00:00This is harassment.
00:02Where were you at 3 p.m. yesterday?
00:04I don't have to tell you anything.
00:06I have rights. Inalienable rights.
00:09You're travelling over the freedoms of an innocent man.
00:12Well, you're a suspect in a murder investigation.
00:15DC Chowdhury?
00:16You're under arrest. Resist not.
00:18I didn't do it. I'm not a killer.
00:20This is outrageous. What was it, the police state?
00:23Some Kafkaesque purgatory, robotic enforcers.
00:26Where is the love in this world?
00:32Right.
00:33What did I do wrong there?
00:35Anyone?
00:36Look, I get it. It's the hottest day of the year.
00:39You don't want to be here.
00:41I don't want to be here.
00:42I'm happy to be here.
00:43Thanks, Sandy, but we're all here
00:45because you all messed up and need rehabilitating
00:48and it's fallen on my lucky lap to run this thing.
00:51So start engaging.
00:54Gemma.
00:54I don't need rehabilitating.
00:55You pepper sprayed a hen do.
00:57They were mouthing off at me.
00:57You poke the bear, you're gonna get hurt.
01:00Um, well, I thought you did brilliant,
01:01but you didn't announce that you were police.
01:03Great, great.
01:05Reminds me of the call-outs I used to have with my old partner Gary.
01:08I'd announce.
01:09He'd stand behind looking menacing.
01:11Have I told you all about Gary?
01:13Yes, yes, at length you did.
01:15Anybody else?
01:16Well, you didn't show your warrant card.
01:18Good, Aisha.
01:19Also, that was a vulnerable old man.
01:21It could have shown some empathy.
01:22I'd run out of empathy when he had rewritten the script for the 50th time.
01:26Any other mistakes?
01:28You used John Chappell in the video,
01:30reminding everyone that you're the station
01:32that makes Mid Wales Police a laughing stock.
01:34But if they kick off, send them to me.
01:37See how brave they are when they're dealing with the head of professional standards.
01:41Ms. Chaloner, er, ma'am, sorry, er, I do need everybody to pay attention,
01:47regardless of seniority.
01:49Absolutely.
01:50And I'm one of you lot.
01:52No preferential treatment.
01:55No, don't worry.
01:57I'm just stuck on a cause for claiming a bottle of fizz on expenses.
02:00It's a pain in the arts.
02:02OK, bye.
02:03Right.
02:05Obviously up to you, but it's 1pm, so let's take lunch now.
02:09Er, yeah, yeah.
02:11No problem, Ms. Chaloner, ma'am.
02:14Malawa?
02:15You had to see Phil Holmes.
02:18Did he know he was my mentor?
02:19Had a hunch, yeah.
02:21Er, he gave me a ten-minute analogy earlier
02:23about how police work was like ordering a Chinese.
02:26Yeah.
02:26Hey, hey.
02:27You can't all be sauce.
02:29You need your egg fried rice.
02:30Yeah, I remember very well.
02:31Where is he at?
02:32Oh, he went to the loo on the tea break earlier.
02:34Hasn't come back since.
02:37Barry Clarke.
02:38Looking for your boyfriend, do you?
02:42Excuse me, D.I. Malawa?
02:44There's a nasty smell around here.
02:46Oh, that might be the lunch.
02:48Er, yeah.
02:48Salmon and couscous.
02:49We had a nut allergy.
02:50I panicked.
02:55Dad?
02:57Yeah, yeah.
02:58Couple of hours and it's, it's, it's, it's surf o'clock.
03:02Yeah, cowabunga, nolly.
03:04Dad, I'm gonna have to stop the surf talk.
03:06It's making me hate myself.
03:07Oh, my God.
03:09Phil.
03:10He's dead.
03:32Sorry to call you here on Saturday, especially to a toilet.
03:35Oh, it's alright.
03:37I was taking my niece to soft play.
03:39Smells exactly the same.
03:40Do Ben actually use these or just lean on them and pee on the floor?
03:44It wasn't me.
03:45I like a sit down wee.
03:46Yeah.
03:47It's where I wordle.
03:50I'll get started on the statements then.
03:55Sorry.
03:56That's weird.
03:57Key card for Bryn Glass Manor's proper fancy.
04:02Does he look like the luxury hotel type to you?
04:05Hard to tell from the back of his head.
04:07Know what you mean, though.
04:08Not getting white lotus vibes from his flaky scalp.
04:14Sorry for your loss, Sue.
04:15He's a bloody good bloke.
04:17One of the best.
04:19Cause of death, heart meds in his back pocket.
04:22So I was thinking heart attack.
04:24Yep, but not your usual heart attack.
04:28Can we see this?
04:30Blood spot on the bottom of his shirt.
04:32There's a puncture wound on his lower back from an injection.
04:35Could he have done it himself?
04:36If he was a yoga instructor, maybe, but I'd say no.
04:39We'll run blood tests, but I think he was injected with something
04:42to bring on the heart attack.
04:43I know who did this.
04:45Owen Skinner.
04:46What was all that between you two earlier?
04:48Nah, we both worked under Phil back in Patal,
04:51but I was a golden boy.
04:53Best in the intake that year.
04:54Really? You?
04:55Was it a bad year?
04:56No.
04:58Yeah, alright. Notoriously bad.
05:00But that's not the point.
05:02Owen was dodgy.
05:03A real bad cop.
05:04Phil had him investigated.
05:06Nearly ended his career.
05:08Owen swore he'd get revenge.
05:10Well, maybe today he did.
05:12I think you're letting your personal connection
05:14to the victim cloud your judgement.
05:16I want everything thrown at this.
05:18I want John Chapelier.
05:19Well, not you in this toilet, but you know what I mean.
05:21I've already called him.
05:23I could hear a woman's voice in the background.
05:25Proper suss.
05:26Sorry, not relevant.
05:29Could I have a moment?
05:31You want to say your goodbyes to him?
05:33No, I...
05:34I need to...
05:36What, sir?
05:37No, no, no.
05:42Hmm.
05:43Quite the challenge we have here.
05:45In the hardest case here at Chapel.
05:47Indubitably.
05:48I'm surprised you'd call me in, actually.
05:50You might have forgotten about me.
05:52Passed me over for Michael.
05:53Oh, no.
05:55I've been spending time with my dad
05:56instead of the national treasure
05:58who lives two towns over
05:59who moans literally every time I see him.
06:03It's fine.
06:04I'm reconciled to being rejected
06:06by the entire Malauan clan,
06:07unless you have a great aunt
06:09queuing up somewhere to reject me.
06:11He's here, Aunty Blodwin.
06:13If you're gonna sulk, go home.
06:15Out of the question, you need me here.
06:17What, a killer cop?
06:18Someone who's spent their entire lives scrutinising crime?
06:21I know you'll need an outsider of unique brilliance,
06:24not a police officer to crack this.
06:25How long have I gone for?
06:26Er, we don't have long,
06:28but I have come up with a clever little idea
06:31to buy us a few more hours.
06:33Right.
06:34As this whole police station is now a crime scene,
06:38nobody leaves until I say so.
06:40Could be worse.
06:41How?
06:42We're trapped in a police station
06:44and one of us is the murderer.
06:45Only one of us.
06:46The rest of us aren't.
06:47Have to look for the positives.
06:49What if I don't want to stick around?
06:51Mm!
06:52Sounds like a threat.
06:53Say the word and I'll take him out.
06:54Oh!
06:55Speaking as the most senior officer here,
06:57take it from me.
06:59Anyone leaving the station
07:01can collect their P-45 on the way out.
07:05Thank you, Miss Chaloner, ma'am.
07:08Also, I'd like to say that you smell lovely, ma'am.
07:11Is that sandalwood, ma'am?
07:13Is it all right that I'm calling you, ma'am?
07:15I'm saying, ma'am, too much, aren't I?
07:17Can I suggest anyone keen to leave
07:20might be shining the light of suspicion on himself?
07:24Oh, bloody hell.
07:26John Chappell.
07:28Now the circus has got its clown.
07:30Thank you, officer.
07:31The fool in Shakespeare always speaks the unwelcome truth.
07:35I'll take the compliment.
07:36Well, he's not a clown.
07:37That's the nons from the video.
07:38Let me nick him.
07:39No, no, no.
07:40It's police consultant.
07:41Yes.
07:41Mr. Chappell?
07:43Aisha Lanzata.
07:44I'm such a huge fan.
07:47Thank you, but I'm afraid my acting days are behind me.
07:51No.
07:51Of your police work.
07:53Oh.
07:53I've read up any cases.
07:55Deep psychological profiling like yours can be vital.
07:57I'm not sticking around to listen to this.
08:00Absolutely not.
08:01As I said, this station is locked down.
08:06Nobody leaves.
08:07Tenerife, here I come.
08:10Oh.
08:11Three hours to the plane.
08:13Not even have time for an airport pint.
08:20What's going on?
08:21It's a standards cluster bomb.
08:23I need you to get the rest of top brass in and brief them,
08:27which on a Saturday is going to make me as popular as a turd
08:30in a trifle but needs must.
08:33Oh, what?
08:33Miss Chaloner, that's my office.
08:35Yeah, I'm commandeering it.
08:37Oh.
08:38Right, okay.
08:39Well, it's just it's got my chair here.
08:41It's a really nice chair.
08:43I've got a sneaking suspicion I won't be using it,
08:46so knock yourself out.
08:47Right.
08:48Oh, yeah.
08:49Look busy, look busy, look busy.
08:56Right, what have we got?
08:57Er, well.
08:59Victim, you already know, Phil Holmes.
09:02Rose through the ranks before moving behind a desk
09:04for health reasons, dealing with HR
09:07and then moving into finance.
09:09Chowdhury, check all of the station's CCTV for this morning.
09:12On it, Mum.
09:13Oh, also, can you call Bring Glass Manor?
09:16I don't buy for a minute that Phil was staying there.
09:19Maybe the killer was and dropped their card.
09:21Highly doubtful.
09:22Modern men of a certain age are partial to a bit of pampering these days.
09:27You've got a good point.
09:28Even I've started exfoliating.
09:30I thought your skin was glowing, sir.
09:31It's radiant.
09:32Can you get on with the CCTV, Chowdhury?
09:34Right.
09:36I've got to go and do the worst part of the job.
09:38Ah, school visit on drug safety?
09:40No.
09:41Go and break the bad news to the widow.
09:44Poor Barbara.
09:47You've smartened up.
09:49Nice lunch with a lady, was it?
09:50I don't see it's any of your business.
09:53Oh, come on.
09:54Who's Mammy trying to get your leg over with this time?
09:56You gutter-minded filth merchant.
09:59Yes, I was enjoying an alfresco luncheon with a lady,
10:03but it was merely a catch-up with my agent Annabelle.
10:05Got an acting job?
10:06There has been some interest.
10:08Yes.
10:09The Magenta, the Mabinogian director.
10:12Oh, she's finally got in touch.
10:14She's interested in me for a big Netflix series.
10:17London Treason is a high-end drama set in a Jacobean London.
10:21Yes, I would play an ailing Shakespeare.
10:26Oh, my God.
10:27It sounds yawn, but great.
10:30Netflix, back in the big time.
10:31Yes.
10:33I'm not doing it.
10:34What?
10:35They want me to self-tape an audition.
10:39Me.
10:39Isn't that what you lot do?
10:41I'm offer only.
10:42I haven't done an audition per se since 2001.
10:46Yes, Judge John Deed.
10:48They went with Martin in the end.
10:50Virtuous.
10:51So you're just throwing your career away?
10:53No, I have a career.
10:55This.
10:56My police consultant work is far more rewarding.
10:59This isn't your career.
11:02Just a hobby.
11:03You're helping me out.
11:04I'm the inspired deducer here.
11:06I have a lead.
11:08Yet our victim hated Owen, and Owen vowed revenge.
11:12No.
11:13I've just read Owen's file.
11:15He's on this course of being forceful with a suspect.
11:18No, he's pretty naturally venal, but he's hardly a criminal mastermind.
11:22No, this was planned.
11:23It doesn't tally psychologically.
11:25It's not-
11:25Well, psychologically, Owen hated Phil, and Phil ended up dead, so I'm questioning him.
11:30Alright, you enjoy your wild goose chase while I do some actual detective work.
11:35Hopefully I'll have this solved by tea time.
11:37Oh, pfft!
11:38Pfft!
11:41Oh, Janie, come on.
11:42Can I just sneak out?
11:43I'm not mixed up with all of this.
11:45I haven't left the front desk all day, not even the urgent stuff.
11:47Look, once we've gone through the CCTV, you can be cleared.
11:52It won't take long.
11:53You can still make your flight, Cliff.
11:58Right.
11:59I need to talk to Owen alone.
12:02Ooh, lucky me.
12:04I'm going anyway.
12:05Thanks, Gemma.
12:06Good chance to film a horse bottle.
12:07Great idea.
12:09What are you doing with that?
12:10One kilometre weighted walking lunge.
12:12You can lock me up, but you can't stop my gains.
12:16Looks like I picked the wrong month to quit smoking.
12:19Oi!
12:19That's the drugs amnesty bin!
12:21Oh, dear.
12:23What, you got the local cartels leaving their heroin in it?
12:25For your information, there has been drugs in there.
12:29Mainly night nurse, but people are easily confused, so...
12:33Is this going to take long?
12:34It's just a few questions.
12:47This morning...
12:48No, no.
12:49This has given me vertigo.
12:54This morning, everyone left the course for a tea break at 11.40.
12:59Where did you go?
13:00No comment.
13:03Did you go to the toilet?
13:04No comment.
13:05If you're innocent, why don't you just tell me what you know?
13:14No comment.
13:15No comment.
13:17Okay.
13:18Are you staying in a nice hotel while you're here?
13:21Travel Lodge?
13:22Why?
13:23Are you chatting me up?
13:24I'm flattered.
13:25Oh, why?
13:26Are you such an arse?
13:27I might be an arse, right?
13:29But I'm an innocent arse.
13:30If you were a half-decent detective, you'd have realised who did it.
13:33We're on the same side here.
13:36We are not on the same side, sweetheart.
13:39I am on the side of the proper police.
13:40While you're with your little actor friend in Fantasyland.
13:43Believe me, my fantasy does not include being in a sweaty police station with a pig like you.
13:49Pig?
13:50I think that hurt my mental health.
13:54You're not going to tell me anything, are you?
13:57No, I'm not.
14:01Move, Farrell!
14:12What you doing?
14:14Oh, Jesus.
14:15I'm examining our victim.
14:17His character.
14:19Discrepances.
14:19Last hours on this mortal coil.
14:22Looks like you're having a nap.
14:24Found anything juicy?
14:26Couple of inconsistencies, yes.
14:28Now, firstly, Phil sat at this desk.
14:32Why?
14:34Hearing aid case in his jacket pocket and yet he chooses the desk furthest from the front.
14:40He was sat at the front.
14:41He moved.
14:42I thought it was to get away from Gemma.
14:43Why would he want to get away from Gemma?
14:45Her personality.
14:46And she said she was ill and wanted to go home sick.
14:50I just thought maybe he didn't want to catch it.
14:51She came in and asked to go home rather than phone it in.
14:55PURTINENT CHAPLE
14:58Wasn't it?
15:01I take it young Aisha, sat here.
15:04Charming girl.
15:05Appreciates my skills.
15:06Unlike some.
15:07Did she and Phil seem close?
15:10Uh, they kept going for coffee together.
15:12Well.
15:12He kept following her.
15:14Interesting chapel.
15:36You look like a dog. You're not going to wee on that, are you?
15:38You five-year-old. I'm actually doing some detective work despite being a mere hobbyist.
15:45Do you need a hand getting up?
15:47No, thank you. I'm not an invalid. I'm actually remarkably out of half of my age.
15:53Didn't this strike you as odd? All that caffeine with his heart.
15:57Well, look, this mug is full and these two here have been deposited into this tired pot plant.
16:05Oh, I didn't notice.
16:07Curl surprise. How did you get on with Owen?
16:10He's holding something back. He's been all smug like you and you know something I don't.
16:14I'm actually quite wounded.
16:16Well, you haven't got time to be wounded. Come on.
16:21Dad, I know. I know. I meant to call you.
16:25I wanted to see you too.
16:28Can't I wait until tonight?
16:30No, I can't leave.
16:32I'm locked in an oven full of police officers.
16:36Pigs in blankets. Very funny.
16:38Well, I'll make it up to you tonight.
16:39Bye.
16:41Dad.
16:42Really?
16:43I'd assumed it was an 11-year-old child, the way you were placating them.
16:47Wait, is all this because he ditched you for that arts festival?
16:51Absolutely not. I barely considered his flagrant act of cruelty.
16:55I feel bad. I really enjoy getting to know him better, but I keep brushing him off for work.
17:01Surely he understands by now that your job is important.
17:05Well, what if I'm forcing him away?
17:07He's your father, not a flighty teenager.
17:10Right now, I think I should take the lead when we talk to Aisha.
17:13We're not talking to Aisha. We need to check in with Chowdhury on the CCTV.
17:18Typical. Wasting your time when we have a real character inconsistency to investigate.
17:23All right, fine. You do it your way. I will do it mine.
17:30Oh, Mr. Chaffel. Coffee?
17:34Love one.
17:37Oh, is black okay?
17:38Fine.
17:40I did actually want to pick your brains as a disciple of psychological study.
17:45Great.
17:48Wow. I can't believe I get to watch you at work.
17:51Oh, you don't mind if I take notes, do you?
17:53Not at all, no.
17:56Nice. Now, the method of murder is psychologically interesting.
18:03Syringe, poison, often seen as a woman's method.
18:08Miss Chaloner?
18:10Hmm, not impossible, but the murder does present logistical difficulties for her.
18:15Now, it's clever, but it does have the clumsy hallmarks of youth.
18:21Gemma? She's definitely psychologically unstable.
18:24We trained a police college together.
18:27She flipped out and tasered an instructor on a training exercise.
18:30Hmm.
18:31A little more volatile than a more measured method and no motive.
18:34Yeah.
18:35But when we were all introduced this morning, Phil thought he recognised her.
18:40And who else is there?
18:43Uh, me?
18:45I didn't even know Phil.
18:48It's got to be Gemma.
18:50Or Andy.
18:51A resident optimist's hardly a killer.
18:54Yeah.
18:55But on one of the tea breaks, I heard Andy tell Phil no hard feelings about what happened.
19:00But he's got to be your guy.
19:02Hmm.
19:04Well, that is interesting.
19:08Oh, wait.
19:09You didn't suspect me at all, did you?
19:12Well, people do tend to be quicker with the truth when they feel backed into a corner psychologically,
19:16you see?
19:17Wow.
19:19Seriously, you should be doing Ted Talks.
19:21No, no, no, no.
19:23Possibly.
19:25Oh, God, it's hot.
19:30I'm doing it.
19:31I'm taking off the tank top.
19:36Anything on Brynglas Manor?
19:38Yeah, just got off the phone with them.
19:40Phil was definitely staying there.
19:42Damn.
19:43Anything else?
19:44They got a special offer next weekend.
19:4640% off.
19:4740%?
19:48Fancy a day at a spa?
19:49I'd really like that, ma'am.
19:51Great.
19:52Er, anything on the CCTV?
19:54Yeah, er, something very weird.
19:57Today's footage isn't there.
19:59It's just plain yesterday's.
20:00See, I'm in my rain jacket.
20:02Have you put a sandwich wrapper into the drugs amnesty bin?
20:05Sorry, ma'am.
20:06I'll go check out the server room.
20:07See if I can recover today's footage.
20:19Ah!
20:20Ah!
20:21Pause!
20:27Sorry, ma'am.
20:28Didn't see you.
20:30Any update?
20:30I can report to the higher-ups.
20:31Or are you just fanning your baps?
20:33Well, uh, sorry. Um, yeah, um, the investigation's ongoing.
20:40Oh, sorry. Um, new lead. New lead on the case I have to chase.
20:52Surprise!
20:55Bad vibes, man.
21:00What the hell are you doing here?
21:02Oh, I couldn't wait to tell you. Got a phone call from, uh, an old friend.
21:07Julia. She's a ceramicist. Wonderful spirit.
21:12Please, skip to the point.
21:13Well, she needs somebody to look after her house in Portugal for a year.
21:19Right on the coast. Prime surfing spot.
21:22Great. Knew this would happen.
21:26Barely back at my life two minutes and you're swanning off.
21:28No. No, actually, I came to see if you fancied coming.
21:32Move to Portugal?
21:34Just for a year.
21:35Er, no, it's a nice idea. Yeah.
21:39But, come on.
21:41Yeah. It'll be much, I guess. You're right.
21:45I'll say no.
21:46You're not going?
21:47No. You want to make up for lost time?
21:49Oh. Great. Yeah.
21:53We will.
21:54We will.
21:55But not now.
21:56Now you have to go.
21:57Oh, yeah.
22:04Ouch.
22:15Yeah.
22:16What is it now? It is you now.
22:18I'm trying out a new way of speaking.
22:21How was the widow?
22:22Horrible.
22:24Never gets easier.
22:26Plus, I got the wrong house at first.
22:28Told some poor woman her husband was dead and he walked through the door.
22:31I thought you knew her.
22:33I haven't seen her for years.
22:34I thought perhaps she'd change her look.
22:36Anyway, how are we getting on with the case?
22:38It's still early stages, sir.
22:39Well, luckily, I've done some proper detective work and found a lead.
22:44There's a link to Phil in Andy's past.
22:47Really?
22:48What is it?
22:49I don't know.
22:50I was hoping you might look it up on your system.
22:52I thought you didn't need me.
22:54Just look into it, you two.
22:56If you'll be so fine.
22:58Oh, just...
22:59Come on.
23:00Two years ago, you were demoted and transferred.
23:05The person that signed off on that decision was one Phil Holmes.
23:10What happened, Andy?
23:13All right, fine.
23:14Yes, Phil did transfer me out.
23:16But he was right to.
23:17Just after my partner Gary died.
23:19Gary's dead?
23:22I'm sorry.
23:23I didn't know.
23:25I was a mess.
23:27Everyone can master a grief, but he that has it.
23:32That's very nice.
23:34Is it Pam Hayes?
23:37Will Shakespeare.
23:39Gary was the best partner you could hope for.
23:42Then one day, a car crashed into us on the job.
23:46I was lucky, but they tried everything and there was nothing they could do for Gary.
23:53I'm so sorry.
23:55They didn't want to operate with him at his age.
23:57How old was he?
23:5917.
24:01Gary was a teenager?
24:03Yeah, and his back legs had gone.
24:05He'd had arthritis for years.
24:07So, his back legs?
24:10Gary was a dog?
24:12Yes.
24:12I was in the dog unit.
24:14Didn't I mention it?
24:15No.
24:15No.
24:16Talk about burying the lead.
24:18No, no, no offence.
24:19Look, I know it looks bad, but Phil did me a favour.
24:22I couldn't stay in the dog unit.
24:24Oh, Chowdhury wants to see us.
24:30So, yesterday's files have been wiped over today's deliberately, but I'll see if there's
24:34a backup.
24:35How could someone do that?
24:36They'd have to have come in here and done it on the system.
24:38Oh, that's interesting.
24:39Yes, it's maybe Chama.
24:40Chama, our young fitness freak.
24:43Apparently, Phil seemed to recognise them when they first met this morning.
24:46Chama's always been weird.
24:48Ever since training college.
24:51Oh, does that mean you and Aisha train together as well?
24:54Yeah.
24:55We actually go way back.
24:57She's great.
24:58Oh, my God.
24:59You fancy Lanzetta.
25:01No.
25:02No way, boss.
25:03No.
25:04No.
25:04As if.
25:04As if.
25:05There's no.
25:05No way.
25:06What's she like, Chowdhury?
25:07You strike me as the typical police officer.
25:10It's much more open-minded than some.
25:13She's super smart.
25:14You know those people that don't even look at their phone when they watch telly?
25:17Ah, the intelligentsia.
25:19Hmm.
25:20She's really driven.
25:21Her mum went to jail when she was a kid, which made her full-on anti-crime.
25:25She's ace.
25:26And single, too.
25:28Switz-woo!
25:29Sorry.
25:30That came out like an owl.
25:31No.
25:32No backup on here.
25:34Today's files have been totally wiped.
25:36We don't need CCTV anyway.
25:38All we need is our minds, motives and characters.
25:40That will unpick this business.
25:42It's not all the clues.
25:43Not necessarily.
25:45What?
25:48Nicotine gum wrapper.
25:50Gotcha.
25:55Bill's killer went into the station server room and changed the CCTV to cover their tracks.
26:00Good for them.
26:01I'm happy for them.
26:03This places you in the server room.
26:06Oh, come off it.
26:07I don't even know where your server room is.
26:09Someone's framing me.
26:11Well, obviously.
26:11What?
26:12If you took even a passing interest in character rather than fixating on physical evidence,
26:16you'd realise there's no way Owen is behind the CCTV.
26:20Look at his tie.
26:21Oh, whoa, whoa.
26:22What about my tie?
26:23Forgive me, but it's hardly the cutting edge of fashion.
26:26No, this is the man who hasn't tried anything new since the 90s, yet we're supposed to believe
26:30he's tech-savvy enough to transfer the CCTV files from one day to another.
26:35Older men can be tech-savvy.
26:38I've watched you edit your Wikipedia page.
26:40Maybe corrected a few untruths, removed some of the more banal reviews.
26:44Excuse me.
26:45As fun as this is to watch, can we get a wriggle on?
26:47You're protecting a killer.
26:49Someone who tried to put you behind bars, and I think you know more than you're letting
26:53on, so just spill the beans, buddy.
27:00You're actually pretty perceptive, you two.
27:03Annoying, mind.
27:04Look, I know people think I'm a dinosaur, but I'm a good cop.
27:08I've got the right brain for the job.
27:10I remember details, names, cases.
27:13And this morning, I realised someone on the course had a motive to get revenge on Phil.
27:19Gemma!
27:20Phil recognised her.
27:22Oh, swing and a miss, Poirot.
27:25No.
27:26Back in the day, Phil arrested a young mum.
27:29He could have let her off with a warning, but Phil went by the book.
27:33Young mum got sent down.
27:35Lost her kids.
27:37I remember the name.
27:39Not a very common surname in Patalbot.
27:45You claimed you didn't know Phil, but he was the officer that sent your mum to prison.
27:51Bit of a coincidence.
27:53So, coincidences happen.
27:56But I had no idea he was the arresting officer.
27:58Maybe not until this morning, Aisha.
28:01That's why he kept following you to the kitchen.
28:04He wanted to get you alone.
28:07To apologise.
28:09All right.
28:10Yeah.
28:11He told me.
28:12Pretty strong motive for murder.
28:14Pretty strong, not actually.
28:16Doesn't make sense.
28:17I told him he didn't need to apologise.
28:20Mum going to prison was the best thing that happened to her.
28:23She came home a changed woman.
28:25Phil saved our family.
28:28Why should we believe you?
28:30Because it's the truth.
28:32Look, are we done now?
28:34My blood sugar's low and I need a cork or you'll have another body on your hands.
28:43Really hope she's not our killer.
28:46I was going to set her up with Chowdry.
28:48Typical.
28:49Meddling in people's business.
28:51Chowdry wants to ask her out.
28:52He'll do it when he's ready.
28:53Maybe he is ready and he doesn't know he's ready and he just needs that final push because he's scared
28:59of rejection.
29:00I do not audition.
29:02Your acting is a gift.
29:05I hate to see you waste that.
29:07It's like when a Wetherspoons takes over a big old library.
29:10Sorry?
29:10It's a waste.
29:11That's why I want you to do the audition.
29:13Because you're not a Wetherspoons, John Chappell.
29:17You're a big old library.
29:19That's a rather elegantly termed conceit for you.
29:26Little of the old, though.
29:28You going off site again, sir?
29:30No, I deliver who's here.
29:32Yeah, I thought we should feed our guests so I've got curry in.
29:35Curry? It's 38 degrees.
29:37Yeah, cools you down.
29:38Best thing in this heat.
29:45Not joining us, Gemma.
29:47Oh, that rubbish.
29:49Nah, solider for losers.
29:50Got a protein shake.
29:52Recovery fuel.
29:53Just uploaded my walk-in lunch to my fitness tracker app.
29:56You seem a lot better since this morning.
29:58Be honest.
29:59You weren't ill, were you?
30:00You only wanted to leave after Phil recognised you.
30:04Fine.
30:05We knocked heads about me claiming kettlebells on expenses.
30:09Didn't want any Atmos, so I thought I'd shoot off.
30:12I didn't kill him, though.
30:14I'm going for a plank.
30:16That's me and Gary in Pembrokeshire.
30:19Oh, that was a great mini-break.
30:23That's Gary's surprise birthday party.
30:25All the other police dogs showed up.
30:28And that's us on top of Snowden.
30:31Before the arthritis.
30:33We certainly have solace photos from those we love pass.
30:37You've experienced a traumatic loss, too?
30:39Well, I have, Andy.
30:40That I have.
30:42What breed?
30:45Human.
30:47Oh, he reminds me of my old partner.
30:50He could lick his own balls, too.
30:54That's really insensitive.
30:56Oh, come on.
30:57It's funny.
30:58Well, I still can't see the funny side.
31:00I keep getting stuck on the part where I come round in hospital
31:02and find my partner's gone
31:03because there's not enough money for his operation.
31:06I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye.
31:09But I'm sure one day I'll find it funny.
31:16Still, he could have said he was a dog.
31:25Baxter, sorry.
31:26Mouthful and on.
31:27Yeah, I'll keep this short
31:28because I'm going to the darts.
31:30Mm.
31:31Any update on my victim?
31:32Cause of death was heart failure.
31:34He was definitely injected with a large dose or something.
31:37Nothing that's showing up on the routine test, though.
31:39So, I've sent off a blood sample for specialist testing.
31:43I'll let you know when we get a hit.
31:44Oh, thanks.
31:45Ooh, well, I've got you.
31:46Erm, me and Chowd's are planning a spa day.
31:49It's 40% off Brain Glass Manor.
31:50Do you fancy it?
31:51Mm, I can't.
31:52Bad from me.
31:53How do you get bad from a spa?
31:55People don't like the way I relax.
31:58All right, then.
31:59I'll bring you back some sandalwood body scrub.
32:03Bye.
32:07Once again, I have to say, you smell amazing.
32:10It's sandalwood, isn't it?
32:12If you say so.
32:13Smells just like the body scrub they have at Brain Glass Manor.
32:16We called and confirmed you're booked in there, as was Phil.
32:21So?
32:22You two seem to stay at the same hotels a lot.
32:26What with your affair.
32:28For the tape, Ms. Chandler just totally closed her eyes like people do when they've been caught out.
32:33All right, we were seeing each other, but I didn't kill Phil.
32:38I loved the daft bugger.
32:41But what about your marriage?
32:43If it came out?
32:44My marriage has been dead for years.
32:46Then why carry on in secret, meeting Phil on away days?
32:51It's the only time I could see him.
32:52This job takes up every minute, and the more senior you get, the less life you get.
32:59How do you, uh, find time for your family?
33:03You got kids?
33:04No, just a needy dad and a high-maintenance national treasure.
33:10It's hard.
33:11I FaceTime the kids half an hour a week each.
33:14What is the point climbing the ladder if that's all you end up with?
33:18We love the job.
33:19That's why people like us do it.
33:21You might not see your family all the time, but that's what Christmas is for, isn't it?
33:26Yeah.
33:29Phil cheated on Barbara.
33:31I don't see Fiona as our killer, though.
33:33She loved Phil.
33:35No.
33:36We're missing something obvious.
33:38The method.
33:40Injection.
33:40It feels significant.
33:42A statement.
33:43A couple of important things for you, Mum.
33:45Firstly, the freezer on the first floor has a pack of almond magnums in it.
33:49Bagsy!
33:49Get it.
33:50And, uh, secondly, I've had, uh, Phil's phone records back.
33:53He rang someone at Midwell's police HR this morning.
33:56I've chased it up.
33:57It was for a file.
33:58For Gemma Mason.
34:00They're sending it over now.
34:02Gemma?
34:03I don't know.
34:05No, nor do I.
34:07Where's the motive?
34:09I mean, they cross paths on a claim over kettlebells, but you're hardly likely to kill a man for being
34:14tight over expenses.
34:19Unless...
34:21Of course, Gemma.
34:23Does that mean he knows who did it?
34:25Yeah.
34:26Why didn't you just say so?
34:28Total drama queen.
34:29What's going on?
34:31Can we go?
34:32Yep.
34:32All free to go.
34:33Yes, everyone.
34:36Except Phil's killer.
34:39Okay, that was actually, like, proper dramatic.
34:41Yeah, we could just hurry up, though.
34:43I got a flight in two hours and, uh, I might just still make it.
34:47Let's begin at the beginning.
34:49Or the middle.
34:49Phil came here knowing a secret about someone on this cause.
34:54I've already owned up about the affair.
34:56I wouldn't kill him to keep it secret.
34:58You and Phil?
35:00Naughty, Miss Jaliner.
35:02Everyone knows two police employees can't be in a relationship.
35:04Yes, they can.
35:05They just have to declare it.
35:07Really?
35:07Yes, of course.
35:11Aisha, I declare I like you.
35:14Do you want to go for a drink?
35:15Yeah, I declare I do.
35:18Right, so, is she the killer?
35:20No.
35:21Well, she lacks a true motive.
35:24Unlike you, Gemma.
35:26Phil recognised you earlier, but he didn't know why.
35:29It wasn't because of the kettlebells.
35:31He remembered sometime this morning, called HR and confirmed his hunch.
35:35Your GP raised concerns over your suitability to be a police officer due to your mental health.
35:40An admin error meant that it wasn't acted upon.
35:44You're not supposed to be on the force.
35:46It was all bullshit.
35:48I'm a cop.
35:49I have to be.
35:50My dad was a cop.
35:51His dad was a cop.
35:53His dad was a decorator.
35:54But then his dad was a cop.
35:56I'm a good cop.
35:57You argued with him here.
35:59Threatened him.
36:01It would look pretty bad after Phil was killed.
36:04Which is why you doctored the CCTV.
36:08We went on your fitness app profile.
36:10You logged a walking lunge earlier.
36:13The GPS shows you stopped for three minutes.
36:17Right about where the station server room is.
36:20Long enough to replace the footage.
36:22And leave a nicotine gum wrapper to incriminate Owen.
36:26I planted the odd bit of evidence in my time.
36:29But to be on the other side of it.
36:31Oh no, I feel sullied.
36:33Right.
36:33I've got an hour till my check-in closes.
36:35I'm sweating like a glassblower's arse.
36:37Is she the killer?
36:39No.
36:40Oh, Jesus wept.
36:42No.
36:43This murder is all about revenge.
36:47Oh, you don't still think it was me.
36:49I told you I never wanted revenge.
36:52No, you didn't.
36:54But somebody else did.
36:56Andy.
36:59Me?
37:01What for?
37:02The bureaucrat that made the decision
37:04not to pay for your old partner Gary's life-saving operation.
37:08That decision was made by Phil.
37:12I didn't know.
37:13Oh, you knew.
37:15It haunted you.
37:16Then you were summoned to a training course.
37:19And you saw a familiar name would be there.
37:22The man who had taken away your partner.
37:25Had put him down.
37:27Like Gary was a dog.
37:28You would have got away with it
37:29if you just whacked him over the head.
37:31But no, you wanted to make that murder special.
37:34You wanted to put Phil down
37:35the way he'd put Gary down.
37:38When the group took a tea break
37:40you took your chance and followed him.
37:43And you delivered the fatal blow.
37:49Right, this is a very nice story.
37:52I imagine you've got proof.
37:54Your actions are proof enough.
37:57Your guilt written through your core
37:58like the writing in a stick of seaside rock.
38:04So, no.
38:07Well, um...
38:08What?!
38:09Let me think a minute.
38:10Well, fun as this has been
38:11I really should be getting home.
38:13Crufts is on in an hour.
38:16Balls to Crufts!
38:17You can't let him leave.
38:19He did it!
38:21I know he did it!
38:22Well then, you need to have proof, don't you?
38:25Lucky for you, I do.
38:29Crufts is going to have to wait, Andy.
38:30Mr. Chappell doesn't always think
38:33that physical evidence is very important.
38:36Fortunately, he has a partner
38:38who knows how to build a case.
38:40Pathology didn't turn up much at first.
38:42We didn't know where to start.
38:44But results came in 15 minutes ago.
38:47Phil overdosed on xylazine.
38:50It's a sedative commonly used on dogs.
38:54Doesn't prove anything.
38:55Where would I even get this sedative?
38:57Vets are broken into all the time.
38:59The one in Abagota was broken into last week.
39:01And guess who was one of the officers
39:05who was called out?
39:08Ta-da!
39:10Easy enough to help yourself.
39:12Good point.
39:14And what am I supposed to have done with this sedative?
39:16I've not left the building,
39:18and it's not on me.
39:19Good point.
39:20Yeah, I was pretty stumped at first.
39:23But then I realized,
39:24where's the obvious place to put drugs
39:27that wouldn't raise suspicion?
39:29The drugs amnesty bin.
39:32The label confirms it was from the vets,
39:36fingerprints on the syringe,
39:38and I'm pretty sure forensics
39:40will be able to match Phil's DNA.
39:42Undoubtedly.
39:44Just as I suspected.
39:51He killed my best friend.
39:53Oh, my God.
39:54Get him out of my sight.
39:56Take him down the station.
39:58We're already here.
40:00Oh, yeah, I mean the cells lock him up.
40:05Sad, isn't it?
40:07So, so sad.
40:10Well, I'm off.
40:16See?
40:19Very clever.
40:24Oh, Janie.
40:25Good work out there.
40:27Thanks.
40:28Oh, and, um,
40:30sorry for exposing your affair.
40:32It's fair enough.
40:33And I mean it.
40:34Good work today.
40:36I'll have to keep an eye out for you.
40:38I can see you ending up at the top,
40:40like me.
40:41Great.
40:43You headed home now?
40:45No.
40:46Got to go and brief the media,
40:47then wait to a conference tomorrow.
40:50Means I'll miss my daughter's birthday,
40:52but 19.
40:53I mean,
40:54not that special, is it?
41:05Dad?
41:06No, just finished.
41:09Yeah, we can catch a few waves.
41:11Ha-ha.
41:12Erm,
41:13er, no, just a load of paperwork,
41:15but it can wait.
41:16Yeah, I want to see you.
41:19Also, Dad,
41:20I've been thinking.
41:25I need it.
41:27Are we?
41:28Yeah.
41:29Aw!
41:30You waited for me?
41:31I need a lift home.
41:33Oh.
41:37It's mad.
41:38It's even though...
41:39Very sweet.
41:41Just think,
41:42if you hadn't asked her out,
41:43you'd still be wondering,
41:45what if?
41:46Neat.
41:48Ah,
41:49point made.
41:51Yes,
41:51with all the delicate nuance
41:52of a bin lorry.
41:55I'll do the audition.
41:56Really?
41:58Nice one, John Chappell.
41:59Yes, well,
42:01maybe you had a point.
42:03Hmm.
42:04I am not a Wetherspoon.
42:06No.
42:07Hmm.
42:09Aw.
42:11They really are cute.
42:13Well, I thought,
42:14if you weren't too busy,
42:16we could have a celebratory coffee.
42:18Toast,
42:19yet another brilliant success.
42:21Toast,
42:21me solving the case
42:22and saving your arse,
42:23more like.
42:24That's preposterous.
42:25I was the one
42:26who worked out
42:27the revengeful drives
42:29of our surprisingly deceitful
42:30perpetrator,
42:31and you
42:32looked in a bin.
42:33And nailed our killer.
42:34Anyway,
42:35I would love to come
42:36for a celebratory cortado
42:38with you,
42:39but
42:39I'm going surfing with Dad.
42:41You can come,
42:41if you like.
42:42I'll pass on the sandy crack,
42:44if that's all right.
42:45Yes.
42:46So,
42:46I did try surfing once.
42:48It looked like I was
42:49rotting an ironing board.
42:50Well,
42:51we should do something soon,
42:53because
42:54I've actually got some news.
42:57Dad
42:57has asked me
42:58to go to Portugal with him.
43:00Two weeks
43:01in the outer garb
43:01of your pale skin,
43:03your burn-up on entry.
43:04No,
43:05no,
43:05it's for a year.
43:06Yeah,
43:07I'd have to take a sabbatical.
43:09How'd he take that
43:10when you've told him no,
43:11then?
43:12Er,
43:13well,
43:14I actually just said yes.
43:16I'd have to tell Clark
43:17to make it official,
43:18but,
43:18erm,
43:19I'm going to do it.
43:20Right,
43:21yeah.
