46I'm not sure I'm quite ready to take life advice
42:50from somebody who is clearly sleeping in their office.
42:52Oh.
42:54How did you know?
42:55I got the same clothes as yesterday.
42:56Faint whiff of Febreze.
42:58It's all right.
42:59I'm not having a go.
43:00You know, I just thought if you're really desperate,
43:03then, oh, maybe you can, you know,
43:06use my spare room for a while, I don't know.
43:09Oh, really?
43:10John Chappell, that's very sweet of you.
43:13But I'm fine.
43:14I found a flat.
43:15Baxter's been pretty unsubtly sending me right-move links,
43:19and one of them's all right.
43:20I went to see it this morning.
43:22Oh, thank God for that.
43:24Thank you very much.
43:25No, I mean, thank God you found somewhere.
43:28I was actually worried.
43:29Oh, worried about me sharing your roof?
43:32I wouldn't stay at yours even if I did need somewhere.
43:34Good.
43:34State of your car,
43:35I'd probably have to hire a round-the-clock cleaner.
43:37Oh, they'd probably leave
43:38the minute they heard your grief jazz.
43:40I can appreciate good music.
43:42I just draw the line out of a glockenspiel.
43:44Glockenspiel?
43:44The glockenspiel?
43:45The glockenspiel?
43:45The glockenspiel?
43:46The glockenspiel?
43:49The glockenspiel?
