00:15VOTE STARTING!
00:17No-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.
00:30We're hardly ExxonMobil.
00:31What are you thinking?
00:32Yes or no?
00:34I'm probably leaning towards voting no.
00:36I mean, yes. I'm gonna vote yes.
00:39Yes? Yeah? Yeah.
00:40Min, do you mind if I film the vote for my channel?
00:43Great idea.
00:43On the motion to invest in the new processing plant,
00:46I vote yes.
00:48I vote this is a jackboot on the throat of everything we stand for.
00:51You can just put no.
00:53Omar?
00:54Yeah.
00:55Yes.
00:55Could it be more yes?
00:56Yeah?
00:57I'm yes as well,
00:59because I actually think new energy is really important.
01:02Shouldn't we wait for Chief?
01:04Oh, democracy doesn't wait.
01:05No, he'd hate to miss this.
01:07I'll go and find him.
01:09Jack, do you vote yes for a better, brighter tomorrow,
01:12or no and jeopardize the commune?
01:15Yes.
01:15Can't go back to Foot Lock, huh?
01:17Oi, you bunch of parasites.
01:20Sorry about this.
01:20Hey, don't apologize to her.
01:22Can you control your mother?
01:23These layabouts are stealing all that.
01:25Please, please, one at a time, one at a time or so down.
01:27Please.
01:28Sounds like Amanda.
01:29Probably run out of phone battery.
01:32It's Chief.
01:33In the tall shed, he's...
01:35He's dead.
01:36In the...
01:37He's dead.
01:38He's dead.
01:39He's dead.
01:42Oh my God.
01:43Oh my God.
01:44Oh my God.
01:47Surprised murders don't happen more often in places like this.
01:50Ah.
01:50Everyone living together with no Wi-Fi.
01:52Ah.
01:52It's not natural.
01:53Hmm.
01:55What are you looking for?
01:55No one.
01:56Nope.
01:57No one.
01:57Just, er, Clark.
01:58Yeah, er, Clark!
01:59I was...
01:59There he is!
02:00Malowan.
02:00Sorry I'm late.
02:02Vital senior police business.
02:04You didn't stop off for lunch at the carberry in town?
02:07It's gravy in your tie, sir.
02:10Oh.
02:11Yeah.
02:11Alright.
02:12It's a damn good carberry though.
02:14Beef, lamb and or turkey.
02:16Right.
02:17What have we got?
02:18Sebastian Granger went by the nickname Chief,
02:20so we can't assume he's a bit of an arse.
02:22No living family.
02:23Founded this place 30 years ago.
02:25Someone gave him a good shove onto a horse plough.
02:27Pierced his organs.
02:28Work in theory as he got into a fight that got out of hand.
02:31A fight?
02:32Yeah.
02:33Are they all about peace and love, man?
02:34No.
02:35These people aren't nice.
02:36They're selfish, unreliable drop-outs.
02:42Victim doesn't have any previous, but Socko turned up this in his room.
02:47Five ounces of marijuana.
02:50Mary J.
02:51The old marijuana.
02:54So, a hippie drug dealer made some powerful enemies?
02:57But, I don't know.
02:58There's nothing to suggest he was dealing.
03:00Also, weird for a hippie, no beard.
03:04Hmm.
03:04Big mistake.
03:05Never met a man over 50 who didn't look better with a beard.
03:08Hmm.
03:10No offensive.
03:11Some taken.
03:12I did try growing a moustache once.
03:14Didn't take.
03:14Oh, yeah.
03:16Wow.
03:16If you look up close on his top lip, it's like properly hairless.
03:20Like a little baby mouse.
03:30What have you found?
03:31There's a whole cheese making room.
03:33The lady let me stir the curd vat.
03:34It was like visiting Wonka.
03:36Wow.
03:37Hey, listen.
03:38Um, on your list of residents, there's not a Michael, is there?
03:41Um, no.
03:42No Michael.
03:43Why'd you ask?
03:44Oh, no reason.
03:45Just thinking that maybe there's not as many, you know, Michaels as they once were.
03:48You know?
03:49You never hear about a little baby Michael.
03:51Do you?
03:52Oh, yeah.
03:54This is going to be a good case.
03:55Shouts.
03:56I can feel it.
03:57Anyone jumping out?
03:58Who?
03:58Uh, Lowri Griffiths, the farmer next door.
04:01Apparently she's hated Chief forever.
04:03Had three different people ask if we've arrested her yet.
04:06Hey!
04:08That's Mukti.
04:08His name means spiritual liberation in Sanskrit.
04:11Yeah, funny.
04:12Last time I checked, it was Michael Malawan.
04:14Did you say Malawan?
04:16Hi, Dad.
04:18It's great to see you.
04:23Shame it's under such terrible circumstances.
04:25Under any circumstances.
04:28So, what have you been up to?
04:30In the last three years?
04:32You want me to sum up a thousand days?
04:34It's been three years?
04:37Time, eh?
04:38Oh, Father Time, how he flies.
04:41Fun as this catch-up is, I'm here on an official capacity.
04:45Um, we need to know your movements.
04:46Oh, I've told Evan all about that.
04:48Who's Evan?
04:49Uh, that's me, Mum.
04:53Obviously.
04:54I knew that.
04:56Good old...
04:58Evan Chowdry.
05:00You know?
05:00Ev's the chowds.
05:03Has he given you his alibi?
05:04Yeah, it's a tricky thing, see?
05:06I was telling Evan that, uh...
05:08I need to check with my alibi that she's happy to speak to the police.
05:12She's a lady friend.
05:13There's a surprise.
05:15Who are you mooching off this time?
05:16I need to speak to her first.
05:19It's the right thing to do.
05:20Yeah, well, I'm so good of you.
05:23Well, off you go then.
05:25That'll be all.
05:27Namaste.
05:28Namaste.
05:30And he seems nice.
05:32Don't...
05:41Very good of you to grace me with your presence.
05:43Ugh, don't start.
05:44I've been mad busy.
05:46Too busy for a conversation?
05:47Yes, I've had about one morning off in the last two weeks and I spent that having a root canal.
05:51Might be a bit weird if I turned up with a national treasure.
05:54Could I call?
05:56Can I get a tea, please?
05:57If you want to chat, you can call one of your other friends or, I don't know, Five Live.
06:02Most of my friends are either dead or cancelled.
06:05Okay, well look, this'll cheer you up.
06:07Murder at an intentional community.
06:09Hmm.
06:11Those interesting places, communes.
06:14Bunch of freeloaders, if you ask me.
06:16Am I to intuit your hostility stems from a Michael Mullowan listed here?
06:22Has Yvonne mentioned his bohemian lifestyle before?
06:25Oi!
06:25Don't ask ma'am about my dad.
06:28He's very sneaky, John Chappell.
06:30If you want to know about me, ask me.
06:32Well, are you and your father...
06:34Not talking about him.
06:34Anyway, most of the residents have an alibi except for three of them.
06:39Min, short for Minerva Maddox.
06:42Impressive namesake.
06:44The Roman goddess of wisdom.
06:45And the teacher in Harry Potter.
06:47My unavailability check for that.
06:49That's years ago, yes.
06:50Some sort of rat.
06:51Have you come to man?
06:53Couldn't make the dates work, anyway.
06:55Then there's Amanda and Omar Sarni.
06:58Sold up and joined the commune about eight months ago.
07:01So I'm thinking some kind of extreme midlife crisis.
07:05What about these two?
07:06Ah.
07:07Lowry and Aled Griffiths run the farm next door.
07:10They were on the commune looking for a fight.
07:13On the morning, the body was found.
07:15She threatened Chief over a boundary dispute.
07:19It's a bit of a slam dunk.
07:20Might as well arrest her now.
07:21No crime of passion was ever committed over a boundary dispute.
07:25You're focusing on the farm, not the commune, because you're avoiding your farm.
07:28Don't be ridiculous.
07:29You certainly seem to be harbouring some form of hostility about him.
07:32Yes.
07:33And with good reason.
07:34He's bad news.
07:35He chews people up and then he spits them out.
07:38So keep his name out your mouth, John Chappell.
07:39Hi.
07:43Yvonne.
07:45John.
07:47Janie.
07:49I like a guy.
07:51In private.
07:54Oh, go ahead.
07:56I don't exist.
07:58I don't exist.
07:58Anyway, evidently.
07:59I didn't know what ma'am think we thought.
08:01Cheese twist, please.
08:02It's about your father.
08:03Oh, yes.
08:04I know.
08:04He's back in town.
08:05Long story, but I'm actually waiting on his alibi for a murder.
08:08Well, that's why I need to speak to you.
08:09He was with me.
08:10Ma'am, what was Dad doing with you between the hours of 8pm and 7am?
08:14What were you...
08:15Oh, no!
08:17You're always saying he's a bone idle moocher.
08:19He is.
08:20That doesn't change the fact he is very gifted in other areas.
08:23Oh!
08:24It's like you're trying to traumatise me.
08:26For goodness sake.
08:28Just living my life, Janie.
08:34Well, I'm not paying for her.
08:36I'm not paying for her.
08:40She is unbelievable.
08:43Yeah, I know.
08:45My side of the bed is very cold.
08:49This is what Dad does.
08:50He ruins people's lives.
08:52Of course it happens.
08:53Women often rebound intensely after the sudden loss of emotional sustenance.
08:58Physical sustenance, too, possibly, Chad.
09:00Can we move on from Ma'am and get on to why you're dressed like Toad of Toad Hall?
09:04This is practical farming wear.
09:07It's a tailor-made costume I acquired from a guest part I played in the original.
09:11All creatures great and small, yes.
09:14Young farmer, Pat Calvert.
09:15He had a car with tuberculosis.
09:18Is it in a bad way?
09:20Veterinary?
09:20Yes, it's considered very moving.
09:22I believe.
09:23I don't know.
09:23I didn't read the reviews.
09:25Lowry Griffiths.
09:27DI Janie Malawan, Mid Wales Police.
09:29This is our consultant, John Chappell.
09:31I know who he is.
09:31His stupid show is on after Countryfile.
09:34What do you want?
09:34We're here to ask some questions about the murder of Sebastian Granger.
09:37Can you stop doing that?
09:39I barely knew him.
09:39And no, I can't.
09:40Farm never sleeps, eh?
09:42Very like being an actor.
09:43I was in the make-up chair.
09:45At 6am.
09:466 is when I take my morning break.
09:47After I've cleaned out the manure pit.
09:50Hi there.
09:50I'm Arlette.
09:52What happened to you?
09:54Oh, gone to a scrap and won the sheep.
09:56They've never taken to me.
10:00Hello.
10:04Sorry.
10:05Sorry.
10:05Hey, Allergy.
10:07Have you ever considered not being a farmer?
10:10Don't talk nonsense.
10:11Allergy will take over when I'm gone.
10:13This farmer's been in the family for generations.
10:16Must be galling for you, then, to get dragged into a turf war with Chief.
10:19Don't talk to me about that pound shop Karl Marx.
10:22Oh, he don't like his politics.
10:24He swanned in here 30 years ago, filled the place with degenerates.
10:28A posh sice with bollock-brained ideas.
10:31When did you last see this bollock-brained sice?
10:35God knows.
10:37We haven't set foot in that place for years.
10:39We've got witnesses that said you were on the commune yesterday morning.
10:42Yeah, she meant a part from yesterday.
10:44Look, they're just pointing the finger at us to hide all the trouble therein.
10:47Trouble?
10:47Mm-hmm.
10:48They've been at each other's throats for weeks, over some big vault.
10:51Oh.
10:52Time for your pills, ma'am.
10:53Okay.
10:57Right.
10:58If that's all, we had three new piglets this morning.
11:01Oh, can I see?
11:02If you want to be up to your knees in blood while I mop up the placenta.
11:09Thought not.
11:13It has to be her.
11:15Maybe she killed Chief and then went back to the commune to pretend like she was looking for him.
11:19The only person bluffing here is you with these flimsy attempts to avoid the commune.
11:24We need to question the residents, including your father.
11:27You just want to go face to face with your sex rival.
11:31Absolutely not, you vulgarian.
11:33Unlike you, I'm not letting my grievances get in the way of investigating a lead.
11:38He said that the commune was up in arms over this vote.
11:42Fine.
11:43Let's go to the sodding commune.
11:45With a bit of luck, we won't even see him.
11:47Very good.
11:52You came back.
11:54Great.
11:55Great.
11:56I know.
11:56Mad concept, isn't it?
11:58Returning to your family, not just vanishing.
12:00Bear cop.
12:01Officer.
12:02I'll come quietly.
12:03Dad, this is...
12:04John Chappell.
12:05Oh, no introduction necessary, John.
12:07First saw you in an experimental production of The Seagull.
12:11Back in...
12:12God, when was it?
12:1296?
12:13You saw that ropey old mess, did you?
12:16All of us barking like dogs every other line.
12:18Oh, experimental theatre.
12:19Don't remind me.
12:21Still.
12:22Very powerful.
12:23So, what are you doing here with Janie?
12:26Mr. Chappell is our consultant.
12:28He's assisting with the investigation into Chief's murder.
12:31Fair to say he did not go gentle into that good night.
12:34Ah!
12:35Dylan Thomas.
12:36Are you a fan?
12:37Who isn't?
12:38Musicality.
12:39A man who can make language sing.
12:41Exactly.
12:42But you know what I've always thought about Dylan Thomas?
12:44No, and we don't want to know because we're conducting a murder investigation.
12:48Can't stop this one, eh?
12:49She's always been like a little terrier.
12:51How would you know what I've always been like?
12:53Come on, we need to talk to the other commune members.
12:56The ones that aren't just obsessed with the sound of their own voices.
13:06Amanda Sarni, Omar Sarni, Detective Inspector Janie Malowan, this is John Chappell.
13:12From Caesar?
13:14Wow, I used to watch you every afternoon.
13:16Used to.
13:17I hope I didn't do anything to get into your bad books.
13:19No, no, there's no TV here.
13:21Which is great.
13:23Yeah, so great.
13:24I understand you found Chief's body that must have been rough, what with the spikes and the, you know, the...
13:30It's actually traumatised me.
13:32This whole business is really shaking her up.
13:34You know, which I was thinking, you know, maybe it's a sign, babe.
13:37Maybe it's a sign that we should go back to Reading.
13:40No, I think I just need to sit with the grief.
13:42I've actually already uploaded one video of me sitting with it.
13:4775,000 views in three hours.
13:49Amanda has her own channel, it's doing really well.
13:51Yeah, I just felt like the universe was telling me there was a gap.
13:55I'm a vegan influencer and also an off-grid influencer and I was like, I can't think of anyone doing
14:00both.
14:03Drawing a blank myself? Yeah, but you seem to have thrown yourself into the community.
14:09I know, total surprise.
14:11I'll be honest.
14:12At first, I really didn't want to come here.
14:14It was Omar's idea.
14:16Clever me.
14:17But now I love it.
14:18I can't imagine living anywhere else.
14:20Same, neither can I.
14:22Although, you know, the thing with Reading, it's so convenient in place.
14:24We've heard there's been some tension here recently.
14:28Oh, you mean the stuff with Min?
14:29Omar.
14:30What?
14:31Yeah.
14:31Come on, babe.
14:32I mean, they were at each other's throats over the boat, you know?
14:35She wanted to upscale the Chief's production.
14:37Chief wasn't in favour of her plan?
14:39Chief was dead against it.
14:41And now...
14:41Just dead?
14:42Yeah, but...
14:44No, come on, that's...
14:45Oh, sorry.
14:46Sorry, I didn't.
14:47Sorry.
14:48Apologies, officers.
14:50Terrible host.
14:51May I tempt you to a tour of the place?
14:54Yes.
14:55No.
14:59What the hell?
15:00We need to be interviewing Min.
15:01Yes, of course, but it could be useful to get under the skin of the Commune.
15:07Oh, fine.
15:08Okay, you punt off with Captain Flakey and I'll do some actual police work.
15:16Very headstrong.
15:17Just like her mother.
15:19Don't know if you know with one.
15:21Uh, we've met.
15:23Yeah.
15:23Yeah?
15:24Chief practically raised me.
15:26Especially after Mum died.
15:28It's not like we fought all the time.
15:30Sometimes Chief was a softie, but at times he could be hard.
15:34It's like cheese.
15:36Sorry.
15:37When I was 18, I went off to uni to study business.
15:40See the big city.
15:42Oh, where'd you go?
15:43Norwich.
15:44Chief said it was a waste of time.
15:46That I'd hate it.
15:48Yeah, but you beloved it.
15:49No, I hated it.
15:51Everyone treated me like a lab experiment because I'd never heard of Harry Styles.
15:55Must have been tough.
15:56Yeah, it was tough.
15:59But do you know what was worse?
16:01Coming back here and have him belittle everything I'd worked for.
16:04My dad can be like that.
16:05And just because I don't drink kefir or want to live in a yurt doesn't mean I'm a slave to
16:09the machine.
16:10See?
16:11Kefir was just one way we could expand our profit margins.
16:14Chief didn't want any of it.
16:17I don't expect you to get it.
16:18No, no.
16:19Well, my dad's Mukti.
16:21Oh.
16:22Okay, so you totally get it.
16:24Yeah.
16:26I've actually got a couple of Dylan Thomas first editions in my collection.
16:30You collect books?
16:31Yeah.
16:32Oh, John, of course you do.
16:34Well, that's the one downside of this place.
16:37Too much work, not enough time to enjoy literature, art.
16:42Shouldn't those seeds be noted too?
16:45How can I provide it?
16:46I guess I'm finding grief isn't a straight line, but it comes more in waves.
16:50Don't forget to like and subscribe.
16:52Tomorrow I'll be posting a recipe of pulled jackfruit.
16:58Namaste.
16:58Good day.
16:59Amanda seems to be exempt from having to do too much work though.
17:03Yeah.
17:03Chief's favourite.
17:05Said her social media channel was her work.
17:08I think there's more to it.
17:10I don't know about that, but yeah, she got special treatment.
17:14Once a week she'd be allowed off her duties to drive Chief into the local town.
17:18They'd be gone for hours.
17:20Oh!
17:21Nocty, do you think you could give me a hand on loading the van?
17:24Because we just picked up a fresh load of chicken feed and it's actually really quite...
17:27Just showing the police consultant round, yeah?
17:30Sorry.
17:30Sorry.
17:31Yeah, sure.
17:33She's fine.
17:34She's fine.
17:34Come on, Zach, that's quite...
17:37My mum brought me here when I was a kid.
17:40This was her dream too.
17:42Look, no offence, but why are you even talking to me?
17:46You should be arresting that mad old bag who runs the farm.
17:48Lowry's got an alibi.
17:50What, her lying son?
17:52Mm.
17:52She's always had it in for Chief.
17:54The boundary hasn't moved for 30 years, it's just another excuse for her to kick off.
17:58A few weeks ago she attacked him with a rake.
18:01Mm.
18:02Well, that is interesting.
18:05Yeah, I'm gonna need some more of it, so...
18:08I just hate that.
18:10I know.
18:12And that is our little collective.
18:14That is an extraordinary place.
18:16It's just...
18:17I don't suppose it's anywhere I could use the facilities, is it?
18:20Oh, it's just for you.
18:21Oh!
18:22Oh, yeah.
18:23It seems to be a bit of a queue.
18:26Yeah.
18:27Yeah, that's what happens when there's one toilet to 20 people, and every flippin' meal
18:30is beans or pulses.
18:32It's like...
18:33You don't mind me asking, Omar, but, um...
18:35Why are you here?
18:38Because I need a poo.
18:40Yeah, no, I mean, in the commune, uh...
18:43Oh, generally.
18:46I love it here.
18:47You know, it's, uh...
18:49It's home now.
18:50Oh, yeah.
18:51You wouldn't know yesterday's football scores, would you?
18:53Afraid not.
18:54No, do you, um...
18:55No phones allowed, you see.
18:57Oh.
18:57No internet.
18:58How does Amanda run her channel, then?
19:01She's never off the phone.
19:03Well...
19:04Yeah, it's a bit different for her, because it's for the good of the commune.
19:08So, she gets to keep her phone.
19:10Um, she uses the Wi-Fi from chief's office, so...
19:12Mmm.
19:13Some of us are more equal than others, then.
19:16Oh, well.
19:18Now there's an author we could run over the cult.
19:21There's a great little bookshop in the town, do you know it?
19:24I know it well.
19:25Absolute treasure trove.
19:26Come on.
19:27What now?
19:28No, I shouldn't.
19:29I've got...
19:29John!
19:30No, all right.
19:31I suppose...
19:40Where'd you get to?
19:41I got a lift with Michael.
19:43I told you I didn't want you hanging around with him.
19:45You want me hanging around?
19:47You want me to make me sound like a teenager.
19:49Meeting the smokers behind the bike sheds.
19:51That's what he does.
19:52He reels people in.
19:53I made the best choice for our investigation.
19:55You'd see that if you weren't so blinded by your old resentments.
19:59Do you want a biscuit?
20:01Well, I've left you the Bourbons.
20:05I'm taking this as an apology.
20:07It's not.
20:08Anyway, get this.
20:09This isn't the first time Chief has ended up on the wrong side of some farming equipment.
20:13Lowry attacked him with a rake last month.
20:16Neat.
20:17But not compelling.
20:18I'm not feeling it.
20:19I'm not feeling it?
20:20Sorry that my very compelling evidence against our top suspect isn't getting your juices flowing.
20:26Lowry hated Chief for 30 years.
20:28Why kill him now?
20:30I don't know.
20:31Bad day.
20:32Maybe she stepped on some Lego or something.
20:34No.
20:35My antennae are twitching towards the commune.
20:39And Amanda.
20:41She's the only person on our list that doesn't have a clear motive.
20:44Chief didn't allow phones or Wi-Fi.
20:47So why bend the rules for her?
20:48Well, same reason people always bend the rules for people like her.
20:51She's fit.
20:52See?
20:53Even you're perving on her.
20:54Don't be preposterous.
20:56I'm analysing her social media for pertinent information.
20:59Look!
20:59If you have solar, you can use a blender.
21:03But I like to just go back to how it would have traditionally been done.
21:06With a pestle and mortar.
21:07Just get a Nutribullet, you freak.
21:09I thought her videos would hint at her real relationship with Chief.
21:13He's not in a single one.
21:16But look who is.
21:18Aled.
21:19Your ma'am said you hadn't been on the commune for years.
21:22So why were you sneaking around there eleven days ago?
21:24I can't tell you.
21:25You realise you've lied to a police officer during a murder investigation?
21:29Aren't you scared I could arrest you?
21:31I'm not scared of me. I'm finding out, to be honest.
21:34Find.
21:35I've seen men.
21:38No smartphones, so this is the only photo she could give me.
21:41We haven't seen each other for a year now.
21:43If it wasn't for ma'am, I'd be showing her from the rooftops.
21:45Your ma'am who recently assaulted the victim, you kept that one quiet as well.
21:48Why didn't Chief press charges?
21:51All the bad blood.
21:52You think he jumped at the chance?
21:54We had to beg him.
21:55Told him about the problems we've been having.
21:57We've been losing money hand over fist.
21:59It's not sustainable.
22:00And with ma'am getting on.
22:01Well she seemed to think that you'd be taking over.
22:03Look at me.
22:05I'd run it into the ground in a week.
22:06Oh.
22:07I'm just waiting to turn it into a glam site.
22:09Alan!
22:10Come on!
22:11My name's Sir Spardy!
22:14Excuse me.
22:15Gotta go castrate some rams.
22:19How the hell did he get Chief to drop the charges?
22:22And even answer back to his own mother?
22:24It's hard to believe.
22:25And so is the story of the farm hemorrhaging money when they've got a brand new feeding system and a
22:30new shiny tractor.
22:31Yes.
22:34Chowdhury?
22:35Yeah, got some more homework for you.
22:37I need you to do some digging into the farm's financials, see if you can turn anything up.
22:42Laters.
22:44PM's in.
22:45Shall I drop you off on my way in?
22:46No, I think I might stay out here for a while.
22:50I'm really starting to appreciate these big skies.
22:59It's been such an emotional time for us all.
23:02You must miss Chief terribly.
23:04I put on a brave face for my followers.
23:07Really, it's Min I worry about.
23:09She's lost the closest thing she had to her dad the same way she lost her mum.
23:13Not literally the same way her mum died of heart failure.
23:16She wasn't impaled by a horse plough.
23:18Well, so you've taken Min under your wing, so to speak.
23:25Min's so young, but she knows exactly what she wants out of life.
23:29And do you?
23:31Oh, yeah.
23:33I've got everything I need here, you know.
23:35And Omar loves it too, and he gave up so much to join.
23:38You and Chief were close, weren't you?
23:41Weekly trips into town.
23:42Oh, that was nothing. Just shopping.
23:45Chief didn't have much of an eye for fashion.
23:48He wanted a woman's opinion.
23:50He thought I heard the voice of a renaissance man.
23:54John!
23:55Oh!
23:58What, no genie?
24:00Is she off hassling some Extinction Rebellion protesters, I suppose?
24:03No, Michael, no.
24:05Not Mukti.
24:08She's committed to her job, you know.
24:11Actually very good at it.
24:12Of course.
24:13Of course.
24:14So, what brings you here?
24:16Well, actually, I've come to drop something off for you.
24:22Yeah, uh...
24:2525th poem.
24:26Yes.
24:27Well, I thought you might enjoy it as a Dylan Thomas connoisseur.
24:31Brother.
24:32This is wow.
24:33No, it's actually her first edition.
24:35Oh!
24:37Well, I don't really ought to get going, actually.
24:40No, what are you talking about?
24:41We can't leave poems like these on the page.
24:44We've got to get out there.
24:46Blast them into the air.
24:48What now?
24:50Bit mad, innit?
24:51There is only today.
24:55What the hell?
24:58Injuries are all in line with what you'd expect.
25:01But there are a couple of interesting things.
25:03First, I'll say this for vegans.
25:05They always have a lovely bowel.
25:07You're not sure that's going to help me crack the case?
25:08No.
25:09Second, he had cancer.
25:11So he was already dying?
25:12No, not necessarily.
25:14It's not so far advanced that he couldn't recover with the right treatment.
25:17We got a third?
25:18No.
25:19Damn.
25:19I was really hoping we'd have more than that.
25:21Could do with wrapping this up quick.
25:23Oh, things not going great with your dad.
25:25There must be so many parents that would love it if their kid became a police officer.
25:28Why do I get the one that would prefer it if I was making protest art out of macaroni?
25:31Anyway, ignore your dad.
25:33No, you love being a detective.
25:36Yeah.
25:38Oh, I'm a low one.
25:40Glad I caught you.
25:41Just put a fresh batch of case reports on your desk.
25:43Need signing off.
25:44Now?
25:45Any time between now and...
25:46Yeah, actually now.
25:47Great.
25:48Well, I'll just solve murders in between forms.
25:50Cracking.
25:51Oh, how's it going with the old commune murder?
25:54Er, getting there.
25:55Just a few distractions.
25:57Hmm.
25:58I did hear your father was involved.
26:00You're not worried he's linked to the murder?
26:01No, I wish.
26:02A spell inside might finally teach him some responsibility.
26:05Did I ever tell you about my old man?
26:07Gary Clark.
26:08No longer with us.
26:09We didn't speak for years.
26:11Er, what happened?
26:13Big argument.
26:14About the best route from Patalbot to Brecon.
26:16I said 8465, 8470.
26:17He said 84067 up towards Senny Bridge.
26:20Right.
26:20What's your point, sir?
26:22The point is we lost touch.
26:24He was a great man.
26:26But he never knew how I felt.
26:29Because of my pride.
26:30We don't always have as long as we think.
26:35So, what about M4, then A470?
26:39To Brecon.
26:41I'd want to get there the same day.
26:43I'd have enjoyed that.
26:47There you are, Mum.
26:47What now?
26:49What is it you would like to talk to me about is my question.
26:54Er, I've been doing some digging into the farm financials like you asked.
26:58They weren't lying about going broke.
27:00The real question is how they didn't fold months ago.
27:02I knew there was something dodgy going on.
27:04Yes, but the real news is the commune.
27:06Up until June, they had thousands in their account.
27:08In the last few months, Chiefs practically spent all of it.
27:11On what?
27:12When we searched his room, it was just dust and weed.
27:15Great work, Evan.
27:16No, sorry.
27:18It's too weird.
27:18You're Chowdhury.
27:20No more lift its head to the blows of the rain.
27:25Though they be mad and dead as nails.
27:29Head to the characters.
27:30Hammer through the daisies.
27:33Break in the sun.
27:35The sun breaks down and death shall have no dominion.
27:45What a performance.
27:47Oh, can I do it?
27:48What?
27:48Come on, that was all right, I suppose.
27:50You've a poet's soul, John Chappell.
27:53Care to please her up?
27:55No, he doesn't.
27:56And that better be tobacco.
27:57Of course, officer.
27:59Oh.
28:00John and I, we were just...
28:01Titted about, yes.
28:02I noticed.
28:03Why don't you join us?
28:05Give us a song.
28:06Should have heard her tiny Tim in the Year 5 Christmas Carol.
28:09Yes, you should have.
28:10But you didn't.
28:11You forgot.
28:11And you had to hear about it from ma'am instead.
28:14Moctis invited me to an arts festival this Saturday.
28:17Wants to introduce me to a few of his friends.
28:19Just my own little coderys.
28:21Some poets, sculptors.
28:23Oh, and one very challenging mime.
28:26I need to have a word with Dad alone.
28:28Yeah, I will, but...
28:29Can you, just for once, go without saying anything, John Chappell?
28:38What have I done?
28:39Nothing as per usual.
28:41I didn't think you'd want to join us.
28:42The way you've been acting.
28:44We've barely spent any time together.
28:46Because I've been trying to solve a murder.
28:49Not that you care.
28:50You hardly know anything about me or my life.
28:53You're not even interested in John because he's my friend.
28:55You just want to add him to your collection of artsy-fartsy acquaintances.
28:59You know I'm drawn to new energy.
29:02And you need to accept that some people prefer to live outside the narrow boxes that society creates.
29:09Well then, some people shouldn't be parents.
29:13Well, I'm terribly sorry if my instinct to create and nurture life makes me a terrible person.
29:32This is just what he does.
29:33He swoops in, you have a great time, you're packing your back for Oakwood theme park, and then suddenly...
29:37Mam's taking you out for a Sunday because he's disappeared again.
29:40He might have changed.
29:42Okay, fine.
29:43Well, while you've been busy falling under his spell, I've been driving this investigation.
29:47Chief has secretly drained the commune's accounts.
29:50I've got Chowdhury checking with a bag to see if anyone else here knew about it.
29:54That's him.
29:57Well, well, well.
29:59Look who's counter-signatory.
30:05Okay, let's recap.
30:07You found out about the missing money, you killed Chief, and then you tried to bribe an officer of the
30:12law with cheese to cover your tracks.
30:14That last one's not going in the official charge sheet.
30:16I didn't kill Chief.
30:19Who murdered someone over money?
30:21Loads of people.
30:22We argued.
30:23That's all.
30:23I don't believe you.
30:24Touch wood, my dad hasn't embezzled my life savings, but I still want to kill him sometimes.
30:29Chief wasn't my dad.
30:30He was the closest thing you had.
30:32You thought he was finally taking you seriously, but he was just watching you pour your heart and soul into
30:37something he knew would never happen.
30:40I was angry.
30:41I'd worked so hard.
30:44But when he told me where the money went, private hospital treatment for his cancer, I couldn't exactly carry on
30:50yelling at him, could I?
30:54I didn't know what to do.
30:56I felt ashamed.
30:58I said some horrible things, so...
31:01I left.
31:03Did you tell anyone else?
31:06Aled?
31:07I don't speak to Aled.
31:08Okay, drop the act.
31:09We all know you two were in a secret relationship.
31:12We were in a secret relationship.
31:14Until his mum found out I made him pick.
31:16Her.
31:17Or me.
31:18I suppose it's a no-brainer really.
31:20She owns a gun and castrates things on a daily basis.
31:23Yeah, I fear.
31:24Were you two still together when this video was taken?
31:30That's Mandy's birthday.
31:32We broke up the week before, so whatever he's up to there, it's nothing to do with me.
31:39Men's love of the commune is at the core of her character.
31:42The passion is there, but the motive is it's all wrong.
31:45A woman that idealistic wouldn't kill over money.
31:48But it's not just about the money.
31:50It's about him not believing in her.
31:52Yeah, something she's dealt with her entire life without impaling anyone.
31:55No, the real question is why Aled was sneaking onto the commune.
32:02Do you think men were lying about the break-up?
32:04No.
32:05I watch a lot of Love is Blind and she had the same energy as one of the ones that
32:08don't go to Mexico.
32:09Forbidden love.
32:11It's all very Capulet and Montague, isn't it?
32:15Yes.
32:17Yes, the grudge festering on over the years.
32:22Heartbreak. Hatred.
32:24Does it answer the central question though?
32:27It has to be men.
32:28Her father figure completely betrayed her.
32:31Some people can't keep a lid on their parental resentments, you know.
32:33Is that supposed to be aimed at me?
32:35Well, I've spent some time with Michael now.
32:37He's hardly the monster that you paint a picture of.
32:40That's just what he does.
32:42He gaslights people into thinking he's great, then he runs away.
32:45Unreliable, perhaps, yeah, but he's not malevolent.
32:48He's an innocent.
32:50He's useless.
32:51I needed a dad.
32:58I'm sure you did, yeah.
33:01And I'm sorry.
33:04But look at you now, you're a grown woman.
33:07You've got a successful career and your own place.
33:09Which you haven't set foot in.
33:11Even though I bought a plant and made it all homely.
33:13Yeah, look, you don't need Michael in your life anymore.
33:18But if you give him a chance,
33:22you might find you want him in it.
33:26I've tried too many times.
33:29He just always lets me down.
33:32He's a classic dad.
33:34Everything's always about him.
33:37Never mind his family or anybody else.
33:41That's it.
33:44I know who killed Chief.
33:47I know who killed Chief.
33:55Sorry.
33:56Always wanted to do that.
33:57Carry on.
34:00Wait, is this going to take long?
34:02Because I can't see why me and my son need to be dragged into the sordid affairs of these tax
34:07dodgers.
34:07It's a bit late for either of you to be worrying about that, isn't it?
34:11Aled.
34:12I couldn't work out why a big scaredy cat like you would risk sneaking onto the commune
34:17and getting caught by your mom unless it was to see men.
34:22He wishes.
34:23Then I remembered about your money troubles.
34:25How are you keeping the farm afloat?
34:30Turns out there is a type of farming you are good at.
34:34Cannabis.
34:34This is how you got Chief to drop the charges against Lowry.
34:39By becoming his personal supplier.
34:41Aled's not a drug dealer.
34:43He faints if he has to give the antibiotics to the sheep.
34:45Tell him.
34:46I don't even grow up myself.
34:48I just let some blocs from the village rent the barn, that's all.
34:51My own son.
34:54Teada Gelweth.
34:55But you've been lying too.
34:57Haven't you, Lowry?
34:58I don't know what you're talking about.
35:00But I first noticed when you said Caesar,
35:02Caesar was one after Countryfile.
35:04Well, that's not been the case.
35:05It's the mid-noughties.
35:06It was Countryfile, then Caesar, then Attenborough.
35:09It made sense for the sort of audiences to be attracted.
35:11Very A1, B1, sometimes the C2.
35:14Yeah, John, just, they don't care.
35:16This was the first clue of many.
35:19Insisting that the commune was on the wrong side of a boundary line that was set 30 years ago.
35:26Bossing your son around and him reminding you to take your meds.
35:29And when you said that you hadn't set foot in the commune for years, you were lying.
35:35You just didn't remember.
35:38They say it's dementia.
35:40A lot of fuss over nothing, if you ask me.
35:42Is it?
35:43For 30 years you've hated, Chief.
35:46It's only the last few months your behaviour has escalated.
35:50You're not as in control as you think you are.
35:53Are you saying it was me?
35:56Because that would be Sod's law.
35:58If I killed him, I'd certainly like the pleasure of remembering it.
36:02Mama.
36:03It wasn't it.
36:04We know.
36:04It all came together when we found out why Chief had drained the commune accounts.
36:09To pay for his cancer treatment.
36:12That's why he relaxed the rules for you, Amanda.
36:14He wanted someone to drive him to the hospital.
36:17Someone who would agree not to talk about his illness.
36:23Yeah, okay. I drove him to his appointments.
36:26And you got something out of it for yourself.
36:29Secret visits to a place you didn't want anyone to know about.
36:35Please don't, because this won't kill my brand.
36:38The carvery.
36:39Four meats and bottomless gravy.
36:42$8.99.
36:43Amanda!
36:43Babe!
36:44Tell the truth, Amanda.
36:46You're gonna pay for the best.
36:51Those pigs and blankets were the highlight of my week.
36:53I hate being a vegan.
36:55I hate being an influencer.
36:58I hate this place.
37:00I'm only here because Omar loves it.
37:03Sorry.
37:04I'm only here because I thought you loved this place.
37:06I hate this place.
37:07I hate the food.
37:08I hate the routine.
37:09I hate the people.
37:09No offence.
37:11Can we go home?
37:12Can we eat normal food?
37:13Yeah.
37:13We can watch TV and have a proper flushing toilet at the internet.
37:17Yes.
37:17Yes.
37:18Okay.
37:19Why didn't Chief just tell us he was ill?
37:21Because he didn't want one of you to know.
37:25It started just like you said.
37:27You confronted Chief.
37:29He admitted how he'd spent the money, but it didn't end there.
37:33It was the cancer treatment that was the last straw.
37:36The one selfishness you couldn't forgive.
37:39Not after your mother.
37:42She had a chance to be saved.
37:45A heart transplant in America.
37:47She said it was impossible.
37:49It was too expensive.
37:53I had to watch her die and there was nothing I could do.
37:56And then he gets ill and suddenly it's the best treatment that money can buy.
38:00He treated you like his own daughter.
38:02He treated me like shit.
38:05All of us.
38:06This was his own little kingdom where he was the only one that mattered.
38:11He would have destroyed this place.
38:14Minerva Maddox, I'm arresting you for the murder of Sebastian Granger.
38:18Chief's name was Sebastian?
38:21Yeah.
38:22I imagine this land is yours now.
38:25If you'd be prepared to take a DNA test.
38:28You are.
38:29Ma'am, have you been shot at that?
38:32The hatred that fierce could only grow from a love-turned-sour.
38:37Chief without his father, wasn't he?
38:40Father.
38:41I've done bulls with a bigger sense of responsibility.
38:45He turned his back on both of us.
38:48You got the last laugh though.
38:49With Chief gone, the commune land is yours.
38:52No.
38:53You can't take it.
38:54It belongs to all of us.
38:55Yeah, that is nice, but legally it's rubbish.
38:59So we're going to close?
38:59Al, your financial troubles are solved, but on the downside I am going to have to arrest you for the
39:05cultivation of a Class B drug.
39:08Yeah.
39:08Now, this is a little bit awkward, but you two are going to have to share a lift down to
39:12the station.
39:13Is Radio One alright?
39:17So, how was the arts festival?
39:21There was no arts festival and there was no fellow group of artists.
39:27Your father didn't show up.
39:30I'm sorry.
39:33I did warn you.
39:34Knock, knock, knock.
39:38There can't be.
39:47Michael!
39:48You appear to be late to pick me up by some 42 hours roads.
39:53Busy, were they?
39:54Sorry about that, John.
39:55Actually, I'm looking for her.
39:57Oh, there she is.
39:58Great!
40:00I just wanted to...
40:04Yeah, I've been thinking a lot about what you said.
40:07Not thinking a lot about returning my first edition, by the looks of it.
40:11Can you give us a minute?
40:20You see, I thought you being spiky with me, that was just...
40:24That was our thing.
40:26Never occurred to me that you were hurting.
40:27No, I know it didn't.
40:29Not much does occur to you.
40:32You're right.
40:34But it's just that...
40:35See, you and your mom always seem to have everything down.
40:40I thought, you don't need me.
40:42I'm sorry.
40:45But I want things to be different.
40:46I want to get to know my Janie Bach properly.
40:50I was wondering if you're not too busy.
40:55If we might go for an ice cream.
40:59And...
41:00Well, me and John are in the middle of something right now, so...
41:03You should go.
41:06I've got things to do anyway.
41:08Alan will be here in a minute.
41:09You know he gets antsy when guests are here, so...
41:13Yeah.
41:15All right.
41:17If you don't mind.
41:19Okay.
41:29So...
41:30How much ice cream does it take to make up for 30 years of being rubbish?
41:34A lot.
41:36Mr. Whippy won't cut it then.
41:37No chance.
41:38We're talking gelato.
41:40Waffle cones minimum.
41:41Oh!
