00:15VOTE STARTING
00:16VOTE STARTING!
00:16No-one's saying things have to change.
00:19Investing the commune's money in a new processing plant
00:21means we can be profitable.
00:24Money, profit...
00:25When did we become the enemy, huh?
00:27Nick, we're talking about vegan cheese production.
00:31We're hardly ExxonMobil.
00:32What are you thinking?
00:33Yes or no?
00:34I'm probably leaning towards voting no.
00:37I mean, yes. I'm gonna vote yes.
00:39Yes? Yeah? Yeah.
00:41Min, do you mind if I film the vote for my channel?
00:44Great idea.
00:44On the motion to invest in the new processing plant,
00:48I vote yes!
00:49I thought this was a jackboot
00:51on the throat of everything we stand for!
00:53You can just put no.
00:55Omar?
00:55Yeah. Yes. Could've been more yes.
00:58Yeah?
00:59Er, I'm yes as well,
01:01because I actually think new energy is really important.
01:04Shouldn't we wait for Chief?
01:06Oh, democracy doesn't wait.
01:08No, he'd hate to miss this. I'll go and find him.
01:11Jack, do you vote yes for a better, brighter tomorrow,
01:15or no and jeopardise the commune?
01:17Yes. Can't go back to Foot Locker.
01:19Oi!
01:20You bunch of parasites.
01:22Oh, please.
01:22Sorry about this.
01:23Hey, don't apologise to her.
01:25Can you control your mother?
01:26These layabouts are stealing now, are they?
01:28Please, please, one at a time, one at a time, slow down.
01:30Please.
01:31Sounds like Amanda.
01:33Probably run out of phone battery.
01:35It's Chief.
01:36In the Toll Shed, he's...
01:38He's dead.
01:40In the Toll Shed, he's dead.
01:43Special.
01:46Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
02:06I'm surprised murder don't happen more often in places like this.
02:10Everyone living together with no Wi-Fi.
02:12Ah.
02:12It's not natural.
02:13Hmm.
02:15What are you looking for?
02:15No-one. Nope.
02:17No-one. Just, er, Clark.
02:18Yeah, er, Clark, I was...
02:19There he is!
02:20Malowan.
02:21Sorry I'm late.
02:22Er, vital senior police business.
02:25Er, you didn't stop off for lunch at the carvery in town?
02:28It's gravy in your tie, sir.
02:30Oh.
02:31Yeah.
02:32All right.
02:33It's a damn good carvery, though.
02:35Beef, lamb, and or turkey.
02:37Right, what have we got?
02:39Sebastian Granger went by the nickname chief,
02:41so we can't assume he's a bit of an arse.
02:43No living family.
02:44Founded this place 30 years ago.
02:46Someone gave him a good shove onto a horse plough.
02:49Pierced his organs.
02:50Work in theory as he got into a fight that got out of hand.
02:52A fight?
02:53Yeah.
02:54Aren't they all about peace and love, man?
02:56Mm, no.
02:57These people aren't nice.
02:58They're selfish, unreliable drop-outs.
03:04Victim doesn't have any previous, but Socko turned up this in his room.
03:10Five ounces of marijuana.
03:13Mary J, the old marijuana.
03:17So, a hippie drug dealer made some powerful enemies?
03:20Well, I don't know.
03:21There's nothing to suggest he was dealing.
03:24Also, weird for a hippie, no beard.
03:27Mm.
03:28Big mistake.
03:29Never met a man over 50 who didn't look better with a beard.
03:32Mm.
03:33No offensive.
03:35Some taken.
03:36I did try growing a moustache once.
03:38Didn't take.
03:38Oh, yeah.
03:40Wow, if you look up close on his top lip,
03:43it's, like, properly hairless.
03:44Like a little baby mouse.
03:54Cowdery!
03:55What you found?
03:56There's a whole cheese-making room.
03:58The lady let me stir the curvat.
03:59It was like visiting Wonka.
04:01Wow.
04:02Hey, listen.
04:03Erm, on your list of residents, there's not a Michael, is there?
04:07Erm, no.
04:08No Michael.
04:08Why'd you ask?
04:09Oh, no reason?
04:10Just thinking that maybe there's not as many, you know, Michaels as they once were.
04:14You know, you never hear about little baby Michael, do you?
04:17Oh.
04:18Oh, yeah.
04:19This is gonna be a good case.
04:21Childs, I can feel it.
04:23Anyone jumping out?
04:24Ooh, er, Lowry Griffiths, the farmer next door.
04:27Apparently she's hated Chief forever.
04:30Had three different people ask if we've arrested her yet.
04:32Hey!
04:34That's Mukti.
04:35His name means spiritual liberation in Sanskrit.
04:38Yeah, funny.
04:39Last time I checked, it was Michael Malawan.
04:41Did you say Malawan?
04:42Hi, Dad.
04:44Jamie.
04:45It's great to see you.
04:50It's a shame it's under such terrible circumstances.
04:53Under any circumstances.
04:56So, what have you been up to?
04:58In the last three years?
04:59You want me to sum up a thousand days?
05:02It's been three years?
05:05Time, eh?
05:06Oh, Father Time, how he flies.
05:09Fun as this catch-up is, I'm here on a official capacity.
05:13Um, we need to know your movements.
05:15Oh, I've told Evan all about that.
05:16Who's Evan?
05:18Er, that's me, Mum.
05:22Obviously!
05:23I knew that.
05:25Good old...
05:28Evan Chowdry.
05:29You know, Ev's the Chowd.
05:32Has he given you his alibi?
05:34Yeah, that's a tricky thing, see?
05:35I was telling Evan that, er...
05:37I need to check with my alibi that she's happy to speak to the police.
05:42She's a lady friend.
05:43There's a surprise.
05:45Who are you mooching off this time?
05:46I need to speak to her first.
05:49It's the right thing to do.
05:50Yeah, well, I'm so good of you.
05:53Well, off you go, then.
05:55That'll be all.
05:58Namaste.
05:59Namaste.
06:01And he seems nice.
06:02Don't you...
06:12Very good of you to grace me with your presence.
06:14Ugh!
06:15Don't start.
06:16I've been mad busy.
06:17Too busy for a conversation?
06:19Yes, I've had about one morning off in the last two weeks
06:21and I spent that having a root canal.
06:23Might be a bit weird if I turned up with a national treasure.
06:26Could have called.
06:28Can I get a tea, please?
06:29If you want to chat, you can call one of your other friends
06:32or, I don't know, five live.
06:34Most of my friends are either dead or cancelled.
06:37OK.
06:38Well, look, this'll cheer you up.
06:39Murder at an intentional community.
06:42Hmm.
06:44Interesting places, communes.
06:47Bunch of freeloaders, if you ask me.
06:49Am I to intuit your hostility stems from a Michael Mullowan listed here?
06:55Yvonne mentioned his bohemian lifestyle before.
06:58Oi!
06:59Don't ask mum about my dad.
07:02It's very sneaky, John Chappell.
07:04If you want to know about me, ask me.
07:06Well, are you and your father...
07:08Not talking about him.
07:08Anyway.
07:10Most of the residents have an alibi except for three of them.
07:13Min, short for Minerva Maddox.
07:17Impressive namesake, the Roman goddess of wisdom.
07:20And the teacher in Harry Potter.
07:22Very unavailability check for that one.
07:23That's years ago, yes.
07:25Some sort of rat that becomes a man.
07:27Ludicrous.
07:28Couldn't make the dates work, anyway.
07:29Then there's Amanda and Omar Sarney.
07:33Sold up and joined the commune about eight months ago.
07:36So I'm thinking some kind of extreme midlife crisis.
07:40What about these two?
07:41Ah.
07:42Lowry and Aled Griffiths run the farm next door.
07:46They were on the commune looking for a fight.
07:49On the morning, the body was found.
07:51She threatened Chief over a boundary dispute.
07:55It's a bit of a slam dunk.
07:56Might as well arrest her now.
07:58No crime of passion was ever committed over a boundary dispute.
08:01You're focusing on the farm, not the commune, because you're avoiding your father.
08:05Don't be ridiculous.
08:06You certainly seem to be harbouring some form of hostility about him.
08:09Yes.
08:10And with good reason.
08:11He's bad news.
08:12He chews people up and then he spits them out.
08:15So keep his name out your mouth, John Chappell.
08:17All right.
08:21Yvonne.
08:23John.
08:25Janie.
08:29In private.
08:32Oh, go ahead.
08:34I don't exist anyway, evidently.
08:39Cheese twist, please.
08:40It's about your father.
08:41Oh, yes.
08:42I know.
08:43He's back in town.
08:44Long story, but I'm actually waiting on his alibi for a murder.
08:46Well, that's why I need to speak to you.
08:48He was with me.
08:49Ma'am, what was Dad doing with you between the hours of 8pm and 7am?
08:53What were you...
08:54Oh, no.
08:56You're always saying he's a bone-idle moocher.
08:58He is.
08:59That doesn't change the fact he is very gifted in other areas.
09:03Oh, it's like you're trying to traumatise me.
09:05For goodness sake.
09:08Just living my life, Janie.
09:14Well, I'm not paying for her.
09:16I'm not paying for her.
09:21She is unbelievable.
09:23Yeah, I know.
09:25My side of the bed, I'm barely cold.
09:30This is what Dad does.
09:31He ruins people's lives.
09:33Of course, it happens.
09:34Women often rebound intensely after the sudden loss of emotional sustenance.
09:39Physical sustenance, too, possibly, Chad.
09:41Can we move on from Mum and get on to why you're dressed like Toad of Toad Hole?
09:45This is practical farming wear.
09:48It's a tailor-made costume I acquired from a guest part I played in the original.
09:54All creatures great and small, yes.
09:56Young farmer, Pat Calvert, he had a car with tuberculosis.
10:00He's in a bad way.
10:02Veterinary.
10:02Yes, it's considered very moving.
10:04I mean, I believe.
10:05I don't know.
10:06I didn't read the reviews.
10:08Lowry Griffiths.
10:09DI Janie Malawan, Mid Wales Police.
10:11This is our consultant, John Chappell.
10:13I know who he is.
10:14His stupid show is on after Countryfile.
10:16What do you want?
10:17We're here to ask some questions about the murder of Sebastian Grange.
10:21Can you stop doing that?
10:22I barely knew him.
10:23And no, I can't.
10:24Farm never sleeps, eh?
10:25Very like being an actor.
10:27I was in the make-up chair at 6am.
10:296am is when I take my morning break.
10:31After I've cleaned out the manure pit.
10:33Hi there.
10:34I'm Arlade.
10:36What happened to you?
10:37Oh, gone to a scrap and won the sheep.
10:40They've never taken to me.
10:45Hello?
10:49Sorry, I hate allergy.
10:51Have you ever considered not being a farmer?
10:54Don't talk nonsense.
10:56Alive will take over when I'm gone.
10:58This farmer's been in the family for generations.
11:01Must be galling for you then to get dragged into a turf war with Chief.
11:05Don't talk to me about that pound shop Karl Marx.
11:08Oh, he don't like his politics.
11:09He swanned in the earth 30 years ago, filled the place with degenerates.
11:14A posh sice with bollock-brained sice.
11:17When did you last see this bollock-brained sice?
11:21God knows.
11:23We haven't set foot in that place for years.
11:25We've got witnesses that said you were on the commune yesterday morning.
11:28Yeah, she meant a part from yesterday.
11:31Look, they're just pointing the finger at us to hide all the trouble they're in.
11:33Trouble?
11:34Mm-hm.
11:34They've been at each other's throats for weeks, over some big vault.
11:38Oh.
11:39Time for your pills, ma'am.
11:44Right, if that's all.
11:46We had three new piglets this morning.
11:49Oh, can I see?
11:50If you want to be up to your knees in blood while I mop up the placenta.
11:57Thought not.
12:01It has to be her.
12:03Maybe she killed Chief and then went back to the commune to pretend like she was looking for him.
12:07The only person bluffing here is you with these flimsy attempts to avoid the commune.
12:12We need to question the residents, including your father.
12:16You just want to go face to face with your sex rival.
12:19Absolutely not, you vulgarian.
12:22Unlike you, I'm not letting my grievances get in the way of investigating a lead.
12:27He said that the commune was up in arms over this vote.
12:31Fine.
12:32Let's go to the sodding commune.
12:35With a bit of luck we won't even see him.
12:37Very good.
12:42You came back.
12:44Great!
12:45Great!
12:46I know.
12:46Mad concept, isn't it?
12:48Returning to your family, not just vanishing.
12:50Fair cop, officer.
12:52I'll come quietly.
12:53Dad, this is...
12:54John Chappell.
12:55Oh, no introduction necessary, John.
12:58First saw you in an experimental production of The Seagull back in...
13:02God, when was it?
13:03Ninety-six?
13:04You saw that ropey old mess, did you?
13:07All of us barking like dogs every other line.
13:09Ooh, experimental theatre.
13:11Don't remind me.
13:12Still.
13:13Very powerful.
13:15So, what are you doing here with Janie?
13:18Mr. Chappell is our consultant.
13:20He's assisting with the investigation into Chief's murder.
13:23Fair to say he did not go gentle into that good night.
13:26Ah!
13:27Dylan Thomas.
13:28You a fan?
13:29Who isn't?
13:30Musicality.
13:30Man who can make the language sing.
13:33Exactly.
13:34But do you know what I've always thought about Dylan Thomas?
13:36No, and we don't want to know because we're conducting a murder investigation.
13:40Can't stop this one, eh?
13:42She's always been like a little terrier.
13:44How would you know what I've always been like?
13:46Come on, we need to talk to the other commune members.
13:50The ones that aren't just obsessed with the sound of their own voices.
13:56Oh, come, oh, come.
14:00Amanda Sarni, Omar Sarni, Detective Inspector Janie Malowan, this is John Chappell.
14:06From Caesar?
14:08Wow, I used to watch you every afternoon.
14:10Used to.
14:11I hope I didn't do anything to get into your bad books.
14:13No, no, there's no TV here.
14:16Which is great.
14:17Yeah, so great.
14:19I understand you found Chief's body that must have been rough, what with the spikes and the,
14:24you know, the...
14:25It's actually traumatised me.
14:27This whole business has really shaken her up, you know, which I was thinking, you know,
14:31maybe it's a sign, babe.
14:32Maybe it's a sign that we should go back to Reading.
14:34No, I think I just need to sit with the grief.
14:38I've actually already uploaded one video of me sitting with it.
14:4375,000 views in three hours.
14:45Amanda has her own channel, it's doing really well.
14:47Yeah, I just felt like the universe was telling me there was a gap.
14:51I'm a vegan influencer and also an off-grid influencer and I was like,
14:55I can't think of anyone doing both.
14:59Drawing a blank myself?
15:00Yeah, but you seem to have thrown yourself into the community.
15:05I know.
15:06Total surprise.
15:07I'll be honest.
15:09At first, I really didn't want to come here.
15:11It was Omar's idea.
15:13Clever me.
15:14But now I love it.
15:15I can't imagine living anywhere else.
15:17Same.
15:17Neither can I.
15:18Yeah.
15:19Although, you know, the thing with Reading, it's so conveniently placed...
15:22We've heard there's been some tension here recently.
15:25Oh, you mean the stuff with Min?
15:27Omar.
15:28What?
15:29Yeah.
15:29Come on, babe.
15:30I mean, they were at each other's throats over the vote, you know?
15:33She wanted to upscale the Chief's production.
15:35Chief wasn't in favour of her plan?
15:37Chief was dead against it.
15:39And now...
15:40Just dead?
15:41Yeah, but...
15:42No.
15:43Come on, that's...
15:43Oh, sorry.
15:44Sorry, I didn't.
15:45Sorry.
15:46Apologies.
15:48Officer's terrible host.
15:50May I tempt you to a tour of the place?
15:53Yes!
15:54No.
15:58What the hell?
15:59We need to be interviewing Min.
16:01Yes, of course, but it could be useful to get under the skin of the commune.
16:06Oh, fine.
16:07Okay, you ponce off with Captain Flakey and I'll do some actual police work.
16:12Oh.
16:13Oh, very...
16:15Very headstrong.
16:17Just like our mother.
16:19Don't know if you know with one.
16:21Er...
16:22We've met.
16:23Yeah.
16:23Yeah.
16:24Chief practically raised me.
16:27Especially after Mum died.
16:28It's not like we fought all the time.
16:30Sometimes Chief was a softie, but...
16:33At times he could be hard.
16:35It's like cheese.
16:37Sorry.
16:38When I was 18, I went off to uni to study business.
16:42See the big city.
16:43Oh, where'd you go?
16:44Norwich.
16:46Chief said it was a waste of time.
16:48That I'd hate it.
16:49Yeah, but you loved it.
16:51No, I hated it.
16:52No.
16:53Everyone treated me like a lab experiment because I'd never heard of Harry Styles.
16:57Must have been tough.
16:58Yeah.
16:59It was tough.
17:01But do you know what was worse?
17:03Coming back here and have him belittle everything I'd worked for.
17:06My dad can be like that.
17:08Just because I don't drink kefir or want to live in a yurt doesn't mean I'm a slave to the
17:12machine.
17:13See?
17:14Kefir was just one way we could expand our profit margins.
17:17Chief didn't want any of it.
17:20I don't expect you to get it.
17:21No.
17:22No.
17:23My dad's Mukti.
17:24Oh.
17:25Okay, so you totally get it.
17:27Yeah.
17:28Yeah.
17:29I've actually got a couple of Dylan Thomas first editions in my collection.
17:33You collect books?
17:35Yeah.
17:35Yeah.
17:35Oh, John.
17:36Of course you do.
17:38Well, that's the one downside of this place.
17:41Too much work.
17:43Not enough time to enjoy literature.
17:46Art.
17:46Mm.
17:47Shouldn't those seeds be nurtured too?
17:49How can I put it?
17:50I guess I'm finding grief isn't a straight line, but it comes more in waves.
17:55Don't forget to like and subscribe.
17:57Tomorrow I'll be posting a recipe for pulled jackfruit.
18:03Namaste.
18:05Amanda seems to be exempt from having to do too much work though.
18:08Yeah.
18:09Chief's favourite.
18:10Said her social media channel was her work.
18:14I think there's more to it.
18:15I don't know about that, but, uh, yeah, she got special treatment.
18:20Oh.
18:21Once a week she'd be allowed off her duties to drive Chief into the local town.
18:24They'd be gone for hours.
18:26Oh!
18:27Nogdi, do you think you could give me a hand on loading the van?
18:30Because we just picked up a fresh load of chicken feed and it's actually really quite...
18:33Just showing the police consultant round, yeah?
18:36Sorry.
18:37Sorry.
18:38Yeah.
18:40She's fine.
18:41She's fine.
18:41Come on, Zach.
18:42That's quite...
18:43Yeah.
18:43Right.
18:44My mum brought me here when I was a kid.
18:47This was her dream too.
18:49Hmm.
18:50Look, no offence, but why are you even talking to me?
18:53You should be arresting that mad old bag who runs the farm.
18:56Oh, Lowry's got an alibi.
18:58What, her lying son?
18:59Hmm.
19:00She's always had it in for Chief.
19:02The boundary hasn't moved for 30 years, it's just another excuse for her to kick off.
19:06A few weeks ago she attacked him with a rake.
19:09Hmm.
19:10Well, that is interesting.
19:13Yeah, I'm going to need some more of it, so...
19:16I'll just take that.
19:19And then...
19:21And that is our little collective.
19:23That is an extraordinary place.
19:25I don't suppose there's anywhere I could use the facilities.
19:29Oh, it's just for you.
19:30Oh!
19:31Oh, I see.
19:32Oh, yeah.
19:33It seems to be a bit of a queue.
19:35Yeah.
19:36Yeah.
19:37Yeah, that's what happens when there's one toilet to 20 people and every flippin' meal is
19:40beans and pulses.
19:41It's like...
19:42Yeah.
19:43I hope you don't mind me asking, Omar.
19:44But, um...
19:45Why are you here?
19:48Because I need a poo.
19:50Yeah, no, I mean in the commune, uh...
19:54Oh, generally.
19:55Yeah.
19:57I love it here, you know.
19:58It's, uh...
19:59It's home now.
20:01Oh, yeah.
20:02You wouldn't know yesterday's football scores, would you?
20:04Afraid not.
20:05No.
20:06No phones allowed, you see.
20:08Oh.
20:08No internet.
20:10How does Amanda run her channel, then?
20:12She's never off the phone.
20:15Well...
20:15Yeah.
20:16Yeah, it's a bit different for her because it's for the good of the commune.
20:19So, she gets to keep her phone.
20:21Um, she uses the Wi-Fi from chief's office, so...
20:24Mmm.
20:25Some of us are more equal than others, then.
20:28Oh!
20:29Oh, well.
20:30Now there's an author we could run over the cold.
20:33There's a great little bookshop in the town, do you know it?
20:36I know it well.
20:37Absolute treasure trove.
20:38Come on.
20:39Well, no, no, I shouldn't.
20:41I...
20:42John!
20:42Er...
20:43No, all right.
20:43I'm not firm.
20:44I suppose...
20:53Where'd you get to?
20:55I've got a lift with Michael.
20:56I told you I didn't want you hanging around with him.
20:59You want me hanging around?
21:00You make me sound like a teenager.
21:02Meeting the smokers behind the bike sheds.
21:05That's what he does.
21:06He reels people in.
21:07I made the best choice for our investigation.
21:09You'd see that if you weren't so blinded by your old resentments.
21:13Do you want a biscuit?
21:15I've left you the Bourbons.
21:19I'm taking this as an apology.
21:21It's not.
21:22Anyway, get this.
21:24This isn't the first time Chief has ended up on the wrong side of some farming equipment.
21:28Lowry attacked him with a rake last month.
21:31Neat.
21:32But not compelling.
21:33I'm not feeling it.
21:34I'm not feeling it.
21:36I'm not feeling it?
21:36Mm-hmm.
21:36Sorry that my very compelling evidence against our top suspect isn't getting your juices flowing.
21:41Lowry hated Chief for 30 years.
21:44Why kill him now?
21:45I don't know.
21:46Bad day.
21:47Maybe she's stepped on some Lego or something.
21:50No.
21:51No.
21:51No.
21:51My antennae are twitching towards the commune.
21:55And Amanda.
21:57She's the only person on our list that doesn't have a clear motive.
22:01Chief didn't allow phones or Wi-Fi.
22:03So why bend the rules for her?
22:05Well, same reason people always bend the rules for people like her.
22:08She's fit.
22:09See?
22:10Even you're perving on her.
22:11Don't be preposterous.
22:13I'm analyzing her social media for pertinent information.
22:16Look.
22:16If you have solar, you can use a blender.
22:20But I like to just go back to how it would have traditionally been done.
22:23With a pestle and mortar.
22:25Just get a nutribullet, you freak.
22:27I thought her videos would hint at her real relationship with Chief.
22:31It's not in a single one.
22:34But look who is.
22:36Aled.
22:37Your mum said you hadn't been on the commune for years.
22:40So why were you sneaking around there 11 days ago?
22:43I can't tell you.
22:44You realize you've lied to a police officer during a murder investigation?
22:48Aren't you scared I could arrest you?
22:49I'm not scared of me. I'm finding out, to be honest.
22:53Fine.
22:54I was seeing men.
22:57No smartphones, so this was the only photos you could give me.
23:01And seen each other for a year now.
23:03If it wasn't for mum, I'd be shouting from the rooftops.
23:05Your mum who recently assaulted the victim, you kept that one quiet as well?
23:08Why didn't Chief press charges?
23:11All the bad blood.
23:12You think he'd jump at the chance?
23:14I had to beg him.
23:15Told him about the problems we've been having.
23:17We've been losing money hand over fist.
23:19It's not sustainable.
23:20And with mum getting on...
23:21Well, she seemed to think that you'd be taking over.
23:24Look at me.
23:25I'd run it into the ground in a week.
23:28I'm just waiting to turn it into a glam site.
23:30Alan!
23:31Come on!
23:32My name's Chef Spardy!
23:34Excuse me.
23:36Gotta go castrate some rams.
23:40How the hell did he get Chief to drop the charges?
23:44And even answer back to his own mother?
23:46It's hard to believe.
23:47And so's the story of the farm hemorrhaging money
23:49when they've got a brand new feeding system
23:51and a new shiny tractor.
23:52Yes.
23:55Um...
23:56Chowdhury?
23:57Yeah, got some more homework for you.
23:59I need you to do some digging into the farm's financials,
24:02see if you can turn anything up.
24:04Laters.
24:06PM's in.
24:07Shall I drop you off on my way in?
24:09No, I think I might stay out here for a while.
24:12I'm really starting to appreciate these...
24:15these big skies.
24:22It's been such an emotional time for us all.
24:25You must miss Chief terribly.
24:28I put on a brave face for my followers.
24:31Really, it's Min I worry about.
24:33She's lost the closest thing she had to her dad,
24:35the same way she lost her mum.
24:37Not literally the same way her mum died of heart failure.
24:40She wasn't impaled by a horse plough.
24:42No.
24:44So you've, um, you've taken Min under your wing, so to speak.
24:49Min's so young but she knows exactly what she wants out of life.
24:54And do you?
24:56Oh, yeah.
24:57I've got everything I need here, you know.
25:00And Omar loves it too and he gave up so much to join.
25:03You and Chief were close, weren't you?
25:06Weekly trips into town.
25:07Oh, that was nothing, just shopping.
25:11Chief didn't have much of an eye for fashion.
25:13He wanted a woman's opinion.
25:15Ah.
25:16He thought I heard the voice of a renaissance man.
25:20John!
25:21Oh!
25:22Oh!
25:24What, no genie?
25:26She off hassling some Extinction Rebellion protesters, I suppose?
25:30No, Michael, no.
25:31Not Mukti.
25:32Not Mukti.
25:35She's committed to her job, you know.
25:37I'm actually very good at it.
25:39Of course.
25:40Of course.
25:41So, er, what brings you here?
25:43Well, actually, I've come to drop something off for you.
25:49Yeah, er...
25:50Ta-da!
25:5225 poems.
25:54Yes.
25:54Well, I thought you might enjoy it as a Dylan Thomas connoisseur.
25:59Brother.
26:00This is wow.
26:01No.
26:01No, it's...
26:02It's actually a first edition.
26:03Oh!
26:05Right, well, I...
26:06I really ought to get going, actually.
26:08No, what are you talking about?
26:09We can't leave poems like these on the page.
26:12We've got to get out there.
26:14Blast them into the air.
26:17What now?
26:19Bit mad, isn't it?
26:20There is only today.
26:24What the hell?
26:28Injuries are all in line with what you'd expect.
26:31But there are a couple of interesting things.
26:33First, I'll say this for vegans.
26:35They always have a lovely bowel.
26:36You're not sure that's going to help me crack the case?
26:38No.
26:39Second, he had cancer.
26:40So he was already dying?
26:42No, not necessarily.
26:43It's not so far advanced that he couldn't recover with the right treatment.
26:47We got a third?
26:48No.
26:49Damn.
26:49I was really hoping we'd have more than that.
26:52Could do with wrapping this up quick.
26:53Oh, things not going great with your dad.
26:55There must be so many parents that would love it if their kid became a police officer.
26:58Why do I get the one that would prefer if I was making protest art out of macaroni?
27:02Anyway, ignore your dad.
27:04No, you love being a detective.
27:07Yeah.
27:10Oh, Maloan.
27:11Glad I caught you.
27:12Just put a fresh batch of case reports on your desk.
27:14Need signing off.
27:15Now?
27:16Any time between now and, er...
27:18Yeah, actually, now.
27:19Great.
27:19Well, I'll just solve murders in between forms.
27:21Cracking.
27:22Oh!
27:23How's it going with the old, er, commune murder?
27:26Er, getting there.
27:27Just a few distractions.
27:29Hmm.
27:30I did hear your father was involved.
27:32You're not worried he's linked to the murder, are you?
27:33No, I wish.
27:35A spell inside might finally teach him some responsibility.
27:38Did I ever tell you about my old man?
27:40Gary Clark.
27:41No longer with us.
27:42We didn't speak for years.
27:44Yeah, what happened?
27:46Big argument about the best route from Patalbot to Brecon.
27:49I said A465, A470.
27:50He said A4067 up towards Senny Bridge.
27:53Right.
27:54What's your point, sir?
27:55The point is we lost touch.
27:58He was a great man.
28:00But he never knew how I felt.
28:02Because of my pride.
28:04We don't always have as long as we think.
28:09So, what about M4, then A470?
28:13To Brecon.
28:15I'd want to get there the same day.
28:17Oh, you'd have enjoyed that.
28:21There you are, ma'am.
28:22What now?
28:23What is it you would like to talk to me about is my question.
28:29Er, I've been doing some digging into the farm financials like you asked.
28:33They weren't lying about going broke.
28:34The real question is how they didn't fold months ago.
28:37I knew there was something dodgy going on.
28:39Yes, but the real news is the Commune.
28:41I mean, up until June, they had thousands in their account.
28:43In the last few months, Chief's practically spent all of it.
28:47On what?
28:48When we searched his room, it was just dust and weed.
28:51Great work, Evan.
28:53No, sorry, it's too weird. You're Chowdhury.
28:57No more lift its head to the blows of the rain,
29:01though they be mad and dead as nails.
29:05Heads of the characters hammer through the daisies.
29:09Break in the sun.
29:12And the sun breaks down.
29:16And then, shall have no dominion.
29:23What a performance.
29:24Oh, can I do it? What? Come on, that was all right.
29:27I suppose it was...
29:28You've a poet's soul, John Chappell.
29:31Care to please her up?
29:33No, he doesn't, and that better be tobacco.
29:36Of course, officer.
29:37Oh, John and I, we were just...
29:40Titted about, yes, I noticed.
29:41Why don't you join us? Give us a song.
29:44Should've heard her tiny Tim in the Year 5 Christmas Carol.
29:48Yes, you should've, but you didn't.
29:49You forgot.
29:50And you had to hear about it from Mam instead.
29:53Mukti's invited me to an arts festival this Saturday.
29:56He wants to introduce me to a few of his friends.
29:58Just my own little coterie.
30:00Some poets, sculptors, oh, and one very challenging mime.
30:05I need to have a word with Dad alone.
30:07Yeah, I will, but...
30:09Can you, just for once, go without saying anything, John Chappell?
30:18What have I done?
30:19Nothing as per usual.
30:21I didn't think you'd want to join us, the way you've been acting.
30:24We've barely spent any time together.
30:27Because I've been trying to solve a murder.
30:29Not that you care.
30:31You hardly know anything about me or my life.
30:33You're not even interested in John because he's my friend.
30:36You just want to add him to your collection of artsy-fartsy acquaintances.
30:41You know I'm drawn to new energy.
30:43And you need to accept that some people prefer to live outside the narrow boxes that society creates.
30:50Well then, some people shouldn't be parents.
30:55Well, I'm terribly sorry if my instinct to create and nurture life makes me a terrible person.
31:15This is just what he does.
31:16He swoops in, you have a great time, you're packing your bag for Oakwood theme park, and then suddenly, mam's
31:21taking you out for a Sunday because he's disappeared again.
31:23He might have changed.
31:25Okay, fine. Well, while you've been busy falling under his spell, I've been driving this investigation.
31:31Chief has secretly drained the commune's accounts.
31:34I've got Chowdhury checking with a bag to see if anyone else here knew about it.
31:38That's him.
31:41Well, well, well.
31:43Look who's countersignatory.
31:49Okay, let's recap.
31:51You found out about the missing money, you killed Chief, and then you tried to bribe an officer of the
31:57law with cheese to cover your tracks.
31:59That last one's not going in the official charge sheet.
32:01I didn't kill Chief.
32:04Who murders someone over money?
32:06Loads of people.
32:07We argued.
32:08That's all.
32:09I don't believe you.
32:10Touch wood, my dad hasn't embezzled my life savings, but I still want to kill him sometimes.
32:14Chief wasn't my dad.
32:15He was the closest thing you had.
32:17You thought he was finally taking you seriously, but he was just watching you pour your heart and soul into
32:23something he knew would never happen.
32:26I was angry.
32:27I'd worked so hard.
32:30But when he told me where the money went, private hospital treatment for his cancer, I couldn't exactly carry on
32:37yelling at him, could I?
32:41I didn't know what to do.
32:43I felt ashamed.
32:45I said some horrible things, so...
32:48I left.
32:50Did you tell anyone else?
32:53Aled?
32:54I don't speak to Aled.
32:56OK, drop the act.
32:57We all know you two were in a secret relationship.
33:00We were in a secret relationship.
33:02Until his mum found out and made him pick.
33:04Her.
33:05Or me.
33:07I suppose it's a no-brainer, really.
33:09She owns a gun and castrates things on a daily basis.
33:11Yeah, fair.
33:13Were you two still together when this video was taken?
33:19That's Mandy's birthday.
33:21We broke up the week before, so whatever he's up to there, has nothing to do with me.
33:28Men's love of the commune is at the core of her character.
33:31The passion is there, but the motive is it's all wrong.
33:35A woman that idealistic wouldn't kill over money.
33:38But it's not just about the money.
33:40It's about him not believing in her.
33:42Yeah, it's something she's dealt with her entire life without impaling anyone.
33:46No, the real question is why Aled was sneaking onto the commune.
33:52Do you think Min was lying about the break-up?
33:54No.
33:55I watch a lot of Love Is Blind, and she had the same energy as one of the ones that
33:59don't go to Mexico.
34:00Forbidden love.
34:01Oh, it's all very Capil and Montague, isn't it?
34:06Yes.
34:07The chapel.
34:10Yes, the grudge.
34:11Festering on over the years.
34:13Heartbreak.
34:14Hatred.
34:16Does it answer the central question, though?
34:18It has to be Min.
34:20Her father figure completely betrayed her.
34:22Some people can't keep a lid on their parental resentments, you know.
34:25Is that supposed to be aimed at me?
34:27Well, I'll spend some time with Michael now.
34:30He's hardly the monster that you paint a picture of.
34:32Yeah, that's just what he does.
34:34He gaslights people into thinking he's great, then he runs away.
34:38Unreliable, perhaps, yeah, but he's not malevolent.
34:41He's an innocent.
34:42He's useless!
34:44I needed a dad!
34:51I'm sure you did, yeah.
34:54And I'm sorry.
34:57But look at you now, you're a grown woman.
35:00You've got a successful career and your own place.
35:03Which you haven't set foot in.
35:05Even though I bought a plant and made it all homely.
35:07Yeah, look, you don't need Michael in your life anymore.
35:12But if you give him a chance...
35:16Well, you might find you want him in it.
35:21I've tried too many times.
35:24He just always lets me down.
35:27He's a classic dad.
35:29Everything's always about him.
35:32Never mind his family or anybody else.
35:36That's it.
35:39I know who killed Chief.
35:51Sorry.
35:51Always wanted to do that.
35:53Carry on.
35:56Oi, is this gonna take long?
35:58Cos I can't see why me and my son
36:00need to be dragged into the sordid affairs of these tax dodgers.
36:04It's a bit late for either of you to be worrying about that, isn't it?
36:07Alad.
36:09I couldn't work out why a big scaredy cat like you would risk
36:13sneaking onto the commune and getting caught by your mum
36:16unless it was to see men.
36:19He wishes.
36:20Then I remembered about your money troubles.
36:23How are you keeping the farm afloat?
36:27Turns out there is a type of farming you are good at.
36:32Cannabis.
36:33This is how you got Chief to drop the charges against Lowry.
36:37By becoming his personal supplier.
36:40Alad's not a drug dealer.
36:41He faints if he has to give the antibiotics to the sheep.
36:44Tell him.
36:44I don't even grow up myself.
36:46I just let some blokes from the village rent the barn and that's all.
36:50My own son.
36:53Tiada Gelwys.
36:54But you've been lying too.
36:56Haven't you Lowry?
36:57I don't know what you're talking about.
36:59But I first noticed when you said Caesar,
37:02there was one after Countryfile.
37:03Well that's not been the case. It's the mid-noughties.
37:06It was Countryfile, then Caesar, then Attenborough.
37:09Made sense for the sort of audiences we attracted.
37:11Very A1, B1, sometimes the C2.
37:14John, they don't care.
37:17It was the first clue of many.
37:19Insisting that the commune was on the wrong side of a boundary line
37:23that was set 30 years ago.
37:26Bossing your son around and him reminding you to take your meds.
37:30And when you said that you hadn't set foot in the commune for years,
37:34you were lying.
37:36You just didn't remember.
37:38Mama.
37:39They say it's dementia.
37:41Not a fuss over nothing if you ask me.
37:43Is it?
37:44For 30 years you've hated, Chief.
37:47But it's only the last few months your behaviour has escalated.
37:51You're not as in control as you think you are.
37:55Are you saying it was me?
37:58Because that would be Sod's law.
38:00If I killed him, I'd certainly like the pleasure of remembering it.
38:04Mama.
38:05It wasn't it.
38:06We know.
38:07It all came together when we found out why Chief had drained the commune accounts.
38:12To pay for his cancer treatment.
38:14That's why he relaxed the rules for you, Amanda.
38:17He wanted someone to drive him to the hospital.
38:20Someone who would agree not to talk about his illness.
38:26Yeah, okay.
38:27Yeah, I drove him to his appointments.
38:29Yeah.
38:29And you got something out of it for yourself.
38:33Secret visits to a place you didn't want anyone to know about.
38:39Please don't, because this will kill my brand.
38:42The Carvery.
38:43Four meats and bottomless gravy.
38:46$8.99.
38:47Mandy!
38:48Babe!
38:49Tell the truth, Amanda.
38:51You're gonna be for the best.
38:56Those pigs and blankets were the highlight of my week.
38:59I hate being a vegan.
39:00I hate being an influencer.
39:03I hate this place.
39:05I'm only here because Omar loves it.
39:08Sorry.
39:09I'm only here because I thought you loved this place.
39:11I hate this place.
39:13I hate the food.
39:14I hate the routine.
39:14I hate the people.
39:15No offence.
39:16Can we go home?
39:18Can we eat normal food?
39:19Yeah.
39:19We can watch TV and have a proper flushing toilet.
39:22And the internet.
39:23Yes?
39:24Yes?
39:25Why didn't Chief just tell us he was ill?
39:27Because he didn't want one of you to know.
39:32It started just like you said.
39:34You confronted Chief.
39:36He admitted how he'd spent the money.
39:38But it didn't end there.
39:40It was the cancer treatment that was the last straw.
39:43The one selfishness you couldn't forgive.
39:47Not after your mother.
39:49She had a chance to be saved.
39:52A heart transplant in America.
39:54Chief said it was impossible.
39:57It was too expensive.
40:01I had to watch her die and there was nothing I could do.
40:04And then he gets ill.
40:06And suddenly it's the best treatment that money can buy.
40:08He treated you like his own daughter.
40:11He treated me like shit.
40:13All of us.
40:15This was his own little kingdom where he was the only one that mattered.
40:20He would have destroyed this place.
40:23Minerva Maddox, I'm arresting you for the murder of Sebastian Granger.
40:27Chief's name was Sebastian?
40:29Yeah.
40:31I imagine this land is yours now.
40:34If you'd be prepared to take a DNA test.
40:37You are.
40:39Ma'am.
40:39I'm not going to be in Canada.
40:40I'm not going to be in Canada.
40:42The hatred that fierce could only grow from a love turned sour.
40:47Chief was added father, wasn't he?
40:50Father.
40:52I've known bulls with a bigger sense of responsibility.
40:56He turned his back on both of us.
40:58You got the last laugh though.
41:00With Chief gone, the commune land is yours.
41:03No.
41:04You can't take it.
41:05It belongs to all of us.
41:06Yeah, that is nice.
41:08But, er, legally it's rubbish.
41:10So we're going to close?
41:11Al, er, your financial troubles are solved.
41:14But, er, on the downside, I am going to have to arrest you for the cultivation of a Class B
41:18drug.
41:19Yeah.
41:20Now, er, this is a little bit awkward, but you two are going to have to share a lift down
41:23to the station.
41:25Is Radio One alright? So...
41:30So, how was the arts festival?
41:34There was no arts festival and there was no fellow group of artists.
41:40Your father didn't show up.
41:43I'm sorry.
41:45I did warn you.
41:51There can't be.
42:00Michael!
42:02You appear to be late to pick me up.
42:04I, er, some 42 hours roads.
42:07Busy, were they?
42:08Sorry about that, John.
42:09Actually, I'm looking for a...
42:11Ah, there she is.
42:12Great!
42:14I just wanted to, er...
42:17Er...
42:18Yeah, I've been thinking a lot about what you said.
42:22Not thinking a lot about returning my first edition, by the looks of it.
42:26Er, can you give us a minute?
42:28Hmm.
42:36You see, I thought you being spiky with me, that was just...
42:40Well, that was our thing.
42:41Never occurred to me that you were hurting.
42:43No, I know it didn't.
42:45Not much does occur to you.
42:48You're right.
42:50But it's just that...
42:51See, you and your mom always seem to have everything down.
42:56I thought, you don't need me.
42:59I'm sorry.
43:02But I want things to be different.
43:03I want to get to know my Janiebach properly.
43:07And I was wondering if...
43:08If you're not too busy...
43:12If we might go for an ice cream.
43:17Er, well...
43:18Er, me and John are in the middle of something right now, so...
43:21You should go.
43:23I've got things to do anyway.
43:25Alan will be here in a minute, so...
43:27You know he gets antsy when guests are here, so...
43:30Yeah.
43:34Alright.
43:36If you don't mind.
43:37Oh, God.
43:47So, er...
43:48How much ice cream does it take to make up for 30 years of being rubbish?
43:53A lot.
43:55Oh, Mr Whippy won't cut it, then.
43:56No chance.
43:57We're talking gelato.
43:59Waffle cones minimum.
44:00Cool.
44:30You know healthier about it.
44:36As you
