00:00Ah, good man. We need an extra hand.
00:15Actually, no, I'm here to see Cici Loseley.
00:18But, um, what is going on?
00:21The most important two days in Great Slaughter's calendar, that's what.
00:24No, no, no, not yellow. I need red, white and blue for the Queen.
00:28Yeah, okay.
00:29The Queen is coming. She's over there.
00:33Her throne's not ready yet.
00:34Your Majesty, you're right on time.
00:39Preparations are almost complete, but we could still use some help.
00:42For what exactly?
00:45The Great Slaughter Scarecrow Festival, of course.
00:49Right, it makes sense where my hair fever is acting off.
00:51Good of you to step in as official police liaison.
00:54Actually, no, sir. Wonderful. Great to have you on board.
00:57Um, sir, if I may have a moment of your time.
01:01It's a nightmare, isn't it?
01:03Yeah.
01:04I hate how the Scarecrow's just stare at you.
01:08Gives me the eebie-jeebies.
01:10Yeah.
01:11It's like that one.
01:12What is that one even meant to be?
01:13Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:19Ja, ja, ja, ja.
01:49Jan and Sarge, good of you to volunteer.
01:52It didn't exactly happen like that.
01:55I'm just here to watch this year.
01:57Wouldn't miss it for the world.
01:59Me neither.
02:00I thought you said that.
02:01It's all so fun, really.
02:04Isn't it?
02:06Of course, it could be the last year it's on.
02:08Depends on how the vote goes.
02:10Vote?
02:10See if it's going to come back or not.
02:12After what happened last year, half the village won't it banned.
02:15That was all blown out of proportion, Norrell.
02:16Tell that to Mr Carter.
02:18He's still got the scar.
02:20Maybe it's all for a good cause.
02:22What about the Farmer's Youth Charity?
02:24After tomorrow, they might need to find another way to fundraise.
02:29Sergeant Livingstone, we're starting.
02:31Might need you on crowd control.
02:32Don't tell me you support this nonsense.
02:40It turns the whole village into a public house.
02:43I'm not complaining.
02:46Sisters, please tell me we can count on your vote to free us from this straw-filled stranglehold.
02:53Well, um, well, no, actually.
02:56I think it's rather wonderful what people can create with straw and a bit of imagination.
03:00And I can't say no to a cash prize.
03:03Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to this, the annual Great Slaughter Scarecrow Festival,
03:17all in support of the Farmer's Youth Charity.
03:20Now, we have a wonderful weekend ahead of us helping this great cause, and I'm sure you'll
03:28all agree, bringing much joy to the whole village.
03:32Tomfoolery, more like.
03:34Now, you will find the scarecrows scattered all around the village, each themed for different
03:41categories.
03:42Now, the individual winners will then go on to compete for the grand prize at the closing
03:48ceremony tomorrow, and then the overall winner will go home with a cash prize of...
03:55seven pounds.
03:58Seven?
04:00It was ten last year.
04:01Yes.
04:03Now, after last year's events, I think it prudent that I should remind you all that, well, any
04:14instances of scarecrows' sabotage will result in instant disqualification.
04:22We will also not tolerate any fighting, kicking, punching, or biting.
04:29With all that said, it gives me great pleasure to announce this festival well and truly underway!
04:46Moses parting the Red Sea.
05:02A strong start, sisters.
05:05I think we've practised it this time.
05:09Doesn't Moses bear a striking resemblance to Joseph from last year
05:13just without the coat of many colours?
05:15All right, keep your voice down.
05:21Everything all right?
05:23My scarecrow's head won't stay on straight.
05:26Needs more straw.
05:28Why don't you take some of our leftovers?
05:36Oh, sorry. Hay fever.
05:39Thanks for this.
05:43Very generous of you.
05:45Helping out the competition?
05:48Charlie Sanderson.
05:50Competition.
05:52Sergeant Livingstone, you're a man of good sense.
05:56Surely you can help us put an end to all this.
05:59Some fucker be here when he needed my straw.
06:01There's no need to swear, Tom.
06:03They steal his straw, you know.
06:09Can we count on your vote?
06:11Well, I wouldn't think it would be quite appropriate for me to say while I'm working in official capacity.
06:19Of course.
06:20Of course.
06:29Ah, another fine effort, Martin.
06:31Get back.
06:33Took me hours to get his cigar at the right jaunty angle.
06:37Martin's won the last six years in a row.
06:39I heard your head's fallen off.
06:42Again.
06:43I'm fixing it.
06:44And who's running the shop while you're faffing about here?
06:49You all right?
06:49Oh, I slipped off a ladder doing inventory at the shop.
06:54You work at Sanderson's, don't you?
06:57Oh, you came in the other weekend, didn't you?
06:59Yeah, you remember.
07:00Not too many customers these days.
07:03I'm his godfather.
07:04I helped him run the shop for my sins.
07:13Oh, thanks for your help.
07:15Excuse me.
07:22Oh, gosh.
07:23What now?
07:24Oh, here, let me.
07:26Oh, Sandra.
07:28You're an angel.
07:29It won't take a moment.
07:32That's my auntie, Sandra.
07:34What?
07:36Yeah.
07:36Well, not my auntie, Annie, but my mum's best friend.
07:40Do you know, she was the one who convinced me to become a WPC in the first place.
07:45Everyone else said it was a silly idea, but she always told me never to give up.
07:50Well, we owe her money, thanks.
07:52It's not true.
07:54What are you doing?
07:57Just lending a hand.
08:00That is an egregious breaking of the rules.
08:02No outside help.
08:04It's collusion.
08:05Oh, have a heart.
08:06He hasn't got one.
08:08Sour grapes, Clementine.
08:10I must insist.
08:11I think we'll allow it this time.
08:13So, what have we here, ha-ha, yes, for our fairy tale category, Rapunzel in her tower, waiting for her knight in shining armour, to whisk her away from her life of drudgery, I presume.
08:29Oh, my dear, ha-ha, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:37I'm sorry.
08:39I'm just having a bad day.
08:43Move it swiftly on.
08:45Oh, wait!
08:55You haven't seen my scarecrow.
08:58You've entered.
08:59You finally convinced me.
09:01How could you?
09:02My own sister?
09:05I've been telling her to enter for years.
09:07She's so talented.
09:09It's breakfast at Tiffany's.
09:12You know, I love that scene
09:14where they're looking for the cat at the end.
09:16I'm sorry, your big softie.
09:18Does she do any other poses?
09:22What are you doing?
09:24Please.
09:25It's just the prize money.
09:28Martin, time to settle up.
09:29I'm just collecting entry fees.
09:32I've already paid.
09:34No record of any payment.
09:36Check again.
09:38Ah, here we are.
09:40My mistake.
09:41I'll deal with you later.
09:44We'll kick off with the award for best Bible story.
09:52This was a really tough decision,
09:55but the winner is...
09:57The Sisters of St. Vincent's.
10:00Huzzah!
10:02Five times in a row.
10:04Hunt the Sisters is the only one in this category.
10:07No one goes up against the nuns.
10:13Good morning.
10:15You do know they're for the straw, right?
10:18Hello.
10:19I've got to see this Churchill everyone's banging on about.
10:23Martin is our main competition now.
10:26I wouldn't worry.
10:28That's a terrible Churchill.
10:29I heard there was an incident.
10:45A murder, I think we can safely say, from the obvious cause of death.
10:49A tiki eye to the eyes and face, bruising around the neck.
10:54All hallmark signs.
10:55Strangulation.
10:56But we're shouting distance from half the village.
10:59Surely someone heard a cry for help.
11:01Well, note the straw stuffed in his mouth.
11:05Taking care of that problem.
11:08Oh, there's something sticky.
11:09And no one in the other displays reported seeing or hearing anything out of the ordinary.
11:16I'm afraid this rather dashes our hopes of potential fingerprints.
11:20But I can check for incriminating fibres.
11:23Not much to go on in the meantime.
11:26Well, leaving us rather clutching at straws.
11:30Come on now.
11:31Don't be corny.
11:32Oh.
11:34Very good.
11:37Now, what do we have here?
11:39That's Winston Churchill.
11:44Martin Skirkeret.
11:45Why is it all scrunched up?
11:47Maybe you weren't happy with it.
11:49Unlikely, given he was the bookie's favourite.
11:51Mrs. Clam did report seeing him doing finishing touches to a Skirkeret around...
11:5510 a.m.
11:57When everyone else was at the first judging ceremony.
12:01Well, let's find out who else wasn't at that ceremony.
12:03If I might have your attention, please.
12:13I am afraid that Martin Hubbard has been found dead.
12:18And tragically, it would appear to be murder.
12:23I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
12:35We'll cancel the Morris dancers, of course.
12:39Yes, of course.
12:41Sir, do you think it's appropriate if we continue with this at all?
12:44No, no, no, no, no.
12:46I'm sure Martin would have wanted us to go ahead.
12:50I think he'd prefer to still be breathing.
12:54Besides, his death blows his whole competition wide open.
13:00Oh, Sandra.
13:10I'm so sorry about your brother.
13:13I can't believe he's gone.
13:16And the last time we spoke, we argued about this stupid competition.
13:21I'll have to drop out now.
13:24Are you sure?
13:26Jess wouldn't be right.
13:30I saw the killer.
13:34What?
13:35After Sister Reginald went to fetch help,
13:38I heard footsteps behind me,
13:39and when I turned around, there was a scarecrow.
13:42So who did you see?
13:44A scarecrow.
13:45A scarecrow?
13:47It must have come alive and killed Martin.
14:00It's alive!
14:15That's what I saw.
14:18Wait.
14:19Did you see anything else?
14:20Now then.
14:21Who ordered the carrot cake?
14:23Perhaps Martin's house will have something more substantial to go on.
14:31That sends quite the message.
14:43Hmm.
14:44It was the last straw for someone.
14:46Ha!
14:47Oh.
14:48Very good.
14:49Mm-hmm.
14:52Hmm.
14:53Looks like a sharp blade's been used on his shirts.
14:55Hmm.
14:57Kitchen scissors, perhaps.
14:58And in quite a frenzy, judging by the jagged cuts.
15:06But they've failed to consider our old friend Locard.
15:11There's traces of something there.
15:18Looks like metal filings.
15:21Hmm.
15:22I need to take a closer look back at the lab.
15:24Hmm.
15:24Hmm.
15:28Hmm.
15:28Sister.
15:30Look at that.
15:32Oh, yes.
15:34Well spotted.
15:34We've narrowed our list of suspects to those who went to the first prize ceremony.
15:53They all claimed that they were keeping an eye on their displays.
15:56This is the last thing the festival needs after last year.
16:00What exactly happened last year?
16:02Someone accused the great slaughtered W.A. of sabotage, and then, well, everything kicked off.
16:08Before you knew it, there were limbs flying everywhere.
16:10Scarecrow limbs.
16:11We should clarify.
16:12Do you think Martin's death could have something to do with the festival?
16:16He was the frontrunner.
16:17Well, we certainly can't rule anything out.
16:19Well, here's one thing we do know.
16:25This mystery substance we found on the straw in Martin's mouth is insoluble in water.
16:31Gas chromatography confirms it's petroleum jelly.
16:34Well, I'm the foggiest idea why that would be there.
16:36Lubrication isn't exactly efficacious when it comes to strangulation.
16:39Martin, and here's another enigma.
16:43I've checked the handwriting against other samples in Martin's house, and they aren't a match.
16:49Meaning...
16:50Meaning someone else drew them.
16:52Could someone have helped him with a scarecrow?
16:54But that's against the rules.
16:56I'll need handwriting samples from our suspects to see if one of them drew them instead.
17:00Oh, and one more thing.
17:01Note the contusions on his knuckles.
17:04Martin was in a fight recently.
17:06Martin and Charlie weren't getting on this morning, and Charlie had some kind of injury.
17:12But Martin's Charlie's godfather.
17:14They're like family.
17:16Well, he didn't seem too friendly earlier.
17:19The judges and I will now confirm, and in a few moments we will announce the prize for our next category.
17:28Best Celebrity!
17:31Can we have a word?
17:33Martin loved this category.
17:36Can't believe he's not here.
17:39We'd like to talk about your injury.
17:42You said it was an accident at work.
17:45Martin had bruising on his knuckles.
17:48Want to tell us what really happened?
17:50Um, look, it was nothing, really.
17:54It was just an argument.
17:56Bad enough to come to blows.
17:58I had a few ideas about how to expand the business.
18:03Martin wouldn't listen.
18:05Why not?
18:06He said we weren't in any place to be taking risks.
18:10He called me a half-wit.
18:12And that caused a fight?
18:16My mum never went to school.
18:19People called her stupid all her life, even though she opened the shop.
18:22So how did Martin end up getting involved in the business?
18:26My mum died.
18:27I was all on my own.
18:28I was only ten.
18:29And Martin stepped up to help?
18:32He's my legal guardian.
18:34The shop was in a bad way.
18:35He saved me, really.
18:36But he wouldn't let you make any decisions about your own family business?
18:40No, but I'm only 18.
18:43I can't inherit until I'm 21.
18:46That must be frustrating.
18:49I wouldn't even have a shop to worry about if it wasn't for him.
18:54I owe him everything.
18:57And the prize for Best Celebrity goes to...
19:01Alan Yarrow.
19:04For the Queen.
19:06What utter nonsense!
19:09Her Majesty the Queen is not a celebrity.
19:13Now, where is the man of the hour?
19:16Well, here he is.
19:17Foe for the bugle, Alan.
19:19Not now.
19:22The Queen is sabotaged.
19:25Look, she looks fine.
19:28Her corgis are gone.
19:30This is high treason.
19:32I turn my back for a moment and this happens.
19:34What if Dottie's claims were right?
19:36What claims?
19:37She saw a scarecrow fleeing the scene of the murder.
19:39What?
19:40Norman, if you could just clear the scene for me.
19:43Now.
19:44Right.
19:45Look, I'll ask around and I'll see what I can find out.
19:48I found a handwriting match among our suspects.
19:57I know who drew Martin's designs.
20:00I'm afraid it was Sandra.
20:02There has to be an explanation.
20:09Well, there's only one way to find out.
20:13What's this about a killer scarecrow?
20:15I don't believe any of that, Norm.
20:17See, there have been sightings.
20:18It's just nonsense.
20:22Were you and Martin working together to win the competition?
20:26Of course not.
20:28I didn't need his help.
20:30But he needed yours.
20:33I was the one behind Martin's displays.
20:35I designed them and I made them.
20:37So why did you decide to enter the competition this year?
20:42Well, did you know that I was once offered an apprenticeship in London?
20:45Savile Row.
20:47I was all set to move away until Martin convinced me that I...
20:50I wouldn't cut it.
20:53But you're so talented.
20:56Well, I couldn't give up on my dream, you see,
20:59of owning my own dressmaking shop.
21:01It might not be Savile Row, but it was something of my own.
21:05I've been watching Martin win every year with my designs.
21:11I just wondered if I could do it.
21:14And Martin didn't like that.
21:16He liked the idea of winning too much.
21:19Can't we both enter?
21:20No.
21:22This is the one thing I like.
21:25And you're ruining it.
21:27Oh, please don't be like that.
21:29It's just the prize money.
21:31Oh, yes, for this ridiculous shop of yours.
21:34Well, what do you know about running a business?
21:36And who are you going to turn to when it all fails, eh?
21:40I always say, stick to what you know.
21:43I just wanted to try.
21:45And you didn't care about betraying me in the process?
21:47Oh, please.
21:48Well, I've got friends at the council.
21:50People who owe me a favour.
21:51I'll make sure they reject any application you submit.
21:54Even if you win, you won't get your shop.
21:56And that was the last time we spoke.
22:01And now he's gone.
22:03How could I possibly stay in the competition?
22:07Don't you owe it to yourself to try?
22:10Never give up on your dreams.
22:11That's what you always told me.
22:13Oh.
22:15I'm not young and brave like you, Peggy.
22:17I'm not young and brave like you, Peggy.
22:47I think I've a good chance against Muhammad Ali.
22:50Not something you can say every day.
22:52What are you up to?
22:53Those shiny particles on Martin's shirt
22:55with traces of gold paint.
22:59So I'm taking samples.
23:00We've already done the Queen's crown,
23:02Rapunzel's hair and Audrey Hepburn's earrings.
23:04I know his head's a bit wobbly,
23:06but everyone loves Bobby.
23:09All finished.
23:11Ah, just in time.
23:12Ah, now you are talking.
23:20Well, congratulations to you.
23:24Best sporting legend.
23:26I can't believe it.
23:28Your mum would be so proud.
23:31Martin said I didn't stand a chance.
23:33Well, Martin wasn't always right.
23:37Cheers.
23:44I'm sorry about you, brother.
23:48I know what he meant to you as well.
23:50I don't know how I'd manage the shop without him.
23:55He was telling me about some of your ideas.
23:57A home delivery service and a loyalty scheme.
24:01I thought they were very clever.
24:04I should just stick to what I know.
24:06Well, that's what Martin always said.
24:09Do you know, your mum
24:10didn't let anything hold her back.
24:13No.
24:14If you don't try...
24:19Speaking of which,
24:22there's something I need to do.
24:25Would you excuse me, please, Charlie?
24:32Excuse me, Hector.
24:34I'd, uh...
24:35I'd like to re-enter the competition.
24:38You can't do that.
24:39Yes, I will have to confer with the other judges.
24:43Lissandro, what category were you in?
24:45It was Audrey Hepburn for Best Celebrity.
24:48Ah, has already been judged.
24:50Well, all right, then I'll make a new Scarecrow.
24:53Which categories are still open?
24:54Uh, well, just, um, local heroes tomorrow.
24:58Local heroes it is.
24:59This is an outrage.
25:01Now, now, Alan.
25:03Your help organising this festival is invaluable.
25:06But please remember, you are a competitor, not a judge.
25:10What's going on?
25:13Oh, nothing to worry about.
25:14He's letting Sandra re-enter after she voluntarily withdrew.
25:18Oh, gallant.
25:19So now you're fiddling about with the rules, are you?
25:22As if the festival itself isn't bad enough.
25:24What do you mean, bad enough?
25:25Why does everyone have to fight?
25:27Sonny, help me!
25:28What's the matter?
25:30The killer Scarecrow!
25:32What?
25:32It was alive!
25:34It's just me.
25:35Here we go.
25:36They're everywhere!
25:37We've thought of what this festival's reduced us to.
25:40People keep telling me this festival's meant to be bringing you all together.
25:42But it seems to be doing the opposite.
25:44I'll admit, you're not seeing it at its best.
25:47Can we have a lead?
25:48We need to un-mosh!
25:49Come on!
25:50Come on!
25:50Come on!
25:51What are you doing?
25:55What are you doing now?
25:57What are you doing?
25:57No!
25:58No!
25:58No!
25:58Wait!
25:59Stop that!
26:00Stop!
26:00Oi!
26:01Everyone!
26:02Calm down!
26:03Thank you, Sister Reginald.
26:17I've never seen anything like it.
26:21Sorry to have to fret and half of them with disqualification.
26:24Well, that would rather put a dampener on festivities.
26:28Oh, did you hear?
26:29My Auntie Sandra's only gone and re-entered.
26:31Oh!
26:32Bravo!
26:32I have no idea if she'll choose for local here, eh?
26:37It's not like anything goes on round here.
26:39Well, in 1947, Sister Havener, previously of St Vincent's, single-handedly defended a
26:45mission against Venezuelan revolutionaries, though she is quite a niche prospect.
26:50Ah-ha!
26:56Well, you found a match.
26:59Note the thickness of the undercoat and the topcoat of glitter.
27:03We've struck gold.
27:05See, who's Scarecrow, is it?
27:09So why did you cut off Martin's shirts?
27:12That's quite the act of passion.
27:17I loved him.
27:20You were Rapunzel and he was your knight in shiny armour.
27:23I thought he was.
27:27He ended it.
27:30Just like that.
27:31I went ready to start a new life with him, but...
27:35he didn't care.
27:40So you wanted to hurt him back?
27:42I didn't kill him.
27:46I just wanted to send a message.
27:48I snuck into his house last night and I saw his shirt, but then I heard him arguing with
27:58someone.
27:59Did you see who it was?
28:01I didn't look.
28:01I could only really hear Martin saying something about checks.
28:08You can't back out now.
28:10You've cashed them.
28:11Did you hear anything else?
28:13I snuck out the back door quick as I could.
28:17I know how guilty I must look, but I swear that's the truth.
28:23Good morning.
28:33Oh no, er...
28:35What's happened?
28:37What does it look like?
28:40Sorry...
28:41I'm just...
28:42sorry.
28:43Almost savage attack.
28:45Must have been some time last night.
28:47First Alan, now Charlie.
28:50Any one of us could be next.
28:53Maybe we should pull out the competition.
28:56Might as well.
28:57Now that my chance at the prize money's gone.
29:00Surely you can fix it before the grand prize ceremony.
29:05Maybe.
29:08Have you seen this?
29:13Killer scarecrow stalking the streets.
29:16Norman.
29:17Wally by name.
29:18Will this cause a panic?
29:20The festival won't stand a chance at the boot later.
29:23Surely people will know that this is all nonsense.
29:26Ah, this looks familiar.
29:31From the local bank?
29:33Yes, from Martin's fireplace.
29:35Must have been a financial document.
29:37Statement, perhaps.
29:39I'm afraid the rest is too burnt to salvage.
29:41Martin's account could shed some light on this.
29:44Allow me.
29:44I've been looking for an excuse to see the desk clerk again.
29:47It's a Sunday.
29:48The banks are closed.
29:49Not a problem.
29:50I've got her number.
29:51I know what I saw.
29:56And I'm not the only one.
29:57They walk among us.
29:59This festival has turned the village into a madhouse.
30:03Didn't need much help there.
30:05Well, if you'll excuse me, I need to make my way to the station.
30:09Over there!
30:10Over there!
30:10Huh?
30:11Over there!
30:12Over there!
30:15Over there, look!
30:16What's over there?
30:17That's Gantt Crow!
30:19So I see.
30:20Oh, God, you God!
30:23Well, we'll make sure we keep an eye out.
30:29I don't want to know, do I?
30:32I thought you'd be happy to finally get a break in the case.
30:35Okay, so what did Martin's statement say?
30:37Several large outgoing payments to Alan Yarrow.
30:43What exactly are these payments for?
30:44You didn't tell anyone, did you?
30:48Stop worrying about your reputation and answer the question.
30:55To buy my silence.
30:58Go on.
30:59Martin was embezzling from the farmer's youth charity.
31:02No wonder he was such a fan of the festival.
31:04I confronted him, but he offered me money instead.
31:09Why didn't you come to us?
31:12I've got debts.
31:14I couldn't say no to that kind of money.
31:16I knew it was wrong, but by then it was too late.
31:18He had quite a hold over you.
31:20Perhaps one you wanted to be free of.
31:23You think I killed him?
31:26Why would I kill Martin when he was paying me?
31:31You're not going to tell the judges, are you?
31:34No.
31:36But we will need to investigate you for possible corruption.
31:40But...
31:40But I'm a pillar of the community.
31:43Really?
31:44Then start acting like one.
31:48Wait!
31:52Oi!
31:52What are you doing?
31:54Stop!
31:55It's a knife.
32:10Stop!
32:11Stop!
32:11Stop!
32:20I told you!
32:23Don't you dare!
32:25Be careful.
32:31It could be anyone.
32:31It could be anyone.
32:32I can't believe this.
32:51I know.
32:53Miss Thimble was right.
32:54Well, the fibres match those found on Martin's neckerchief.
33:17This glove belongs to our killer.
33:19But why is our killer attacking scarecrows?
33:24A vendetta against the festival?
33:27Speaking of which, we'd better fill the chief in.
33:30Oh, while you're there, could you fetch me something?
33:33Well, someone.
33:36Impressive work to get a scarecrow made so quickly.
33:39Oh, she made a new one.
33:40Oh, she made a new one.
33:41Sorry.
33:42Who did she pick?
33:44Well, why don't you have a look yourself?
33:51Me?
33:52I think she's got your smile quite perfectly.
33:56I can't believe he chose me.
34:01First WPC in the county.
34:03I mean, how could I have chosen anyone else?
34:06Is that a smile I see, Vera?
34:12Don't be ridiculous.
34:19More petroleum jelly.
34:25Sister, I'm sorry, but why do you need this?
34:30Well, Her Majesty's here for her own protection.
34:32And she's evidence.
34:33Well, she's evidence.
34:36That makes me want to.
34:40Bless you, Felix.
34:46And thank you.
34:52Get some.
34:53Huh?
34:53Get some.
34:55Sorry.
34:56I can now announce the final category of the festival.
35:01Local heroes.
35:02Now, this was a unanimous decision by myself and the other judges.
35:09So, please.
35:11The winner is...
35:13Sandra Hubbard!
35:14Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
35:19Oh, well, you've done for Sandra.
35:22Lovely scarecrow.
35:23Beautiful stuff.
35:24Now, Sandra will now join the other finalists for the grand prize ceremony,
35:31which I will be judging shortly.
35:33Shortly. But in the meantime, please remember that the ballot boxes are now open for your votes.
35:39So please, vote wisely!
35:42Charlie, stop!
35:45Well done, Aunty Sandra.
35:49Stay back!
35:51Put the lighter down, Charlie. Look, we know you killed Martin.
35:54No!
35:55Disguising yourself as a scarecrow was an ingenious idea.
35:59But it must have been torture in your sinuses.
36:02You can't prove that was me!
36:04You used the age-old trick of smearing petroleum jelly under your nose to catch pollen.
36:08And I'm quite sure that we'd find traces on you now.
36:11Martin was stealing from the festival.
36:14And business wasn't good at the shop either, was it?
36:16Was he stealing from you too?
36:18We found bank documents in his house that he tried to destroy.
36:22Martin never let me look at any of those.
36:24He said I wouldn't understand what it all meant, but...
36:27When we received a final notice on the rent, I had to see what was wrong.
36:31Instead, I realised the truth.
36:40What do you think you're doing?
36:42You've been stealing.
36:44From the festival, from the shop, all this time.
36:47That is stupid.
36:48You let me believe it was my fault.
36:51But it was you.
36:52You ungrateful brat.
36:54How long have I looked after you?
36:57I...
36:57Did you do this to mum too?
37:02That's why she was almost bankrupt.
37:05She blamed herself and then she...
37:08When everyone finds out...
37:12And who would believe you?
37:15He made her think it was all her fault.
37:26And she killed herself out of the shame.
37:31I don't have a mum because of him.
37:33So it was revenge.
37:35I wanted justice.
37:36For a mum.
37:37But it wasn't enough.
37:50And you wanted to bring the festival down with you.
37:52The whole thing's a sham.
37:55Well, Martin said it was for such a good cause.
37:56But the only person he was helping was himself.
37:59But you're not like that, Charlie.
38:01You care about what's right and wrong.
38:03Don't you come any closer!
38:04Look, you said that you wanted justice.
38:07But this is not the way.
38:10Please, put the lighter down.
38:12What would your mum think?
38:14She's gone because of Martin!
38:16Don't you think Martin's caused enough pain and destruction?
38:20Don't be like him.
38:21You care about the people around you.
38:23And they care about you.
38:25It doesn't matter!
38:27Of course it does.
38:28Think about what this would do to Sandra and this whole community.
38:33Don't do it.
38:36It's too late.
38:37It's never too late to try.
38:41You can make things better.
38:52I just...
38:53I just wanted to make things right.
38:56We know.
38:57Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your patience whilst we resolved an urgent police matter.
39:24You'll have heard that Charlie Sanderson has been arrested for reasons that put our festival to shame.
39:33That's putting it lightly.
39:35Thank you, Vera.
39:36Please do cast your vote for the future of our festival, because I believe, I believe that we can turn this around.
39:49Should you not hang up your scarecrows for good, I promise to restore this festival to its former glory.
39:57Well, with all that said, let's crack on with the grand prize ceremony.
40:03And how about a round of applause for our four wonderful contestants and finalists?
40:08We have Clementine Bell, Sister Reginald, Alan Yarrow, Sandra Hubbard, and don't you go forgetting, you chaps, that only one of you gets to take the grand prize home.
40:23Anyway, after much deliberation, it gives me enormous pleasure to present this grand prize to...
40:37Sandra Hubbard!
40:39Well done.
40:52Oh, thank you.
40:54Yes.
40:55I thought you'd have clinched it.
40:56Well, I only really entered to impress Martin, so...
41:00Well, you impressed me.
41:02Your Rapunzel was magnificent.
41:05Apart from the tatty sleeve.
41:08Nonsense.
41:09I'll need some help in the dress shop when I finally open.
41:14You mean me?
41:16No, but Margaret in the village is really good with a sewing needle.
41:20Of course I mean you.
41:22Oh, thank you.
41:25I really thought we had it in the bag.
41:29Well, there's always next year.
41:31Time to think big.
41:35How about Last Supper?
41:37All the disciples.
41:38Oh.
41:39Yes.
41:40Well, we'll have to start stockpiling straw then, sister.
41:44Assuming that the festival is happening next year.
41:47Ah.
41:48Got to be in it to win it.
41:49It's going to be close.
42:01This beer tent has addled their brains.
42:05Well, we've counted the votes, and it seems to be a tie.
42:10Oh.
42:11I don't know what the protocol is.
42:13Did you vote, Sarge?
42:17No.
42:18Um, I was preoccupied with the killer scarecrow.
42:22Sir, we've got another one here.
42:23Come on.
42:24You know what to do.
42:25Just remember to do what's best for the community.
42:33We have a decision.
42:45We have a decision.
42:48The Great Slaughter Scarecrow Festival will continue.
42:57And seeing how you're such a fan, you can be the official liaison again next year.
43:07Can you forgive me, Mrs. Clum?
43:12Well, of course I blame you for being a bad influence.
43:18Man of the hour.
43:19Right.
43:21This deserves another round.
43:23Oh, yes.
43:23Make mine a shandy.
43:24I'm in the mood to celebrate.
43:26Yeah.
43:27Oh, I'm so proud of you, Annie, Sandra.
43:30Oh, finally.
43:32I can get back to some real journalism.
43:34And enough of all these silly scarecrow's.
43:37Not that I was scared.
43:38Ah!
43:42Oh, get up.
43:44Becky.
43:47Oh, please.
43:48Oh, please.
43:49Stand back to me.
43:50No, please.
43:51You're a madwoman.
43:52Get away from me.
43:55Stop!
43:56You fucking hell.
43:58What?
43:59What?
43:59What?
44:00What?
44:00What?
44:01What?
44:01Oh, my God.
44:03Oh, my God.
44:03Oh, my God.
44:05Oh, my God.
44:07Oh, my God.
44:08Oh, my God.
44:10Oh, my God.
44:11Oh, my God.
44:17Oh, my God.
44:19Oh, my God.
