00:04Cariavedo Castle, 1296, the turbulent epicenter of butting tensions between an ambitious England
00:13with its sights set on these hills and the fierce whales determined to fight them. Tensions
00:21that led to war. The bloody battle lasted 14 days. The Welsh, having repelled the English, faced an even
00:34greater foe. Fire. The great fire of 1296 destroyed the town of Cariavedo and reached the castle walls,
00:45but the castle stood firm and still stands to this day.
00:58Eddie! Home time!
00:59Edsy! I'll nick you car if you don't come out!
01:02Eddie!
01:02Can't we just leave him, Harold?
01:04No, I have to sign you all out. Rules are rules.
01:08Typical Eddie. He's gone AWOL to ruin my heart date, but it won't work.
01:11The stuff I've been texting this bloke, he'll wait.
01:14I really think, with my status, I should be exempt from any rules.
01:17I've been on question time, for God's sake.
01:20Yeah, me too. This is affecting my mental health.
01:23Find him!
01:23Right. Keep him there, because I'm gonna kill him.
01:27I don't think you need to.
01:29Wait, wait, what?
01:31There's nothing that's going on.
01:34Over here.
01:38Eddie!
01:39Oh my God!
01:40Eddie!
01:44What a mess.
01:45All this because of a rave.
01:47Must have been a hell of a rave.
01:49Wasn't a rave for our victim, though.
01:51Wasn't a rave at all.
01:52I'll stop saying rave.
01:54It's a good one, though.
01:55Off our old school acid house.
01:57Poor local fold vibe.
02:00So I heard.
02:00So that's where you were on Saturday night.
02:03I thought we were gonna have a Cluedo marathon.
02:05If you staying in my spare room's gonna work out, the words Cluedo and marathon are never happening together.
02:08All right.
02:09Backstop.
02:11Malawan.
02:12Carvedo Castle.
02:13Had some great days out with the girls here.
02:16First place my Kaylee ever said she wished she was adopted.
02:20Afternoon, DI Malawan.
02:22Ma'am.
02:22Whoa.
02:23You don't have to call me ma'am.
02:24I might be a DI now, but I'm still regular old J-dog.
02:29No.
02:29No offence, but you can't pull off being a J-dog.
02:31I think I can.
02:32So, who've we got?
02:33Oh, Eddie Morris.
02:35Owner of a local car dealership.
02:37He was here doing community service.
02:39Suicide?
02:40Most likely a fall or push.
02:42One or more till the PM.
02:42What was he doing on the top of the castle tower when he should be down here clearing the rubbish?
02:48Can I answer that?
02:49His phone was found up there.
02:50Must have gone up to get signal.
02:51Well, fingers crossed for an open and shut fall because we got the pub quiz tonight.
02:55You coming?
02:56Not with this and the three foot pile of reports on my desk.
02:59That's the greasy pole Malawan.
03:01The more you climb it, the harder you work.
03:02Take it from me, I've had a lifetime climbing the pole.
03:06Then how come you got time to go to pub quizzes?
03:09Because I'm right at the top of the greasy pole.
03:12Where it's no longer greasy.
03:14In fact, it's sticky at the top of the greasy pole.
03:17It's a bit between the top and the bottom that's greasy and hard.
03:21Alright?
03:23I'll go back to the station.
03:26How'd you get on with the witnesses?
03:28Mixbag.
03:28The big bloke Warren.
03:29He doesn't say much and he really scares me and he's still staring at me.
03:34Yeah, yeah.
03:35He's really staring at you.
03:37Now, I need you to find out why Eddie Morris was doing community service.
03:41I already know that.
03:42I was the arresting officer.
03:43Public order offence.
03:44Eddie and his ex-wife Sally.
03:47That's her sitting down over there.
03:49They vandalised each other's houses.
03:50Press charges for criminal damage on each other rather than back down.
03:54Well, find out her movements.
03:56On it, ma'am. J-dog, ma'am.
04:00Prominent community figure.
04:02Mm.
04:04People like that accumulate enemies on the way to the top.
04:07Yes, gentlemen.
04:09Do you understand?
04:09Maybe.
04:10So does that mean you do or you don't want shepherd's pie tonight?
04:13I do.
04:15It's Cariavedo Castle.
04:17I did a little promotional video for them once.
04:20Yeah.
04:20The result was considered groundbreaking.
04:23So I believe.
04:24You know.
04:25I used to take Janie there when she was little.
04:28Oh, yeah.
04:29Why don't we ask her round for dinner tonight?
04:31That's a good idea.
04:33You'd be wasting your breath, of course.
04:34She'll say no.
04:36You can't keep ignoring her, Mother.
04:37Well, I think you're underestimating the depths of her pig-headedness.
04:41Well, her determination.
04:44Sorry.
04:46It is you, isn't it?
04:48Caesar.
04:49John Chappell.
04:50Caesar's the name of the character.
04:51I didn't recognize you with that goatee.
04:54Oh, it does lend the jawline, I suppose, a certain strength.
04:58Yes, it gives you a chin.
05:04Oh, you'd better run.
05:05I knew you were going to be late for Linda.
05:10Oh, you got my muffin wrong.
05:13No.
05:13No, that was me.
05:14I know you wanted the blueberry, but I got you the brown one.
05:17Because deep down, from a truly character point of view,
05:19you know you'd regret the blueberry one.
05:22All right.
05:23Bye-bye.
05:23Now, text me, won't you, when you get to Linda's.
05:27You let me know you're safe for me.
05:31Oh.
05:33Well, well, well.
05:35I thought you might need my help.
05:38I don't need his help.
05:39If you're right and this is a murder, we should have our official consultant help in.
05:44Well, I thought you couldn't stand him.
05:46I can't.
05:47That thing he does when you can't tell if he's talking to you or himself, like an Uber driver.
05:51Very annoying.
05:52Oh, thank you.
05:54Then how come you've changed your tune?
05:56Because my boss thinks it's a good idea.
05:58Look, part of being senior is if you think your boss's ideas are good ideas,
06:04you've got this wonderful thing called a quiet life.
06:06But I can't work with him.
06:08It's been three months.
06:09Can't you two patch things up?
06:10He crossed a line.
06:12How would you feel if he was sleeping with your mum?
06:14I'd be mortified.
06:15She'd be dead since 2015.
06:17Why would you even suggest that?
06:19Can you give us a minute, please, Mr. Chappell?
06:21Certainly, Chief Inspector.
06:24I'm supposed to be in charge now.
06:25Let me lead this my way.
06:27Yes, you're in charge.
06:29But we still haven't filled your DS role, so we're short here.
06:32He's helped us a lot in the past, so suck up the order.
06:36Greasy Paul.
06:39That'll be all.
06:42Not bad, my dear Chowdhury.
06:44Don't get too close, Chowdhury.
06:45He'll only shag you, ma'am.
06:47Oh, how I've missed that rapier wit.
06:50Glad you're here, ma'am.
06:51We've had forensics back on Eddie Morris' phone.
06:53There were no fingerprints on it.
06:55Not even Eddie's.
06:56Someone must have wiped it to cover their tracks.
06:59It has to be murder.
07:00This is huge.
07:01Mildly interesting at best, typical.
07:04Focusing on curious objects.
07:05Ignoring motives.
07:07One other interesting thing about Eddie's phone.
07:09He shouldn't have had it on him.
07:10The grouper only allowed them at lunch.
07:12We took it because they urgently needed to get in contact with somebody.
07:14Possibly, Chowdhury.
07:15Possibly.
07:16Chowdhury, get onto his phone provider.
07:18See if we can find out who his last call was to.
07:20Will do.
07:21Oh, Eddie's bank accounts show he had big money troubles.
07:24Apparently he was stolen on the divorce.
07:26Now Sally gets everything.
07:28And the house.
07:29Right.
07:30Well, how's that for a pretty big motive?
07:33No.
07:34Sally wouldn't kill Eddie.
07:36Completely out of character.
07:37Look at the arrests.
07:38Both could have easily have backed down from their war.
07:40It would have saved them the indignity of criminal charges.
07:43But no, they carried on.
07:44Because they needed their arguments.
07:46They needed each other.
07:47It would take more than money for Sally to kill her soulmate.
07:50Yeah.
07:51Well, maybe he bonked her mum.
07:53Oh no, you're just being childish, aren't you?
07:56No, we could talk about this, but no, no, that's not your style.
07:58If it wasn't Sally, then who was it?
08:00How do I know?
08:01I need to find out more about the group members.
08:03What drives them?
08:04Their secrets, their motives, their attignations.
08:09Chowdhury?
08:09Hmm?
08:10Get on to probation and the super.
08:12See if we can get Mr. Chappell signed up to the community payback group.
08:16Do what?
08:17If it gets you closer to the group and out of my hair, win-win.
08:20Playing a criminal?
08:22Hmm.
08:22It's against type.
08:23It's often a big plus.
08:25Might be a chance to revisit the physiological intricacies that I applied to my revelatory
08:31tartuffe at the Armada.
08:33Shave the goatee first.
08:34You want to look dodged, but not that kind of dodge.
08:36Good note.
08:37Right.
08:37I'm off.
08:39And tell ma'am I'm not coming for dinner.
08:41Lonely taste of betrayal.
08:44A shepherd's pie?
08:46Great.
08:47Now you've taken ma'am's shepherd's pie from me, too.
08:57Well, I'm not proud of my actions.
08:59Defacing a speed camera.
09:01What motivated me?
09:02Well, I've still had enough of living in this surveillance culture.
09:05Yeah, didn't ask, mate.
09:06Quite right.
09:07Yes, man cannot be observed 24-7 by a faceless state.
09:11We live in the free world, are we not a panopticon?
09:13Right.
09:14I understood about half of that.
09:15Here's your tabard, love.
09:17Now, before we start, I want to give everyone another chance to own up about what happened.
09:22Oh, Edsy.
09:23He fell, didn't he?
09:24No.
09:25My missing mug.
09:26If it's on that table, by the end of the day, there'll be no questions asked.
09:31It has sentimental value.
09:33Sorry, sorry, car trouble.
09:34Car's just think of arses.
09:36There is still an unpleasant smell.
09:37Yes, Liam.
09:39I spent all morning trying to get to the bottom of it.
09:40I'm stumped.
09:42I can nick you a new one if you want.
09:43No, you can't, Liam.
09:44And it's lucky you're not 30 seconds later, Angela, or there'll be a red sticker.
09:48Would have broken our perfect streak.
09:50Red sticker?
09:52Attendance chart.
09:53I used to use them in teaching.
09:55Right.
09:56We best get going if we're going to have this place up and running for half term.
10:01Here.
10:01Hey, John Chappell.
10:02Yeah, I don't know.
10:02You fancy buddying up?
10:05No.
10:06Right.
10:06Well, we could just chat then.
10:09No.
10:10No?
10:10All right, great.
10:11Well, thanks for the talk.
10:12It was illuminating.
10:14Oh, I wouldn't get on the wrong side of Wazza.
10:16I heard he's in here for killing a book.
10:18Community service for murder?
10:21Oh, yeah.
10:21No, it weren't true.
10:22We got done for shoplifting.
10:23But still, this rumor's going out and killed someone.
10:25You must be nails.
10:27Oh, well, good to know that.
10:30Liam, you famous, aren't you?
10:32Well, I spent some time with the public eye, yeah.
10:35That's who you live.
10:37You've got to humor me for a second.
10:38Do you say you're more familiar with me as a theater actor or film and TV star?
10:43No, I recognize you from your dead video.
10:45Just been doing our ads in.
10:47I'm actually surprised that you came in today.
10:50I heard there was a death?
10:52Yeah, they made us come in.
10:54Proper shock us all up, though.
10:55Especially Ange.
10:57Really?
10:57Yeah.
10:58She wanted to do a run.
10:59Get out here for the feds, don't you?
11:01Well, that's interesting.
11:03Oh, no, no.
11:04This is actually a good bit, then.
11:08Oh, no, we haven't got time for this for me, no.
11:11And farewell, King.
11:18Oh, careful.
11:19You're splashing Red Bull on my Jimmy Choo's.
11:21Oh, my apologies.
11:22I'm so just new to all this.
11:25I was hoping we might pair up.
11:28Angela Vaughan, MS for South Camarland.
11:31Oh, I'm well aware of your reputation, Minister.
11:35I know it's an honor to meet you, truly.
11:36It's an honor.
11:37It's good to have someone else here that's in the public eye.
11:39Well, I only hope we haven't fallen too far from grace.
11:44Aren't you here because you've crashed your car into a holiday home?
11:50Only the front wall.
11:51It was a protest.
11:53You know, those rentals are stopping decent local people from living in their own communities.
11:59And I thought, well, if they can destroy local Welsh communities, I can destroy their retaining walls.
12:06Hmm.
12:06That was quite good to remember that for the news at six.
12:09Well, that's made you quite a local hero.
12:11Well, I'm only here to do my time.
12:14It has been quite good for me, you know, to actually get to know some real salt-of-the-earth
12:20people.
12:21If we're still salt-of-the-earth, how come you won't stab this in your first week?
12:24It was a reinforced thermal gilet.
12:27Right.
12:29I only hope you don't get caught up in the scandal of this death yesterday.
12:35Hardly knew, Eddie.
12:37How come you kept talking about your body all the time, eh?
12:39Wank!
12:41My body work!
12:44Eddie had his mechanics repair the body work of my car after the crash. That's all.
12:49Right.
12:51If there was a scandal about the whole affair, Eddie and young Liam kept going off together.
12:59Very odd.
13:01Hmm.
13:05Ciao, Caesar.
13:06Kindly spare me the person who has encountered a choice.
13:09Can I turn this off?
13:11Yeah, I only had it on because I was waiting for Downton.
13:14So, what do you want to know?
13:16Well, I'm just following up on your husband's death.
13:19Oh, you've left the tea bag in.
13:22Sorry. This must be a very difficult time for you.
13:26They've given me leave from community service. Compassionate grounds.
13:30I was thinking I might go to Alicante. Process the grief there's some good deals on.
13:35Alicante, you can't go swanning off to Portugal.
13:38Spain.
13:38I was going to say Spain.
13:40No, this is a suspicious death. You can't leave town.
13:44Typical bloody Eddie.
13:45Ruining my plans even when he's dead.
13:47George!
13:49Sorry.
13:52Girl.
13:55I did love him.
13:57And I hated him.
14:00We were like Taylor and Burton.
14:02God, we knew of Toreau.
14:04With the make-up sex.
14:05Another level.
14:06You don't have to tell me.
14:07Like two cats in a sack.
14:09Just going at it.
14:10Neighbours banging on the walls.
14:11Hours we'd be going for.
14:13Shh.
14:13I'm not talking standard mystery.
14:15This was top shelf stuff.
14:16Moving on.
14:17The fallout that led to your arrest must have been bigger than normal.
14:20What happened?
14:22Sorry.
14:23Sorry.
14:25We were selling the house.
14:27When Eddie suddenly decided he wanted a bigger cat.
14:30Said he was skint.
14:31You thought he was lying.
14:32I know he was lying.
14:34I caught him out.
14:35His Amazon account still delivers you.
14:37And last week, a package turned up from some ski wear company.
14:41Skint Eddie Morris can afford to go skiing.
14:43If he was here now, I'd bloody kill him.
14:46I didn't kill him.
14:48I just wish I'd made things up before.
14:52Some things are hard to forgive.
14:55And now he's dead.
14:57And all that rowing seems so stupid now.
15:00Sorry.
15:01Nice.
15:05Try and take your mind off Eddie.
15:07Why don't I pop on the radio?
15:10Yeah.
15:11Erm.
15:13Get down to Eddie Morris Auto.
15:15Oh, yeah.
15:17Pff.
15:21Pff.
15:24Chowdhury.
15:25Thought you'd want to hear this.
15:26We've had Eddie Morris' phone records back.
15:28Any news on who he called before he died?
15:31There was one call at 2.40pm to Eddie Morris Autos.
15:35Great. Thanks Chowdhury.
15:36I'll get down to Eddie Morris Autos right now.
15:40Oh, I love that advert.
15:42Get down to Eddie Morris Autos.
15:45We haven't got time for this.
15:46Sorry, Mum.
15:49Ah, the honest sweat of rehabilitative work.
15:52Giving back productively for our wrongs.
15:55Laying a redemptive brick in the wall of society.
16:00Or was it not Keats that said, oh, happy, happy bow?
16:04Polly, can I punch your new bloke? He's really getting on my nerves.
16:07No you can't, Warren.
16:09I don't care how annoying he is. You play nice.
16:21What are you in for, mate?
16:24Gang stuff. You wouldn't get it.
16:25Oh, I do. When Caesar went up against Lewis on ITV, it was tribal.
16:30But then 10 million viewers against 7.2.
16:33I'll leave you to be the judge who won that particular gang war.
16:36Although, Kevin is a dear friend, so keep that bloody hat.
16:40I'm talking, like, serious gang war zone stuff.
16:44Where I'm from, it's always kicking off.
16:46Where's that? The top side of Cardiff?
16:49Abergavenny.
16:50See, I'm from the east side. That's where everything east of Argos.
16:53Yeah, I think I saw reports of that on Newsnight, yeah.
16:57Yeah, yeah, the thing is though, right, this west side kid called Karna
16:59was mouthing off in the kebab shop on the east side.
17:01So I punched him.
17:04Well, I punched his bike. But, like, really odd.
17:07Oh, well, we're all paying our dues now, aren't we?
17:12Except for Eddie, of course.
17:14You and he were, um, close.
17:18More than just friends, is that why you went off together?
17:24I didn't think anybody knew.
17:26I don't know what it was about him, I just get this thing for older men.
17:31I'm actually feeling it pretty strongly for you right now.
17:34Oh, right, er, well, I'm flattered, but you're pulling my leg, aren't you?
17:39Yeah, I nearly had you though, admit it.
17:42He's just helped me out, like, job interview training.
17:45We were allowed, Polly said we could.
17:47Were you thinking about your career prospects?
17:49Gotta turn my life around.
17:51Mam sees me going out every morning, she knows all it takes is some west side kid with a grudge
17:54and I'm coming home in a body bag.
18:01So sad about Eddie.
18:03We've paid our respects in a classy way.
18:06Balloons?
18:06Plus, we're knocking 395 off all second-hand hatchbacks in Eddie's memory.
18:10Oh, great.
18:12Now, on the afternoon of Eddie's death, he rang here at 2.40pm.
18:18We think that was important.
18:19He did.
18:20But that was just about the roteless for today.
18:22He'd given our security guard tonight off and then decided to put him back on.
18:26Right, miss?
18:26Well, I'm gonna need Eddie's diary and if you have access to his office safe, anything from there.
18:33I'll be just a minute.
18:43Ooh!
18:50Oh, my God.
18:57Oh, my God.
18:59Oh, my God.
19:00Oh, my God.
19:02Um.
19:07Good horn.
19:09There you go.
19:11Diary.
19:11Safe didn't have much in.
19:13A logbook for an SUV.
19:16No idea why he was keeping that there.
19:17And a big fruit and nut bar.
19:19I'm gonna need to take all that in as evidence, especially the fruit and nut.
19:24Um, before I go, can you think of anyone that might want Eddie dead?
19:29Back in the day.
19:30Clive Ball at Ball Motors over in Abercaddy.
19:33But Clive's been dead eight years.
19:35Anyone alive?
19:37And where's that one bloke at his community service?
19:40The big fella, Warren?
19:45Eddie Morris is the reason why Warren's here.
19:47He saw him stealing from an antique shop and made a citizen's arrest.
19:50He's a bit out of character, isn't he?
19:51With the Incredible Hulk.
19:53We'd better have a word with him.
19:54No, I'd better.
19:55Look, he's in there and I don't need your help, you...
19:59high-vis mother stealer.
20:01Oh, look, come on.
20:03You can't stay in this...
20:05What is it your mother calls it?
20:07Puddy.
20:07I'm not in a puddy.
20:09Yes you are, you're puddying.
20:10No, I'm going.
20:17Eddie's the reason why you're here, why didn't you tell us?
20:19You didn't ask.
20:21Uh, private meeting here.
20:23Ah, not having your lot interview one of my fellow offenders on his own.
20:27You're just things to see.
20:28Oh, that's rich coming from you.
20:30Do you two know each other?
20:30No.
20:31No.
20:32No, I just want to look out for you, Warren, mate.
20:34You know, I've been through the system.
20:37I know what it's like.
20:39If I let you stay, will you shut up?
20:43So, did you see Eddie on the morning of his death?
20:46No.
20:50Oh.
20:50He'd been off with Liam.
20:52Practising job interview techniques.
20:54Very magnanimous of Eddie, I would say.
20:56Well, stop them helping us, but Holly has her favourites.
20:59Liam gets away with murder.
21:01She let him swan in at noon when he slept in once.
21:04Gave him the best litter picker.
21:06She used to give me that litter picker.
21:08That lunch time.
21:10Do you know if Eddie was out of sorts with anyone in the group?
21:12I don't know.
21:13I have lunch in the back office.
21:14I like to be alone.
21:15Solitude.
21:16Sometimes.
21:17Best society.
21:19John Milton.
21:21Just don't want anyone stealing my hula hoops.
21:23So stay away from my hula hoops.
21:30But that was weird.
21:32Last week I came in here and I found Eddie on his own, staring at that video.
21:35Just like it was transfixed.
21:37Just out of curiosity, the shoplifting at the antique store, what did you steal?
21:42That's the Japanese vase.
21:44They couldn't sell it, it was broken anyway.
21:45So why steal it?
21:46Because I like nicking things.
21:47Look, I didn't like Eddie.
21:50I don't really like anyone.
21:51What a sensual warming to me.
21:53I can't stand you.
21:54But it didn't matter.
21:56Eddie was leaving anyway.
21:57I had Polly on the phone with the probation services the other day.
22:00She was going to get him transferred to another group.
22:03I'm going now.
22:10You asked to have Eddie removed from the group.
22:13Firstly, why?
22:15Secondly...
22:17Why?
22:18Me and Sally were doing my head in.
22:21Too disruptive.
22:22One minute Sally's threatening to chop his meat and two veg off, the next she's flirting
22:26and bringing him in special lunches.
22:29It's like being a teacher.
22:31That pair of teenagers split up.
22:33Emotions all over the place.
22:34The whole class becomes a write off.
22:37Why come you left teaching behind?
22:39For the same reason everyone does.
22:41Hours, paperwork, stress.
22:44I mean, this lot might be criminals, but they're a walk in the park compared to 30 year 11s.
22:49Now I really do have to get on.
22:55Right.
22:56Let's get back to the visitor centre.
22:58See what Warren's really doing in that back office.
23:01Let's go.
23:02Alright.
23:09Nice lot.
23:10That's interesting.
23:12Is it meat?
23:13Or does it smell a bit...
23:15...farty in you?
23:16Oh, how incredibly pure I'd even...
23:20It does smell a bit farty, doesn't it?
23:23Or is it fishy?
23:25Oh, someone not wanting to leave fingerprints.
23:30Oh!
23:32Oh!
23:33Fishy farty!
23:34Oh, fuck!
23:36What the hell's been going on in here?
23:37Open that!
23:38What?
23:38Oh, that one.
23:39Alright.
23:40Yeah.
23:40Don't touch my...
23:41What?
23:42Don't!
23:42Get it!
23:43Okay.
23:47I'll get that sent to the lab.
23:48See if it links to Eddie.
23:51She can pay her notes later.
23:53Am I a place?
23:55Put your bourbons in.
23:57Alright, fine.
24:02Oh!
24:03That's Baxter.
24:04PM's in.
24:06The cause of death is head injury from the fall.
24:09Couple of interesting things.
24:11Firstly, the killer slipped up, left their ID in Eddie's pocket.
24:15What?
24:15Joking.
24:16But it was definitely murder.
24:18Defence wounds on the arms, couple of scratch marks.
24:21Sent samples for testing.
24:22Great.
24:22Anything else?
24:23Yeah, there was a rash all over his body.
24:26Ew.
24:26Yeah, it looks like an allergic reaction or something.
24:28Weird.
24:29Why was...
24:30Are you keeping your granola here?
24:32Oh.
24:33Yeah.
24:34Well, someone kept eating it at home, so...
24:36Someone was starving and had not time to go to the shops.
24:39It's still not someone's granola, is it?
24:41Six quid a box, that is.
24:42Six quid a box?
24:43What's in it?
24:43Diamonds?
24:45Alright, alright.
24:46I'll buy my own granola.
24:49Oh, are you in tonight?
24:50There's a new reality show on, looks right up our street.
24:53Love prison, right?
24:55Eight couples are sent to prison, but here's the twist.
24:58The guards are hot.
24:59Sounds really good, but I can't.
25:02I've got to go and see a colleague.
25:11Oh God, what's happening?
25:13Well, it's yoga, it's lion's breath pose.
25:16Bit of a warning, I thought you were having a stroke.
25:18I'm decompressing.
25:20Spending all day in character is incredibly taxing.
25:24Being me, but not me.
25:26Well, if you're done decompressing, do you want to come and help me with this murder?
25:30Oh!
25:31Shake it out.
25:33What do you reckon to this rash over Eddie's body?
25:35Baffling but trivial, from a character perspective.
25:39Doesn't speak of any motive.
25:41Alright, rude.
25:43Sally had the most to gain, but we now have Warren with a motive.
25:47Revenge.
25:48Warren is certainly interesting.
25:50Yeah.
25:51He's hiding something behind the hard nine exterior.
25:55What do you make of Liam?
25:56He presents himself as a menaced society, but it's all a front.
26:00There's a quick mind there.
26:01And the fact that he wanted job interview coaching shows that he's interested in turning his life around.
26:06That seems weird to me.
26:08Polly letting Liam and Eddie skive off to do interview coaching.
26:12As Warren says, she did have her favourites.
26:17But it's unfair.
26:18Have you ever known a teacher to be like that?
26:20It's totally out of character.
26:22Yes.
26:23That's very true.
26:24Seems like my antennae has rubbed off on you.
26:28This could be a real crack in the case.
26:31Feels good doing this again, doesn't it?
26:33Yeah.
26:35But things can't go back to how they were.
26:37Not after what you did.
26:42I did try not to.
26:44I'm sorry you're hurt.
26:46But I didn't think I'd have the chance to feel like that about another person again.
26:52Well, you've got feelings for ma'am.
26:54Of course.
26:55Not just another notch on my bedpost.
26:57She makes me feel alive again.
26:59She's opened me up.
27:02But I am sorry how it came about.
27:05No, truly.
27:08I'm sorry for puddying.
27:11And for spreading those rumours about you online.
27:14About your unhealthy interest in animals.
27:17What?
27:19Let's see what we can find tomorrow, shall we?
27:21Yeah, better not be late.
27:23I'll allow myself a red sticker.
27:27Of course.
27:31That's why Polly let them do it.
27:34You let Eddie Slack off because he threatened to expose you?
27:37Absolutely not.
27:38This group has perfect attendance,
27:40but I know from Warren that Liam turned up hours late one morning.
27:44You marked him down as being here when he wasn't,
27:46and that's a disciplinary offence.
27:48Bloody hell, who's talking here?
27:50John Chappeler, Charles Caesar.
27:51It's none of your business.
27:53I beg to differ.
27:54I'm here to be rehabilitated.
27:56The person leading that should be morally unquestionable.
27:58An example to the rest of us.
27:59Liam's a nice boy.
28:01If I'd reported his absence, he'd be chucked out.
28:03That's not your call to me.
28:04Yes, but I know how this plays out.
28:06I've taught a hundred Liams.
28:08A bit ADHD, a bit dyslexic.
28:11But he can't get any help because of the waiting lists.
28:14But Eddie found out what you did and saw an opportunity.
28:17Yes, I didn't like it, but at least he was doing something good.
28:22Now, I've got a lot to do before we get cracking, so goodbye.
28:27This rather changes the complexion of the case.
28:30What were Eddie and Liam really getting up to?
28:35I'd better catch up with them.
28:39Here you are.
28:41Warren.
28:43Hiya, guys.
28:45Sally!
28:46We didn't expect to see you.
28:48I found being at home too hard.
28:50Also, I heard there was a new famous member and I wanted a selfie.
28:54John Chappell.
28:55I'm so sorry for your loss.
28:57It's been really tough, John.
29:00Oh, welcome back, Sally.
29:03Like the new hairdo.
29:05This?
29:07Yes.
29:08Well, I'm having to drive with the window down at the minute.
29:10The smell's gotten worse.
29:11Might have to get rid of the Range Rover.
29:13I'm one of Wales' most prominent politicians.
29:16My car has to be a reflection of me.
29:18Well, I'm sure Eddie would have done you a special deal.
29:22I'm sure you're all right to work.
29:23Oh, Polly, I just wanted to see a friendly face.
29:26Oh, yeah.
29:26I just...
29:29That's an interesting castle, isn't it?
29:32Do you know that it actually dates back to 11...
29:3655?
29:37Yeah.
29:39It's well old, isn't it?
29:40It's Norman, actually.
29:43Polly's been teaching me all about the history.
29:45Were you into history, then?
29:46Oh, nah, not really.
29:47I mean, I hated it at a school.
29:48But, er...
29:50The castle's pretty cool.
29:51Well, it's good to have interest in it.
29:53It's a thirst for knowledge.
29:55Do you think you might get into history?
29:56I mean, there's plenty of careers in heritage, you know.
30:00Never really thought about it, chaps.
30:02Where do you see yourself in five years?
30:04You must have some future goals.
30:08These really are the sort of questions you should have answers for,
30:11after days of interview training with Eddie.
30:22Fire.
30:23Well, of course, the effects are almost primitive now.
30:27I don't think there's a sort of retro filter with it.
30:32It adds a certain art house quality to the piece.
30:34Very Roger Corman.
30:38Oh, it just doesn't taste the same.
30:40I wish your Caesar were on the case.
30:42He'd find my mug.
30:44Yes, but I'm not sure the channel would have been entirely keen on an episode about a mug theft.
30:48I don't know.
30:50Given the current levels of banality in most mainstream TV drama.
30:55Er, I just need to take this on my private.
30:57Roger Cormley want to talk to me about my brave crusade.
31:01They're words.
31:02Don't touch my sushi.
31:06Typical politician, that one, isn't she?
31:08You can't trust them as far as you can throw her.
31:10Oh, she's proper two-faced, John.
31:12Yeah, I mean, someone should take her down a peg or two.
31:16What was it, prawns or cheese?
31:18Prawns.
31:21I thought it was you who put a smell in her car.
31:24No, hang on a minute.
31:26Alright, fine.
31:28I just wanted to get my own back.
31:30Same way you got your own back on Eddie.
31:33I thought it was odd when Polly said that you made him a special lunch and he got covered in
31:37a rash.
31:38What was it, allergy?
31:41Saw you.
31:42They both deserved it.
31:44Oh, what happened Sally?
31:49Last few weeks, me and Eddie have been getting closer.
31:52I mean, the spark was still there.
31:54Eddie was like a lit firework.
31:56I knew I shouldn't go back there, but I always did.
31:58And then bang.
31:59Oh, we always banged.
32:00No, I meant fireworks.
32:01You know, this is bang.
32:03And then last week, I'm driving down the lanes and I see Eddie's car packed up in a lay-by.
32:08A lay-by where people get up to things, if you know what I mean.
32:13How does getting revenge on Angela come into this?
32:16Well, I slowed down at Eddie's car and she was in the passenger seat next to him.
32:25Okay, Eddie and I were having an affair. That's why we'd meet up in his car.
32:30Tell me, is it in the politician job description, having to lie your arse off?
32:35My client is an upstanding citizen here, voluntarily.
32:39A national hero.
32:40Oh, and a weaver of lies.
32:42That was a bit intense, but no. You met up with him because of this.
32:49For the tape, I have just shown the suspect the log book from Eddie's safe for her Range Rover.
32:55He had my log book because he had repaired my car.
32:58The car you drove into a wall in your protest against holiday lets.
33:03Your national crusade.
33:05I don't want to resort to sound bites, but yes, I really felt the hand of history on that wheel.
33:13That's not how the neighbours' ring doorbell would describe it. I looked. You were doing your mascara and veered off
33:19the road.
33:23Whether that's true or not, I don't see what that's got to do with my log book.
33:27You'd do anything for Wales, wouldn't you? Except live in it. Right here, under the address.
33:34You live in London.
33:37Nes i gan i nghorni chi.
33:39Gae y glir o.
33:40I know. It's not a crime, living in London.
33:43Pint cost nine pounds.
33:44That is a crime. But it's a bad luck, isn't it? For a member of Senedd.
33:49All that banging on about how much you love Wales, but you can't bear to live in your own constituency.
33:55I love my constituency.
33:58But I also really love being able to go and see Hamilton midweek.
34:03I like sushi. Experimental theatre.
34:06Getting in a taxi where the driver doesn't know about my cystitis because his mam works the desk.
34:11That is actually quite fair.
34:12And like I said, it's not a crime.
34:15But murder is. Eddie found out and blackmailed you, so you silenced him.
34:21Let me be clear. No comment.
34:28Well, I'd love it to be her, but I just don't think she's our killer.
34:31No, no, no. We need to get back to character, motives.
34:36I think young Liam's the key to this.
34:38Why would Eddie go out of his way to get him out of work as well?
34:41The idea of any benevolence there is too out of character.
34:46Everything Eddie did in the run-up to his death is out of character, though.
34:50How so?
34:51Moving shifts around at the car showroom.
34:53Suddenly taking an interest in skiing.
34:56Transfixed by your naff history film.
34:59Naff? It was unique and innovative.
35:03Well, maybe the fire special effects were of their time, but...
35:08Wait.
35:10That's it.
35:12But why?
35:16You...
35:16I know, did it?
35:25And whilst I don't want to make this about me, I feel this castle, like myself, has had its honour
35:33restored and can stand proud again.
35:48And from one opening, now it's time for closure on who murdered Eddie Morris.
35:56Are you one of us, the one of the feds?
35:58There are many things to many people, Liam.
36:01Elusive.
36:02Protean, you might say.
36:04He's a police consultant with a verbal diarrhoea problem.
36:08Now, what do we really know about Eddie Morris?
36:11We know he needed money.
36:13Eddie tried to solve his money problems by blackmailing Angela.
36:17I have already said, on the record, I didn't pay him.
36:21So you weren't banging each other?
36:23Of course not.
36:25They have standards.
36:26What's that supposed to mean?
36:27Now, Eddie was desperate.
36:29Then something at the visitor centre gave him an idea.
36:32The video.
36:32The Welsh, having repelled the English, had to face an even greater foe.
36:37Fire.
36:38The initial script said flames.
36:41We messed about with it on the day, and we came up with fire.
36:44Works much better, I think.
36:46The fire gave Eddie the idea of burning down his car showroom.
36:51The insurance payout would solve all of his problems.
36:54Yes, that's why he changed the rotors.
36:56So there'd be no security guard.
36:58Eddie loved his showroom, he'd never burn it down.
37:00Also, he was a real coward.
37:02Well, this is true.
37:04Where better to find a willing criminal than in a group of criminals?
37:10Liam.
37:12There was no interview coaching.
37:14You were planning the job together.
37:16Eddie wanted you to start the fire.
37:18He even bought you a ski mask, so you wouldn't get caught on CCTV.
37:24You got cold feet, didn't you?
37:27Yeah.
37:29I didn't want to do it.
37:31I Googled arson, you can go to prison for ages.
37:34Eddie wouldn't take no for an answer.
37:35Yeah, but I never killed him.
37:37I'm not even hard, I like castles.
37:39No, you didn't kill Eddie.
37:41Your actions spoke of rehabilitation.
37:44Thanks to the efforts of Polly.
37:47Who did kill him.
37:50Polly, you didn't.
37:52You overheard the argument, what Eddie had planned.
37:56You heard Eddie threatening your favorite, Liam.
38:00Your success story, a life turned around.
38:03You tried to have Eddie removed from the group, but that failed.
38:07Then, when Eddie went to make a call at the top of the castle tower, you saw an opportunity.
38:13End a life to save a life.
38:17What choice did you have?
38:20If Eddie got Liam to burn down the showroom, Liam's life would be over.
38:26He dropped his phone.
38:28My guess is you touched it in the tussle, so you wiped it for prints.
38:32That was your only mistake, really.
38:34You handle all the phones here anyway, so we wouldn't have questioned your prints on it.
38:42I had to.
38:44Liam was just like the kids at my school.
38:47Going down the wrong path because I couldn't do enough to help them.
38:51I had helped Liam.
38:53I'd engaged him in history.
38:55I couldn't let Eddie ruin that.
38:57That's the most tragic bit.
38:59If only you'd got there earlier.
39:01And heard the phone call.
39:04What?
39:05Eddie was calling his deputy manager to change the rotor back.
39:08He wasn't going to go through with the fire.
39:10No.
39:12You're lying.
39:13If only you practiced what you'd preached and everything would be okay.
39:17You do have a rehabilitative effect on people.
39:21Like Warren here.
39:23Hi, mate.
39:24You broke open the drawer.
39:26You might want to give it to her.
39:28Before it's too late.
39:30It was an accident.
39:32I sat on it.
39:34Yes.
39:35And fixed it using the Japanese art of kintsugi.
39:39It was the smell on the gloves that gave you away.
39:42The glue hardener, using the delicate repair, gives off a pungent, sulfurous smell.
39:48Fishy farty for the uninitiated.
39:50I did a workshop in it and, you know, quite like the theme.
39:55Enhancing broken things and giving them a new life.
39:58It was...
40:00Has anyone got a problem with that?
40:01No.
40:03Polly Trevor, I'm arresting you for the murder of Eddie Morris.
40:06You do not have to say...
40:07Can I take my mug with me?
40:09Knock yourself out, babe.
40:11No.
40:11You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defense if you do not mention, when questioned,
40:16something you can later rely on in court.
40:18Oh, thanks.
40:20Just look over here.
40:22And just a slight smile.
40:25Oh, that's really nice.
40:29I feel sorry for her anyway.
40:31If she'd just talk to Eddie.
40:34He'd already made her mind up, trapped in her own prejudice, convinced he was incapable of change or redemption and
40:40that sort of thing can blind people.
40:42Yeah.
40:42Well, sometimes people deserve another chance.
40:46That's why I've invited someone along.
40:49It was this.
40:50I'll push you off a castle tower.
40:52Don't make me regret my choice.
40:56Mum.
40:57I'll get some cinnamon, Mum.
41:00It's giving you two a moment.
41:05I'm sorry.
41:06I was...
41:07I was childish and you're a grown woman.
41:10You're allowed to see whoever you like.
41:12Oh, love.
41:13Yeah.
41:14Yeah.
41:14And I was thinking maybe tonight, you know, if it's alright, I could come over for dinner.
41:20Shepherd's pie.
41:21Oh, I'd like that.
41:23And I'm free tonight.
41:24You and John don't have plans.
41:25No.
41:26I'm actually going to break up with him.
41:28What?
41:30Do you think I'm going to break up with him?
41:32What?
41:33What do you think?
41:34What do you think?
41:35What do you think?
41:36What do you think?
41:37What do you think?
41:41Cheery.
41:42I preferred him when he was grumpy.
41:45It's so lovely to see you two chatting again.
41:48Here we are.
41:49Almost the best buns in the cafe.
41:53Oh, is that the time?
41:54I've got to go.
41:57Ta-ta.
41:59A bit weird, wasn't it?
42:02John.
42:04Hmm?
42:12I don't know.
42:18I'm so pretty.
42:21Good to see you.
