00:00:00Oh
00:00:30Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Archie.
00:00:34Need I remind you, Miss Gillen, this is a no-smoking club?
00:00:38Apologies for my daughter, Wilf.
00:00:40She gets the attitude from her father.
00:00:42That's why I divorced him.
00:00:44That and the fact you ran off with your hairdresser.
00:00:46Which was devastating.
00:00:48Best hairdresser I ever had, excuse me.
00:01:00That's good.
00:01:02Yeah, that's great.
00:01:03Then the players in the back, maybe with the...
00:01:04Come a bit this way.
00:01:07Okay.
00:01:08Oh, it's okay.
00:01:08Just, yeah, that's nice.
00:01:09Is that okay?
00:01:10Yeah, that's great.
00:01:11It's great.
00:01:11Just smile a bit.
00:01:12Love it.
00:01:12Do that.
00:01:14Oh, I'm so, I'm so sorry.
00:01:25Excuse me, I'm just...
00:01:26Sorry, sorry.
00:01:27Jenny, just relax.
00:01:30Oh, okay.
00:01:31Just for the club website.
00:01:31Okay, all right, let's just get over it.
00:01:33Yeah, all right.
00:01:34That is great.
00:01:36You can polish your balls all you like, Dale, but you'll know you're a marbles man underneath.
00:01:40Archie, mate.
00:01:42Show these amateurs how it's done.
00:01:43My pleasure.
00:01:52Oh, tension getting to you, isn't it?
00:01:56Never.
00:01:57Come on, my beauty.
00:02:05Nice one.
00:02:06Monster of work.
00:02:07Actually, I think mine's nearest.
00:02:09How old are you, Wilf?
00:02:10Black ball closer.
00:02:24Archie's team wins.
00:02:25What?
00:02:26No way, are you joking?
00:02:27Fix.
00:02:28They never lie.
00:02:30Chloe, you know the membership rules as well as the rest of us.
00:02:32Referee's decision is final.
00:02:34Yeah, but my ball's closer.
00:02:35Oh, he's right.
00:02:37Just a bunch of cheats.
00:02:38I'm sick of this farce.
00:02:39Are you going to let him get away with this, Ruth?
00:02:40Leave it out, mate.
00:02:41Ban him, Ruth.
00:02:42Ban him.
00:02:42Okay, let's just calm it.
00:02:44It's only a knockabout.
00:02:46Save your energy for the championship finals, okay?
00:02:49You.
00:02:49I want a word.
00:02:56All right, champ.
00:03:15Bunch of losers, that one.
00:03:18Lovely evening for it.
00:03:45I want a word.
00:04:15No, no, no, no, no.
00:04:45No, no, no, no.
00:05:15No, no, no, no.
00:05:17Betty?
00:05:19Good morning, Winter.
00:05:21Betty, I think I've cracked 18.
00:05:23Listen.
00:05:25Now, 4 times 4 equals 16 plus 4 is 20 minus the square root of 4, which is 2, equals 18.
00:05:34Well done, darling.
00:05:36The 4-4 math challenge, remember it well.
00:05:3819?
00:05:40Oh, I think we've got to get to work, haven't we, Winter?
00:05:43Yes, we do, Skip.
00:05:44Oh, sorry, darling.
00:05:46Get me Jackie.
00:05:484 factorial, 24 minus 4 minus 4 over 4, 19.
00:05:54She knows.
00:05:55Betty's actually up to 53, but John's more likely to let her stay up late tonight if he feels like he's out.
00:06:02That's top maths that, sir.
00:06:03Well done.
00:06:04Oh, thank you.
00:06:05And I'm actually more of a Shakespeare man, really.
00:06:08Sweet.
00:06:09Oh, thank you.
00:06:10Okay.
00:06:11Oh, thank you.
00:06:12Oh, thank you.
00:06:29Oh, thank you.
00:06:30orthy is William Wilf Worrell.
00:06:31Atey widower, retired, antiques dealer and grounds movie.
00:06:36I've never really understood the fascination with bowls.
00:06:40Really, I love a bit of bowling. It's a bit of my granddad all the time.
00:06:43You know, it dates back to the 13th century.
00:06:45It's surprisingly skilled. It's all in the wrist action.
00:06:49Right.
00:07:03Great. More numbers.
00:07:05Morning, Fleur.
00:07:07Morning.
00:07:09Quite a mouthful. Was that to silence him?
00:07:12Whatever it was for, it wasn't the cause of death.
00:07:15That's PBI.
00:07:17Penetrating brain injury to you.
00:07:19Caused by these.
00:07:22Measuring calipers.
00:07:23Thrust into the nasal cavity with considerable force.
00:07:26Indications of cranial penetration and associated cerebral trauma.
00:07:31Triggering intracranial haemorrhage.
00:07:34Victim could have had them on him.
00:07:37Or they might have been taken from the outhouse over there.
00:07:41Time of death?
00:07:46Judging from the lividity of the bruising round the nostrils, I'd say we're talking early evening.
00:07:52What about these markers? Looks like the victim placed them there himself.
00:07:55A score?
00:07:56As in a score to settle.
00:07:58One thing at a time, Winter.
00:08:00Mobile phone?
00:08:01No sign of one.
00:08:02Or any other personal effect.
00:08:04Who found him?
00:08:05Ah.
00:08:06That would be the Dawn Chorus Yoga Club.
00:08:10Yes.
00:08:11Yoga teacher Jenny Pollock.
00:08:15Along with mother and daughter Ruth and Chloe Gillan.
00:08:18Mumber Ruth is a GP and the bowling club president.
00:08:22I've met her at many a medical get to go.
00:08:34Ruth Gillan?
00:08:39Was Wilf Warrell a mainstay of the club?
00:08:41He was indeed.
00:08:42Too much so, really.
00:08:44In what way?
00:08:45Oh, Wilf should have retired years ago.
00:08:47He wasn't a well man.
00:08:49Thyroid issues mainly.
00:08:51And I finally got him to agree to a course of statins and beta blockers.
00:08:55He'd also reluctantly accepted that he needed some help here.
00:08:58And who might that be?
00:09:00Libby.
00:09:01Libby Trevor, local horticulturalist.
00:09:03Amazing at what she does and the patience of a saint with Wilf.
00:09:06Do you need to get that?
00:09:10No.
00:09:11It's just the surgery.
00:09:12Chasing.
00:09:17Did anyone not have patience with Wilf?
00:09:19Well, he wasn't the easiest person to be fair.
00:09:22Things got a bit heated yesterday.
00:09:25Ollie Peterson wasn't happy with Wilf's refereeing.
00:09:28Because?
00:09:29I thought he'd won.
00:09:30Wilf's measurements indicated otherwise.
00:09:32Measurements made with callipers by any chance?
00:09:34Yes.
00:09:35Lucas really kicked off.
00:09:37Accusing us all of cheating.
00:09:39Lucas who?
00:09:40Shaw.
00:09:41Runs Midsummer Mocha.
00:09:43Brand new trendy coffee place.
00:09:45Not everyone's cup of tea.
00:09:47Or coffee.
00:09:49And did Mr Worrell cheat?
00:09:51Not possibly, but Lucas overreacted.
00:09:55He's intense and a bit pushy.
00:09:58Maybe it's all that caffeine.
00:10:00Most of us are open to new ideas, but Wilf, however, wasn't.
00:10:05So when Lucas got a youngster's bowling team together, Wilf resisted their entrance to the club and tried to get them thrown out.
00:10:13For what?
00:10:14Anything.
00:10:15Breaking dress regulation codes, match etiquette rules, breathing, you name it.
00:10:24Why is the bowling club up for sale?
00:10:26Well, our finances are perilous.
00:10:29Membership's fallen off the edge of a cliff.
00:10:31Mainly because people insist on dying.
00:10:35Quite.
00:10:36Archie Pollock's on a roll.
00:10:39Championship winning captain for the last 12 years.
00:10:42I see he also won in 1926.
00:10:45Oh, his grandfather.
00:10:46He comes from a long line of Archies.
00:10:48A load of Pollocks, some might say.
00:10:52Only ever threatened by Captain Curve himself, Teddy Mulcahy.
00:10:58Who's no longer with us, but their rivalry was legendary.
00:11:01Best not mention him in front of Archie.
00:11:03I'll try not to.
00:11:05Jenny Pollock, Chloe Gillan, DS Winter.
00:11:08Guilty as charged.
00:11:10And, er, you are?
00:11:13Libby Trevor, groundswoman.
00:11:16There you go.
00:11:17Sorry, erm...
00:11:18Excuse me.
00:11:19Sorry.
00:11:20Lois, excuse me, you can't stand there.
00:11:24Can you tell me what you were doing here this morning?
00:11:27I run a sunrise yoga class here twice a week.
00:11:30Oh.
00:11:31My mum approved it.
00:11:32She was keen to bring in some extra egg on you.
00:11:34Wolf opposed it, of course.
00:11:36Wasn't happy about us using the green.
00:11:38Wolf wasn't happy about anything.
00:11:40Tanker of a soul goat.
00:11:41Safe to say you're not a fan, then.
00:11:43Oppressive detective skills, DS Winter.
00:11:45The Bowling Green is the only place in the area we can do it.
00:11:48It's perfect, and it's gone down well with the majority of locals.
00:11:51It's because you're insanely brilliant.
00:11:52I mean, personally, I could do without seeing Dale and his downward dog at the crack of dawn twice a week.
00:11:56But, I mean, Jenny's done more for this community than pretty much anyone else.
00:12:0281.
00:12:03Does that number mean anything to you?
00:12:06Someone's age, a house number perhaps?
00:12:08Not that I know of.
00:12:10Mr. Worrell.
00:12:11Did he own a mobile phone?
00:12:13Oh, definitely not.
00:12:14Old school.
00:12:15Dinosaur, more like.
00:12:16Jenny.
00:12:17Oh.
00:12:18Are you okay?
00:12:19I just heard it's terrible.
00:12:20I know.
00:12:21Well, let's get you home.
00:12:22Has anyone shown interest in buying the club?
00:12:23Two bids so far.
00:12:24Flash Harry being one of them.
00:12:25Harry Peterson.
00:12:26Architect, property magnate and entrepreneur.
00:12:27Sporty car.
00:12:28Moved to the village a year ago with his son Ollie.
00:12:29The same Ollie who plays bowls.
00:12:30Ollie's sweet, whereas his dad has made no secret of his intention to expand his property
00:12:33empire around here.
00:12:34We figure it'll be fine.
00:12:35It's fine.
00:12:36It's fine.
00:12:37It's fine.
00:12:38It's fine.
00:12:39It's fine.
00:12:40It's fine.
00:12:41It's fine.
00:12:42It's fine.
00:12:43It's fine.
00:12:44It's fine.
00:12:45It's fine.
00:12:46It's fine.
00:12:47We figure it'll raise the club to the ground, build some modern monstrosity and sell it
00:12:52for millions.
00:12:53Apparently, Jack and Will thought otherwise.
00:12:56They were saying yesterday that Harry's bid is dead in the water.
00:12:59Jack?
00:13:00Oh, club accountant.
00:13:02Archie's son.
00:13:03He was here yesterday?
00:13:04Taking photos to promote his wife's yoga studio.
00:13:07I really must make a move if that's okay.
00:13:10Oh, by all means.
00:13:11And who is the other potential buyer you mentioned too?
00:13:14We have absolutely no idea.
00:13:16An anonymous bidder.
00:13:17I think it's fair to say that Mr. Worrell wasn't the most popular person in the village.
00:13:23Indeed.
00:13:24Generational conflict.
00:13:25Sporting rivalry.
00:13:26A spat with Lucas Shaw.
00:13:27Soccer on the way to Mr. Worrell's house now.
00:13:30I'll follow.
00:13:31Check his financials and get on to the council.
00:13:33I want to know who's behind this anonymous bid to buy the bowling club.
00:13:36And pay a visit to Lucas Shaw at Midsummer Mocha.
00:13:39Oh, I'd love to.
00:13:40I'm really into my coffee at the moment, sir.
00:13:42I've become a bit of a Java junkie.
00:13:44A what?
00:13:45A roast ranger, sir.
00:13:46Bean aficionado?
00:13:48Well, keep it to yourself, Winter.
00:13:50I'll speak to Jack Pollock, see what he knows.
00:13:52Bye.
00:13:53Bye.
00:13:54So, where were you last night then?
00:13:57Never mind me.
00:13:58Where were you?
00:13:59Pub, then boringly tucked in bed with a book.
00:14:02You, you.
00:14:03Dr. Dirty stop out.
00:14:04Didn't make it home at a notice.
00:14:06Well, for your information, I went back to the surgery to a mountain of paperwork and some midnight oil.
00:14:12Ah, is that what they call it these days?
00:14:14I mean, I believe you.
00:14:15Millions wouldn't.
00:14:16What's not with you home alone, anyway?
00:14:18Well, you're not still holding out for that flash, Harry, are you?
00:14:21Of course not.
00:14:23Maybe a smidge.
00:14:24Well, he's fun, he's charismatic, bloated.
00:14:27And I'm really well with his son.
00:14:29And, uh, Dale?
00:14:30Please, Mother.
00:14:31He's a glorified man with a van.
00:14:33He's not even a contender.
00:14:35Hi, Harry.
00:14:36Hi, ladies.
00:14:39I mean, seriously.
00:14:41What's not to like?
00:14:43See you later.
00:14:46Wow.
00:14:52Who died?
00:14:55Chloe, can you not?
00:14:57Positivity, please.
00:14:59There's positivity and there's delusion.
00:15:02You've got to admit, Wilf's death on top of already being boycotted by 90% of the locals,
00:15:07it's not a good look.
00:15:09Maybe this place isn't ready for a coffee revolution.
00:15:12We'll just have to work harder, then.
00:15:14Today, Mr. Medeveral.
00:15:17Tomorrow, the world.
00:15:20You say so, coffee man.
00:15:22I do.
00:15:24I do say so.
00:15:25There's police crawling everywhere.
00:15:41Libby, calm down.
00:15:42Didn't you hear what I said?
00:15:44They're all over the place.
00:15:45What are we going to do?
00:15:46I tell you what we're not going to do.
00:15:47We're not going to panic.
00:15:49We're going to stay calm and carry on as planned.
00:15:52Okay?
00:15:53Tell me, does the number 81 mean anything to you?
00:16:05Relating to Bowles, possibly?
00:16:08No.
00:16:09No, not at all.
00:16:10About the bids to buy the club.
00:16:12I gather you and Mr. Worrell no longer believe that Harry Peterson's bid is a goer.
00:16:19That's correct.
00:16:20I have a friend on the council who told me they'd reject any bid that wanted to build residential property on the land.
00:16:26Which is Mr. Peterson's plan.
00:16:29That's what he does for a living.
00:16:33Look, I was told in confidence, but made the mistake of telling Wilf who wanted to blab it to the world.
00:16:40Which could have ruined everything.
00:16:41Does Harry Peterson know about this?
00:16:44Might Mr. Worrell have blabbed about it to him?
00:16:48Very possibly.
00:16:49Wilf was nothing if not a stirrer.
00:16:52I'll need an address for Mr. Peterson if you have it.
00:16:55Sure.
00:16:56And would Mr. Worrell blabbing be annoying for you?
00:17:00Well, it's my own fault really.
00:17:03I should have known better than to trust him.
00:17:05Can you tell me what you did last night after the game?
00:17:08Well, I've been taking photos of Jenny for her yoga and then I dropped her home and went to the Swan.
00:17:14A few of us did.
00:17:16These photos, were they taken around the club generally?
00:17:18Yeah.
00:17:19All over, just snaps really.
00:17:21Might I see them?
00:17:22You might have captured something without knowing it.
00:17:24Sure.
00:17:25I'll send them over to you.
00:17:27Big match tomorrow.
00:17:28The match.
00:17:29Climax of the season.
00:17:30Gone right to the wire.
00:17:31Could be the last championship ever if the club goes.
00:17:32And potentially your 13th.
00:17:33Quite a record.
00:17:34Rivalled only by Teddy Mulcahy, I believe.
00:17:35Mulcahy.
00:17:36Mulcahy.
00:17:37All mouth and no trousers.
00:17:38A pretender.
00:17:39A mountebank.
00:17:40Which is why I don't plan on letting any of those youths win tomorrow.
00:17:41Versus first, second is nowhere.
00:17:42Isn't that right Jack?
00:17:43In one, Dad.
00:17:44You'll need a strong referee, I suspect.
00:17:45We will.
00:17:46Bloody selfish and will not be around if you ask me.
00:17:47Dad.
00:17:48What?
00:17:49Just saying.
00:17:50You look after the club, I'll sort the bowls.
00:17:52Everything all right, Mr Pollock?
00:17:53Just a twinch.
00:17:54There's something wrong with you.
00:17:55No, it's fine.
00:17:56And it's all right.
00:17:57Right?
00:17:58No, it's all right.
00:17:59No, it's all right.
00:18:00No, it's all right.
00:18:01No, it's all right.
00:18:02No, it'll be a refinanced.
00:18:03This is all right.
00:18:04No, I'll be afraid.
00:18:05Yes, it's all right.
00:18:06Now makes me a difference.
00:18:07It's all right.
00:18:08No, it's all right.
00:18:09Let's go.
00:18:10Let's go.
00:18:11I don't know.
00:18:12I don't know.
00:18:13Down in the woods.
00:18:14No.
00:18:15I don't know.
00:18:16I don't know.
00:18:17But if I don't know.
00:18:18Are youusting?
00:18:19You need a new room.
00:18:20No, it's fine.
00:18:50No, it's fine.
00:19:20How did you get on at Mr. Worrell's?
00:19:25Nice cottage, full of antiques, but then he was a dealer.
00:19:30Clearly a successful one.
00:19:31His financials came back, all in good shape.
00:19:34Something I suspect that house clearance expert-cum-ambulance chaser Dale McManus might be interested in.
00:19:41Caught him snooping around.
00:19:42Check him out.
00:19:44Also, Mr. Worrell had an old school landline.
00:19:47The last person to call him at five o'clock yesterday was Flash Harry Peas.
00:19:51Ah, just as well I'm about to meet him.
00:20:01I knocked, but, uh...
00:20:05Is your dad here?
00:20:08Said he'd be back soon.
00:20:13You know, if you're a bit of a maths buff, maybe you can help me with something.
00:20:17Is there anything special about the number 81?
00:20:20Nine square, three to the power of four.
00:20:22This is all about bowling?
00:20:27It is, I'm, uh...
00:20:28To protect the part of the bowling ball tech.
00:20:33Accurity is everything.
00:20:34Unless the rest is cheating.
00:20:37I take it you're referring to Mr. Worrell?
00:20:40Why might he do that, do you think?
00:20:42Pick on some breaking rules.
00:20:44Not let us book practice greens.
00:20:46He really had it in for us.
00:20:48As a result, perhaps someone had it in for him.
00:20:54Can I help?
00:20:56Yeah.
00:21:10Excuse me.
00:21:13What the hell are those for?
00:21:15Mushroom coffee.
00:21:16It's the next big thing.
00:21:18You can't just pick wild mushrooms, experiment, and sell it as coffee.
00:21:22There are rules and regulations.
00:21:24We have to do this properly.
00:21:26We'll never get investment from someone like Harry Peterson.
00:21:29Hi.
00:21:30Hey.
00:21:32D.S. Winter.
00:21:32Cool since the ID.
00:21:34What can we get you?
00:21:35How about this one?
00:21:37Parisa.
00:21:38It's a nutty bean responsibly sourced from a cooperative in Nicaragua.
00:21:41Or perhaps you fancy a Brazilian?
00:21:43Yes.
00:21:43Yes.
00:21:43Yes, maybe, maybe in a minute.
00:21:49How has the cafe been received so far?
00:21:54Wilf despised us and, generally speaking, a destination coffee shop isn't exactly top of the village wish list.
00:22:02Most people here are still wedded to powdered instant and a kettle.
00:22:05Same at the bowling club.
00:22:07Their website's like somewhere from the dark ages.
00:22:09Jack did the puzzles, Wilf did the jokes, everyone a belter.
00:22:13We joined hoping to encourage some cross-fertilization.
00:22:16No, we're doing okay on the cross bit.
00:22:18Less on the fertilization.
00:22:19How did you get into coffee?
00:22:23Well, I was a barista champion.
00:22:28I worked in cafes all over the world.
00:22:31Madrid, Ecuador, Guatemala.
00:22:34Got tired of working for other people.
00:22:36And my family are from around here, so.
00:22:38This is my dream.
00:22:40I'll do anything to make it work.
00:22:43What did you do after the game last night?
00:22:45Mr. McManus said something about going to the pub.
00:22:47Yeah, a bunch of us did.
00:22:49I'll need a list.
00:22:50And, uh, one of those.
00:22:53Uh, yeah, yeah, sure.
00:22:57The bright kid, your son?
00:22:59Doesn't get it from me.
00:23:01Really?
00:23:02I heard that you were a successful architect turned property magnate.
00:23:06I can talk the talk, but I'm no good at maths.
00:23:09Not on Ollie's league, anyway.
00:23:11You know, he's just still a teenager, but he's already been in touch with the European Space Agency
00:23:15about a mentorship scheme they run.
00:23:16Oh, impressive.
00:23:18Is it just the two of you?
00:23:20It is.
00:23:22Money can buy lots of things, but it seems happiness is not one of them.
00:23:27Ollie's mum lives abroad.
00:23:29He misses her, and, uh, well, he retreated into physics, quantum mechanics, and the multiverse.
00:23:36He's become quite introverted.
00:23:37And yet he's a member of the bowling club.
00:23:40Yes.
00:23:41A godsend.
00:23:42When the coffee guys wanted to recruit a youngster, Chloe Gillan took a punt on Ollie, and he hasn't looked back.
00:23:48Swapped one obsession, orbital trajectories in space, for another.
00:23:52Lorne Bowles.
00:23:53Who knew?
00:23:55He loves it.
00:23:56But he didn't love Mr. Worrell, though.
00:23:58No.
00:23:59But, to be honest, it's good for Ollie to meet old duffers like that.
00:24:03Life isn't always fair, and the sooner he learns that, the better.
00:24:06Where were you last night, around six o'clock?
00:24:13I picked Ollie up from the bowling club and then came home.
00:24:16And when did you last talk to Mr. Worrell?
00:24:18Yesterday, on the phone.
00:24:20About?
00:24:22Mainly, he wanted to gloat about how I wasn't going to win the bid.
00:24:25Something about council opposition to residential property.
00:24:28That must have been galling.
00:24:30Not really.
00:24:31He said I was doing anything residential.
00:24:33What are your plans, then?
00:24:35My plans are confidential and, for the moment, academic.
00:24:41With all due respect, I'd prefer to keep it that way, if that's all right.
00:24:45For the time being, yes.
00:24:49Ollie, everything all right?
00:24:53Teenagers, eh?
00:24:54Hormones and all that.
00:24:56Does your son make a habit of lashing out?
00:25:02Oh, did you get me a coffee?
00:25:04No.
00:25:05No, I'm taste testing.
00:25:06Now, I get gooseberry, but I'm not getting a hint of hibiscus.
00:25:11Tastes like pencil shavings to me.
00:25:13I had no idea you ate pencils.
00:25:15I, um, I checked on Dale McManus, our house clearance expert, and he's had fines for fly-tipping and was once accused of identity theft, but nothing was ever proven.
00:25:24Interesting.
00:25:25Interesting.
00:25:25And also, the council got back to me about an honest bidder, H. Appleby.
00:25:31Well, do some digging.
00:25:32And while you're at it, see if Harry Peterson has been involved in anything non-residential.
00:25:38Hmm, I'll do.
00:25:38Oh, also, I got you something, sir.
00:25:42It's a steam wand.
00:25:45Milk frother for your coffee.
00:25:47It aerates the milk.
00:25:49Makes it creamier.
00:25:50I'll bear that in mind.
00:26:01Fleur wants a word.
00:26:02Glad you could join.
00:26:12I'm working on the numbers.
00:26:14Do you have any cryptic word games while waiting for lab results, Fleur?
00:26:19You don't get to be head of Causton Cadaver's PubQuiz team without practice.
00:26:26So pay attention.
00:26:27It could be a letters-to-numbers code.
00:26:31A1, B2, and so on.
00:26:33So if it is, A1 would be...
00:26:35H-A.
00:26:37It could be the start of Harry.
00:26:39You're our anonymous bidder, H. Appleby.
00:26:42Whoever they may be.
00:26:46The victim held one of the markers as if he placed him on the ground himself.
00:26:51Was he trying to help identify his killer?
00:26:52That implies Mr. Worrell, after having caliparins thrust into his brain...
00:26:58Had time to think of the idea and execute it before dying.
00:27:02I can check, but I suspect death was instantaneous.
00:27:06It would also imply that the killer left the scene without checking the victim was dead.
00:27:11Possible, but careless.
00:27:12Okay, so...
00:27:14Alternatively...
00:27:15Well, the killer put the markers on the ground as if Mr. Worrell had done so himself.
00:27:21To point the finger?
00:27:21To someone else.
00:27:23Exactly.
00:27:24There's something odd about these photos.
00:27:28They're numbered JPEGs, but there's quite a few of them missing.
00:27:31Why wouldn't Mr. Pollard just send all of them?
00:27:33Maybe he deleted some as he went.
00:27:35Maybe.
00:27:36In this one, the outhouse door is locked, but it was open at the crime scene.
00:27:42Well, maybe he unlocked it after people left.
00:27:44Yeah, maybe.
00:27:46Well, someone else could have.
00:27:47Apart from Mr. Worrell, who else would have keys?
00:27:50His colleague, Libby Trevor.
00:27:52Ah, the horticulturalist with the patience of a saint.
00:27:56Let's talk to her.
00:27:57Is the yoga meeting good?
00:28:09Yeah, fab.
00:28:10I'll grab coffees.
00:28:13Hi, Claude.
00:28:15Two lattes, please.
00:28:16Chat with you now, is he?
00:28:18Not Harry?
00:28:19No, the good-looking, very successful, super-minted Harry.
00:28:23No, why would he be?
00:28:24Good question.
00:28:26Do you know what?
00:28:27Forget the coffees.
00:28:29Let's go.
00:28:30What is it?
00:28:31Nothing.
00:28:34Yeah, cheers, dear.
00:28:36What are you doing here?
00:28:45I've done the emergency appointments.
00:28:47You want to answer in my course?
00:28:48You've been busy.
00:28:49I'm not here.
00:28:50I'll see you later.
00:28:54I don't know.
00:28:55We have to be careful.
00:28:57Do we?
00:28:58Why?
00:28:58Who cares?
00:28:59Well, I do.
00:29:00And Wulf did, didn't he?
00:29:02Oh, Wulf's not a problem anymore, is he?
00:29:05Look, um, maybe we should just leave it, you know?
00:29:10We had our fun.
00:29:11I mean, it's no big deal, is it?
00:29:14And you are that bit younger than me.
00:29:17What's that got to do with anything?
00:29:18Well, I thought, um, maybe, maybe you liked Chloe?
00:29:26Based on...
00:29:28You two flirting earlier.
00:29:30A correction that your daughter flirt in.
00:29:32She'll do for England, by the way.
00:29:33Literally anyone.
00:29:34It's, it's absolutely fine if you do, but if that is the case, then I'd rather we drew the line now.
00:29:42I'm not into Chloe.
00:29:45Wulf.
00:29:48The last few weeks with you have meant a lot to me.
00:29:51So can I see you tonight?
00:29:53Please?
00:29:54Sure.
00:29:56Sure.
00:29:56Afternoon, Miss Trevor. May we come in?
00:30:22Yes.
00:30:24Er, sorry about all the plans.
00:30:26They, they calm me, and I like the scents.
00:30:31Well, personally, I'm getting a rather strong aroma of vanilla.
00:30:35I don't know what that can be.
00:30:38How did you get on with Mr. Worrell?
00:30:41Well, um, yeah, great.
00:30:45He taught me everything I know.
00:30:47And he was like a mentor to me, really, especially when I first moved into the area.
00:30:51And when was that?
00:30:53Four years ago this summer.
00:30:54I was on my own.
00:30:57I fell in with the bowling brigade.
00:30:59And I wanted to firm that up somehow.
00:31:01So I, I became the groundswoman.
00:31:02I gather Mr. Worrell could be quite difficult.
00:31:05Well, no, not at all.
00:31:09Who told you that?
00:31:11Ruth Gillan said he wasn't the easiest person to work for.
00:31:13Well, he was great.
00:31:15I mean, working with someone from a different generation has its challenges, right?
00:31:21The, um, the outhouse at the bowling club, I assume you have a set of keys?
00:31:28Yes.
00:31:28Who else has?
00:31:29Uh, no one.
00:31:31Just me and Wilf.
00:31:33Why?
00:31:33Because we believe whoever killed him might have had access to the outhouse.
00:31:36Maybe Wilf just left it open?
00:31:38We heard that a number of you went to the Swan last night.
00:31:41Did you all come and go at the same time?
00:31:42Sure.
00:31:44Oh, apart from Dale.
00:31:46Yeah, he left early.
00:31:47Did he now?
00:31:55Dale didn't say anything about leaving the pub early when I asked, did?
00:31:57Keep digging.
00:31:58Likewise, Miss Trevor, she's on edge.
00:32:01She's lying about something.
00:32:13Don't you go, don't you?
00:32:33...
00:32:35I don't know.
00:33:05I don't know.
00:33:35I don't know.
00:34:05I don't remember much, to be honest.
00:34:31Well, try and remember if you can, Dad. It's important.
00:34:35I was walking into the living room, and next thing I know, you're all here.
00:34:43Do you recall seeing anyone? Did you notice anything untoward?
00:34:48Just that the painting that was on the wall was missing.
00:34:54Wilf loved that painting.
00:34:55And what exactly were you doing here?
00:34:58Wilf was a good friend. I came to pay my respects.
00:35:02How did you get in?
00:35:03The front door was open.
00:35:05Didn't you think that was odd?
00:35:07No, not really.
00:35:09Wilf could be forgetful.
00:35:10I'm sorry, but I think we need to take Archie to hospital just to get him checked over.
00:35:15Jack?
00:35:15Yeah, I agree.
00:35:16No, no hospital. The paramedic said I'm fine.
00:35:19I just want to go home.
00:35:21I need a good night's sleep before the match.
00:35:23Maybe we should think about cancelling the match, Dad.
00:35:25It's not like you're up against a Teddy McCarney.
00:35:26Never mind him, and don't be such a loser, Jack.
00:35:30Your mother would turn in her grave if I didn't play.
00:35:32Would she, though? Really?
00:35:33Yes, she would, and don't you ever forget it.
00:35:37First is first, and second is nowhere.
00:35:48Which reminds me, Jenny, we'll need a referee for tomorrow.
00:35:50As someone who understands how important it is to get the right result.
00:35:55I'll do my best, but I'm not Wilf.
00:36:01Your father claims to compete in your mother's memory, but you don't think so?
00:36:06No, he competes to prove he's the man.
00:36:08Got to see off the rivals.
00:36:10Like Teddy Mulcahy?
00:36:12A rival in every sense.
00:36:14Meaning?
00:36:15The whole village knew Teddy carried a torch for Mum.
00:36:18I don't think there was anything in it, but after she'd passed, beating him mattered more than ever.
00:36:24More than being there for his son?
00:36:25I guess.
00:36:40There's no sign of a break-in.
00:36:41The back door was locked, but this door was open.
00:36:44It was when Archie Pollock arrived.
00:36:46It was definitely locked when I was here earlier. I checked.
00:36:48Meaning whoever assaulted Mr. Pollock had a set of keys.
00:36:53Maybe the killer took them from Mr. Worrell at the bowling club.
00:36:57How was this called in?
00:36:59999. No name given.
00:37:00Unusual for a killer to ring 999.
00:37:03Unless whoever did this isn't our killer.
00:37:06Maybe Mr. Pollock just disturbed a burglar stealing a painting.
00:37:10Like, for example, the house clearance expert that was sniffing around the cottage earlier.
00:37:14Speculation, Winter. But let's pay Mr. McManus a visit.
00:37:19I just want to have a quick look round.
00:37:21Archie Pollock said that he came here to pay his respects.
00:37:24Seems like an odd thing to do.
00:37:25Especially given that when I saw him earlier, he seemed more concerned about his good friend not being able to referee tomorrow than he was about him being dead.
00:37:33So he didn't come here to pay his respects.
00:37:36Then why was he here?
00:37:37Yeah.
00:37:37Yeah.
00:37:44No, I can do the job. But it's got to be done by tomorrow afternoon. I'm tied up in the morning.
00:38:06Okay. Okay. I'll do it as soon as I can. Deal.
00:38:14I need a word. The, um, quality pieces that you said Wilf Worrell owned, that you were curious about, did that include a painting?
00:38:22Yeah, a few. But one that was definitely worth a few, Bob, yeah.
00:38:25The one in the kitchen? Is that what you were gawping at through the window when I saw you?
00:38:29No.
00:38:30Tell me, if your job is being familiar with objects and their valuations, how much is that painting worth?
00:38:36At auction? Who knows? For insurance purposes, it's got to be in the region of 10k, maybe more.
00:38:41Tempting. And it's just been stolen.
00:38:44And whoever stole it assaulted Archie Pollock.
00:38:46I get it. You think I took the painting and then assaulted Archie?
00:38:50If I'd stolen it, would I just tell you it was worth 10k?
00:38:53You might if it was worth more.
00:38:54You'll be my guest in check. I'm sure you will anyway.
00:38:57Anything else? If not, I'd like to go home.
00:39:02There is something else, actually. When I asked you where you were last night, you said you were at the pub.
00:39:07I was.
00:39:08You left early. Where did you go?
00:39:10Home.
00:39:12I was tired.
00:39:14Can I go now?
00:39:15People.
00:39:29I was tired.
00:39:30I was tired.
00:39:33I was tired.
00:39:41I was tired.
00:39:42Honestly, Jamie, I love it.
00:39:57Good.
00:39:58I was practising all last night, which kept John and I awake,
00:40:02trying to catch up with Betty on the four fours.
00:40:04I think 73's the closest we've come to divorce.
00:40:07Right, what do you think?
00:40:08That's pretty good.
00:40:13Oh, here's Einstein.
00:40:15Oh, morning, sir.
00:40:16Jamie's just been telling me all about grinders and tumpers.
00:40:18Have you now?
00:40:19Well, I hate to interrupt coffee morning winter, but we have work to do.
00:40:23Are you planning a holiday, sir?
00:40:25Uh, research, actually.
00:40:28Something Jack Pollock mentioned about starting a new life.
00:40:32Several developments overnight, sir.
00:40:34Harry Peterson doesn't just do residential.
00:40:36He's a partner in a chain of healthcare centres across Europe.
00:40:40Also, he's trying to buy some woodland on the edge of the village,
00:40:43but the application doesn't say what for.
00:40:45The bowling club and woodland.
00:40:46He clearly wants to make his mark.
00:40:48As for the other bidder, H is for Holly Appleby,
00:40:51and she's proving quite elusive.
00:40:52All I can find is a P.O. box in Midsummer Parva.
00:40:55We'll find out when she got the P.O. box.
00:40:57Yeah, we'll do so.
00:40:58Also, there was a message on Wilford's answer machine that you need to hear.
00:41:02It was left by Dale McManus two days ago.
00:41:05I'll keep this brief.
00:41:07I'm sick of it, and I've told you loads.
00:41:08Back off roof.
00:41:09You're a dead man.
00:41:12Prophetic, to say the least.
00:41:21Get him, Tiger.
00:41:23And Ollie, if you don't win, it's okay.
00:41:25Right?
00:41:26I heard about the assault.
00:41:45Are you okay?
00:41:47Perfectly fine.
00:41:48Thanks to you.
00:41:49Enjoyed last night?
00:41:58Me too.
00:42:00No, I'm tired of hiding.
00:42:02Not that gun.
00:42:04I had a fault this morning.
00:42:07We'll just go somewhere else.
00:42:08Start fresh.
00:42:10I'm serious.
00:42:12Are you playing games with me?
00:42:13After this, I've got a job to do.
00:42:18Then I'm free.
00:42:21What'd you say?
00:42:22What are we waiting for?
00:42:23Oi!
00:42:24Dale!
00:42:25Chop, chop!
00:42:26You need to get your eye in.
00:42:29Aren't you, mate?
00:42:30How's the head?
00:42:30All right.
00:42:32I've got my money on him.
00:42:34Check with Jack Pollock about the rest of the pictures he took.
00:42:37The ones he didn't send us.
00:42:38Yeah, we'll do so.
00:42:45Everything all right?
00:42:46Oh, just worried about Archie, that's all.
00:42:49Tell me, how far do you think he'd go to win today?
00:42:52Oh, as far as needs be.
00:42:55That's what worries me.
00:42:57The medication you prescribed for Mr. Worrell, you mentioned statins and beta blockers.
00:43:03Yeah, that's right.
00:43:04If someone else took them, would they, for example, help with an arm tremor?
00:43:08Well, they might, although taking someone else's medication is dangerous.
00:43:16And illegal.
00:43:22Their school, refereeing duties to tend to.
00:43:24Yeah, I'll break a leg.
00:43:26Actually, Jenny.
00:43:33Nothing.
00:43:33Nothing.
00:43:33Ah, Mr. Pollock.
00:43:39Now, those files that you sent us, some of them are missing.
00:43:42Were they?
00:43:43Well, I might have deleted some.
00:43:45Sure, but we'd still like to retrieve them if we can.
00:43:46Okay, can I get them to you later?
00:43:48We can do it now.
00:43:49Just, um, air drop them to me.
00:43:52Yeah, I'm not sure I know how to do that.
00:43:55Back of shape.
00:43:55Have you taken world's meds?
00:44:15Apart from being incredibly irresponsible, you do know that's essentially don't.
00:44:19Should have given me a prescription, then.
00:44:21I have my reputation to think of.
00:44:22So do I.
00:44:23And mine's worth more than yours.
00:44:25Especially since Wilf told me all about you and Dale.
00:44:29Right.
00:44:30Dale.
00:44:30Dale.
00:44:30Heads.
00:44:51All these orbitals, you get to choose ends.
00:44:57Would you east-west, please?
00:44:59Better lie the land.
00:45:00It'll take more than that.
00:45:02Archie, your bowl's whisperers gets to choose who's stars.
00:45:06They can.
00:45:07Right.
00:45:07Let's get ready.
00:45:08Let's get ready.
00:45:30Let's get ready.
00:45:38Let's get ready.
00:45:39Let's get ready.
00:45:39Let's get ready.
00:45:40Let's get ready.
00:45:40Let's get ready.
00:45:41Let's get ready.
00:45:41Let's get ready.
00:45:41Let's get ready.
00:45:42Let's get ready.
00:45:43Let's get ready.
00:45:43Let's get ready.
00:45:44Let's get ready.
00:45:44Let's get ready.
00:45:45Let's get ready.
00:45:45Let's get ready.
00:45:46Let's get ready.
00:45:46Let's get ready.
00:45:47Let's get ready.
00:45:47Let's get ready.
00:45:48Let's get ready.
00:45:48Let's get ready.
00:45:49Let's get ready.
00:45:49Let's get ready.
00:45:50Let's get ready.
00:45:50Let's get ready.
00:45:51Let's get ready.
00:45:51Let's get ready.
00:45:52Let's get ready.
00:45:52Let's get ready.
00:45:53Let's get ready.
00:45:53You were right to check the photos, by the way.
00:46:21The ones that Jack Pollock didn't manage to send us all have one striking thing in common.
00:46:27They all show Archie Pollock arguing with Will Forrell.
00:46:32Yeah.
00:46:34Question is, what about?
00:46:36Let's speak to our bowling legend as soon as this match ends.
00:46:39We're on the deciding end now.
00:46:51We're on the deciding end now.
00:47:21We're on the deciding end now.
00:47:51That's good.
00:47:57Over to you, Jenny.
00:48:16And the winner is...
00:48:30Olly...
00:48:32Yes!
00:48:33Yes!
00:48:34Yes!
00:48:34Yes!
00:48:35Yes!
00:48:36Absolutely!
00:48:37Absolutely!
00:48:38Oh, boy!
00:48:41Here he comes.
00:48:46What was I meant to do?
00:48:55Look, you did the right thing.
00:48:56You are no daughter-in-law of mine!
00:49:01I don't know why you married her.
00:49:04Can you speak to Archie Pollock?
00:49:08I'll talk to Dale McMenus.
00:49:10I will do.
00:49:11Will they?
00:49:12Here.
00:49:23Ready?
00:49:24Oh, yes.
00:49:25That's good.
00:49:28Lovely.
00:49:28Where is Mr. Pollock Senior?
00:49:33He stormed off.
00:49:34Not out front, he didn't.
00:49:35There was a back exit.
00:49:37I think he wanted to avoid people.
00:49:58There was a back exit.
00:50:28There was a back exit.
00:50:58Harry Peterson found the body, called it in, and then went home.
00:51:14Did he now?
00:51:16You'll need a word.
00:51:16I'm guessing you're familiar with the identity of the bookman.
00:51:25I am.
00:51:27Dale McManus.
00:51:29Was it an accident?
00:51:31Hard to be sure, but we're checking the crane cabin for prints.
00:51:35I'll need to confirm, but preliminary indications suggest cause of death was a combination of blunt trauma to the head and compression of the chest area, leading to pneumothorax.
00:51:47Not pleasant.
00:51:52Not just anything missing.
00:51:53It's Van.
00:51:54Perhaps the killer took it.
00:51:56I'll put a marker on its circulator trace.
00:51:59What we do have, though, about 30 metres over there, is a large collection of white goods.
00:52:03Fridge, freezer, washing machine, the whole lot.
00:52:06Fly tipping.
00:52:06Mr. Peterson, it was you who found Dale McManus's body, is that right?
00:52:19Yes, that's right.
00:52:20We're just passing, were you?
00:52:22So soon, after your son's finest hour at the bowling club, seems a bit strange.
00:52:26I'm interested in buying that plot of woodland.
00:52:29I go there sometimes to think over my potential investment.
00:52:32And you just happened across Mr. McManus's body?
00:52:35That's correct, yes.
00:52:36Mr. Peterson, we can confiscate your phone and your computer and find out the real reason you went there,
00:52:42or you could save us some time and just tell us the truth.
00:52:49I was due to meet Jenny Pollock.
00:52:52I'm thinking of building a yoga centre there that she might run.
00:52:56That's very generous of you.
00:52:58Not at all.
00:52:58I'm a businessman.
00:52:59She's very good at what she does.
00:53:01It would be a sound investment.
00:53:03I see.
00:53:04Did Mr. McManus have anything to do with this plan?
00:53:07No, nothing at all.
00:53:08I was late getting there after celebrating with Ollie, and when I arrived, he was just lying there.
00:53:15So if you went to meet Mrs. Pollock, why wasn't she there?
00:53:18I don't know.
00:53:20She texted me to meet her there straight after the final.
00:53:23I didn't send a text to Hardy.
00:53:25Mr. Peterson definitely received one.
00:53:27We saw it.
00:53:32No text.
00:53:34But you could have deleted it.
00:53:36I didn't.
00:53:37Then someone else must have.
00:53:38Who else would have had access to your phone?
00:53:41Presumably you have a passcode.
00:53:431234.
00:53:45Guessable.
00:53:45But anyway, I always have my phone on me.
00:53:48The text was sent at 1124, which is around the time the bowling final was due to start.
00:53:53Did you have your phone on you then?
00:53:55Actually, no.
00:53:57It was in my bag, which I left in the outhouse.
00:53:59So it could have been accessed there by anyone at the bowling match?
00:54:04Yeah, I suppose.
00:54:05This business venture you might be embarking on with Harry Peterson, is it public knowledge?
00:54:10What business venture?
00:54:11I think that answers my question.
00:54:13It's nothing, Jack.
00:54:14Really.
00:54:16Harry's thinking of buying some land and setting up a yoga centre.
00:54:19He has some experience in that area.
00:54:21Healthcare centres across Europe, etc.
00:54:24Exactly.
00:54:24What's that got to do with you?
00:54:26He asked me if I wanted to run it.
00:54:28What?
00:54:28And you didn't tell me because...
00:54:30Because there's nothing to tell.
00:54:32Look, I'm not going to do it.
00:54:33I don't want to get into business with Harry.
00:54:35He's a non-starter.
00:54:39Mr Pollock, the photographs that you didn't send us to begin with showed your father and Mr Worrell arguing.
00:54:47Do you know what about?
00:54:48No, I don't.
00:54:50Was not sending us the photos just an oversight, or did you think they might implicate your father?
00:54:58I was trying to protect him.
00:55:00Because you think he might have killed Mr Worrell?
00:55:02No, of course not.
00:55:03I just...
00:55:03I was worried, I guess.
00:55:05I knew it didn't look good.
00:55:08I know what they were arguing about.
00:55:12Archie told me about it last night as part of trying to get me to cheat on his behalf.
00:55:17He asked Wilf if he could have some of his meds to calm his arm.
00:55:21Wilf said no.
00:55:22So, Mr Pollock stole them after Mr Worrell was killed.
00:55:27Where is your father now?
00:55:29He refuses to be under the same roof as me.
00:55:31He's out walking.
00:55:32He'll be back soon.
00:55:33He'll calm down.
00:55:39Archie Pollock isn't going to calm down any time soon.
00:55:42Winning the bulls meant too much to him.
00:55:44Something to do with unresolved grief about the death of his wife.
00:55:48What do you make of Mr and Mrs Pollock?
00:55:49I'm not sure.
00:55:50If it's just about a yoga centre, they don't see why Mrs Pollock didn't just tell her husband.
00:55:54Well, maybe she knew he'd be suspicious.
00:55:56I mean, she could be lying to cover her tracks.
00:55:59What about Harry Peterson?
00:56:00Well, we can't rule him out.
00:56:01He wouldn't be the first murderer to pretend to have found the body.
00:56:04We can't rule out Archie Pollock either.
00:56:06Keep digging on the Pollock family.
00:56:08It finances, background, everything.
00:56:10Yeah, we'll do.
00:56:10Do you know what Dale was planning on doing after the final?
00:56:13Um, he said he had a job to do, that's all.
00:56:16We needed to talk to him about a message he left on Mr Worrell's answer machine.
00:56:21You were mentioned in that message.
00:56:22We need to know what it was about.
00:56:23What is it, Mum?
00:56:28Dale and I were seeing each other.
00:56:31What?
00:56:33So that's where you were two nights ago?
00:56:36The night Mr Worrell was killed?
00:56:38Yes, me and Dale met up.
00:56:40That would explain why you left the pub early.
00:56:43Why not just say?
00:56:46You could have told me.
00:56:47No, I couldn't.
00:56:48I didn't want it to be public knowledge.
00:56:51Why was that?
00:56:51Well, Chloe's dad ran off with a younger woman.
00:56:55And I was very publicly humiliated and devastated.
00:57:01And even more publicly, a vocal opponent to inappropriately aged relationships.
00:57:08Dale was hardly a babe in arms.
00:57:10He was in his thirties.
00:57:12I'm in my fifties.
00:57:14But also, I just, I didn't want my private life to be the talk of the village again.
00:57:19I hated that.
00:57:20So, I wasn't comfortable going public until I was completely sure about Dale.
00:57:27And were you?
00:57:30Yes.
00:57:31I was now.
00:57:33But when Mr Worrell found out about you two, he threatened to blap.
00:57:37Oh, and some.
00:57:39Wilf was old school.
00:57:41Disapproved.
00:57:42Loved having something over us.
00:57:44Famous for it.
00:57:45Radio Wilf, we called him.
00:57:47No secret was safe.
00:57:48He loved seeing my discomfort, reveled in it.
00:57:51He said the only thing he enjoyed more than dealing antiques was dealing in secrets.
00:57:55And Dale?
00:57:58Lovable hothead that he was.
00:58:02Hated seeing me being manipulated.
00:58:04So, he left a message telling Wilf to keep quiet.
00:58:09His wording was quite severe.
00:58:12That was just Dale being protective.
00:58:14He went in a bit heavy.
00:58:16Didn't mean anything by it.
00:58:19He didn't kill him, if that's what you're thinking.
00:58:22I don't know what you're so worried about, Mum.
00:58:24Not the only one around here misbehaving.
00:58:26Why, um, who else is?
00:58:28Well, Harry and Jenny, for starters.
00:58:32Saw them having a lover's tiff out in the woods.
00:58:34They say that they were discussing a joint business venture.
00:58:37Believe me, what I saw was no business talk.
00:58:40I'm surprised.
00:58:41I thought she'd seen him off.
00:58:42Seen him off?
00:58:43In what way?
00:58:44Well, when Harry moved in, he made no secret of the fact that he was attracted to Jenny.
00:58:49It was the talk of the village.
00:58:50Like Jack's mum and Teddy Mokahi all over again.
00:58:53Jenny fobbed him off.
00:58:55At least we thought she did.
00:58:57Something Mr. Peterson said.
00:59:00Money can't buy happiness.
00:59:03Maybe he was talking about Jenny.
00:59:05How did Jack Pollock handle all this?
00:59:07Jack's Jack.
00:59:08He just lets these things roll over him.
00:59:20Sir, news on our anonymous second bidder, Holly Appleby.
00:59:41She started the P.O. box four years ago.
00:59:43There's a lot of falls in the ether at the moment.
00:59:46The 4-4 challenge.
00:59:48Four years, Holly Appleby has had her P.O. box.
00:59:51And it's four years since Libby Trevor moved to the area.
00:59:55Before that, Holly Appleby lived in Asperntallow.
00:59:58She went through a messy divorce.
00:59:59Ended up in the courts.
01:00:00But why open a P.O. box?
01:00:02To protect her anonymity when she moved on, perhaps.
01:00:06Interestingly, Libby Trevor said she moved here on her own.
01:00:09You think that maybe Holly Appleby changed her name to Libby Trevor?
01:00:13Possibly.
01:00:14But why wouldn't Assistant Groundswoman put in a bid to buy the bowling club?
01:00:18Because she loves her job.
01:00:20Well, you say that.
01:00:21But if that's the case, what are all these bowling balls still doing out here?
01:00:24Why wouldn't Libby Trevor put them away after the final?
01:00:28Unless she left in a hurry.
01:00:39Oh, well, no, I was just sorting.
01:00:51Mind if we take a look in the greenhouse?
01:00:58Hmm.
01:00:59Vanilla.
01:00:59That's not earth on your hands, is it?
01:01:07It's vanilla-scented coffee.
01:01:10And this is the real Midsummer Mocca.
01:01:13Time to come clean, Holly.
01:01:17It is Holly, isn't it?
01:01:19Hello?
01:01:42Belle!
01:01:43Is that you?
01:01:44Hello?
01:01:44Hello?
01:01:44Hello?
01:01:44Hello?
01:01:45Hello?
01:01:45Hello?
01:01:46Hello?
01:01:47Hello?
01:01:48Hello?
01:01:49Hello?
01:02:06Cheers, mate.
01:02:12Hey!
01:02:13Which one do you want to try this time?
01:02:15Something authentic would be good.
01:02:16Okay.
01:02:17What can I hit you with?
01:02:18Uh, Colombian, Guatemalan?
01:02:20Well, actually, you can hit me with the truth and fill me in about Dale McManus blackmailing
01:02:25you.
01:02:26Or I can introduce you to the Causton CID coffee machine, which is about as authentic as you
01:02:31are.
01:02:32My marriage was abusive.
01:02:33But I finally got out of it and I started over in Midsummer Deverell.
01:02:49Changing your name and trying to make sure your ex couldn't track you down.
01:02:54Libby started out as liberty.
01:02:55Libby started out as liberty, a sign of my new freedom.
01:03:01All I wanted to do was belong and I thought that the bowling club would, would do that.
01:03:09But Mr. Warrell made it difficult.
01:03:11Wolf was a bully.
01:03:12Wolf was a bully.
01:03:13Which wasn't good for me because it reminded me of... of what I had fought so hard to escape
01:03:24from.
01:03:26Okay.
01:03:27Earlier you were very complimentary about Mr. Warrell.
01:03:29You said he was like a mentor to you.
01:03:32Why lie?
01:03:33I'm sorry.
01:03:34I...
01:03:35I guess.
01:03:36I guess I didn't wanna speak ill of the dead.
01:03:39Okay.
01:03:40And I...
01:03:41I didn't wanna have to admit all this.
01:03:44How did you become involved with Midsummer Mocha?
01:03:47I like Lucas's dream.
01:03:51And I was trying to figure out how to do something positive
01:03:54with a property that I owned in Aspen Tallow.
01:03:58I thought that if I sold it, I could use the proceeds as collateral.
01:04:03To join forces and help to buy the bowling club?
01:04:07That was the theory.
01:04:10But in practice, it's proving kind of different.
01:04:12That's the thing with dreams, they don't always come true.
01:04:22With Libby's backing, the plan is to turn the bowling club into a coffee emporium
01:04:26with an outside space for coffee events and music gigs.
01:04:29Emporium? You've hardly won over the hearts of mine so far.
01:04:33We just need time.
01:04:35You can make the best coffee in the world, source the best growers, use the finest beans.
01:04:40But if you don't have anyone to drink it.
01:04:43We've seen your setup in Libby's greenhouse.
01:04:47Everything here is fake.
01:04:49We just needed to reduce costs in order to survive.
01:04:52Until things take off.
01:04:54By importing the cheapest beans that you can find.
01:04:57Probably not ethically sourced.
01:04:58And roasting them yourself?
01:05:00It's not going to be forever.
01:05:02And you assumed that no one would find out.
01:05:05But Dale McManus did.
01:05:07I've accessed his emails.
01:05:08He found out what you and Libby were up to, and he's been trying to extort money from you.
01:05:12Money I haven't got.
01:05:14You might, if you broke into Wilf Warrell's house and stole a painting.
01:05:19Did Wilf find out your little secret too?
01:05:22What?
01:05:23No.
01:05:24Look, I didn't like Wilf.
01:05:26Wilf didn't like me, but I didn't steal any painting.
01:05:29What do you think I am?
01:05:30A fraud.
01:05:32Someone desperate to keep their dream alive.
01:05:36Dale McManus was found dead earlier today.
01:05:44I swear I don't know anything about that.
01:05:45Lucas Shaw?
01:05:51He's admitted fraud, but he's adamant that he didn't kill anyone, and I think he's telling
01:05:55the truth.
01:05:56He's misguided, but he isn't a killer.
01:05:58What about Libby Trevor?
01:05:59I don't think she's killed anyone either.
01:06:02So who did kill Dale McManus?
01:06:04And why?
01:06:07I wonder if we might be taking Mr. McManus' death too much at face value.
01:06:11Meaning?
01:06:12We know that Harry Peterson received a text message from someone wanting to meet him in
01:06:18the woods, but he was delayed by the match celebrations with his son.
01:06:24So what if Mr. McManus in the woods to dump white goods was just in the wrong place at
01:06:29the wrong time?
01:06:30Harry Peterson was the real time.
01:06:32Indeed.
01:06:34How are we doing with the Pollock family background?
01:06:37Financials are interesting.
01:06:39Accounts are all in order.
01:06:41But you were right to look into the Turks and Caicos.
01:06:43Some years ago, Jack Pollock lost a whole pile of money in an investment there.
01:06:47Apart from that, everything's above board.
01:06:51Interestingly though, he did the accounts of Teddy Mulcahy.
01:06:55His father's nemesis.
01:06:58And presumably historic accounts, given that Mr. Mulcahy has been dead for years.
01:07:02I guess.
01:07:03I'll check.
01:07:04Mr. Pollock, how can I help?
01:07:13We're on our way.
01:07:15Jack Pollock.
01:07:17He says his father's been kidnapped.
01:07:19Any further word?
01:07:27Anonymous email demanding a quarter of a million pounds as a ransom.
01:07:31We'll try and trace the sender.
01:07:32Four hours to find that money.
01:07:34How am I going to do that?
01:07:35You're not.
01:07:35We don't recommend giving in to ransom demands.
01:07:38And this seems more like an act of financial desperation than anything else.
01:07:41It's easy for you to say.
01:07:42It's not your father whose life's in danger.
01:07:43If I had the money, I'd hand it over right this second.
01:07:45Can we borrow against the house?
01:07:47I've already spoken to the bank.
01:07:48There isn't the time.
01:07:48We don't have that kind of money.
01:07:50Maybe we could call him local support.
01:07:51We'd never raise enough.
01:07:53What about Hattie?
01:07:54I could ask him.
01:07:56We could ask him.
01:07:57Thanks.
01:07:57Uniform have triangulated the signal and found your father's phone.
01:08:01It's roadside on a country lane.
01:08:03We'll head over there.
01:08:04In the meantime, please, don't do anything without talking to us.
01:08:16I doubt there's much in the way of road cameras here.
01:08:19There might be one at the junction where the road meets the village.
01:08:21Get tech onto it urgently.
01:08:27One mobile phone and one discarded bowling ball.
01:08:34Is that blood?
01:08:35Actually, it's coffee.
01:08:37If it's still wet, we could get winter to do a taste test.
01:08:40Already done it.
01:08:41We'll do a GC-MS test in the lab to make sure, but I did the old PTT.
01:08:48Pipette tongue taste.
01:08:50My guess would be powdered instant.
01:08:57I can't just sit here and do nothing.
01:09:10Dad's out there somewhere.
01:09:16It's all my fault.
01:09:20Look, I don't like the idea, but I think we have to do what you suggested.
01:09:24Ask Harry.
01:09:25What about the police?
01:09:27What about them?
01:09:38Harry.
01:09:39It's me.
01:09:46What's the connection between the murders and the kidnappers?
01:09:49Money.
01:09:50Someone is desperate for it.
01:09:52They stole a valuable painting from Mr. Worrell, and now they want a quarter of a million pounds
01:09:56for the return of Archie Pollock.
01:09:59Why?
01:09:59Greed?
01:10:01A debt, more like.
01:10:01I think someone got into trouble and made the mistake of asking Mr. Worrell, who you said
01:10:05had money, to borrow some.
01:10:08Mr. Worrell said no, because he's an old curmudgeon.
01:10:10Who likes nothing better than dealing in other people's secrets.
01:10:13He threatens to tell the world, and so needs to be silenced.
01:10:18You know, what's really bugging me about these photos is that they're not shots of Jenny Pollock
01:10:25with Archie and Wilf in the background.
01:10:27The two men are the main subject of the pictures.
01:10:31We knew that Jack Pollock was curious about the argument, which was just about meds.
01:10:35He said he didn't know what it was about, but maybe he thought they were arguing about
01:10:39something else.
01:10:40Well, we checked out Teddy Mulcahy's accounts, and interestingly, so is the tax man.
01:10:46Heavily in debt and still active, pending imminent investigation.
01:10:50So the financial clock is ticking and the net closing in.
01:10:53Who would know how to keep a dead man's accounts alive?
01:10:56Jack Pollock would.
01:11:01He hasn't kidnapped his own father, has he?
01:11:05Winter.
01:11:08Ah, okay.
01:11:10Yeah, thanks.
01:11:11Patrol have sighted Dale McManus' van in a field next to the woods.
01:11:15Let's go.
01:11:16What are you doing here?
01:11:27I could ask you the same question.
01:11:29I asked you not to do anything without talking to us.
01:11:31You don't understand.
01:11:32They said to come alone.
01:11:35To, uh, use Harry's phone to transfer the money.
01:11:37Then and only then would Dad be released.
01:11:39We need to do what they say.
01:11:41Transfer the money.
01:11:44Don't.
01:11:44Look, quick, quick, the time's running out.
01:11:47It is indeed, Mr. Pollock.
01:11:49There are no kidnappers because there was no kidnapping, was there?
01:11:53Someone tell me what the hell is going on.
01:11:55Mr. Pollock has faked his father's kidnapping.
01:11:58Jenny, what...
01:11:59What's going on?
01:12:01What are you doing here?
01:12:01I need to know what's happening.
01:12:03Mr. Pollock here, one failed Turks and Caicos investment behind him, needed to do something.
01:12:10Improve himself to his father and provide for his wife.
01:12:12Was Mr. Peterson's arrival in the village the trigger?
01:12:17The dashing international businessman you couldn't compete?
01:12:20Well, you tried to by making investments under a false name.
01:12:23Your father's nemesis, Teddy Mulcahy.
01:12:25Was that some kind of private joke to get at your father?
01:12:28Why?
01:12:28Because he wasn't there for me.
01:12:34He was never there.
01:12:36After Mum died, he was too obsessed with his stupid bowling!
01:12:40So when your fake investments went wrong with the taxman looming, you asked Wilf Worrell to bail you out.
01:12:49What a mistake that was.
01:12:51He said no and started lording it over me.
01:12:53Which explains the photos.
01:12:55You were never worried how those photos looked for your father.
01:12:58I saw Wilf having words with Dad.
01:13:00I thought he was telling him about me.
01:13:02And I needed to know for sure.
01:13:03So I went back.
01:13:04But he wasn't.
01:13:05But that just made things worse.
01:13:07So you needed to silence him.
01:13:08And knowing where Mr. Worrell kept the keys, you went to the outhouse.
01:13:13You killed him.
01:13:14And then tried to point the finger at your nemesis, Harry.
01:13:18You thought H.A. might be enough.
01:13:20I wasn't thinking straight.
01:13:21I needed money fast.
01:13:23So you stole a painting, accidentally assaulting your father in the process.
01:13:26And then you decided to target Harry direct.
01:13:30You used Jenny's phone to lure him to the woods only.
01:13:33That doesn't work either.
01:13:35Harry's delayed and you kill an innocent man.
01:13:39I didn't mean to kill Dale.
01:13:40He was the wrong man in the wrong place.
01:13:43You're panicked.
01:13:45You're lost.
01:13:46And then it hits you.
01:13:49The solution to everything.
01:13:50Pretend to kidnap your father.
01:13:53Demand a ransom that will clear your debts once and for all.
01:13:55Knowing that your wife would turn to Harry to pay for it.
01:13:59Before he's killed by kidnappers.
01:14:01Otherwise known as you.
01:14:04Jack!
01:14:05It should have been him.
01:14:08Stay back!
01:14:10Ross, help me, but I'll kill you.
01:14:12Put the knife down, Jack.
01:14:14It won't help.
01:14:15So close.
01:14:16To sailing off into the sunset?
01:14:18I wanted us to be happy.
01:14:22I wanted us to be together.
01:14:23I am.
01:14:26We are.
01:14:28No, no.
01:14:29You're having an affair.
01:14:30I'm not.
01:14:32I've seen all your messages.
01:14:34I've seen your secret meetings.
01:14:36The fear of being caught.
01:14:38Because I didn't want you to think this.
01:14:41Right.
01:14:42You're going to run off with him.
01:14:45And live happily ever after.
01:14:46And you know what?
01:14:47I don't blame you.
01:14:49Because I can't compete with him.
01:14:52Look at me.
01:14:54Look at me.
01:14:55And tell me you weren't tempted.
01:14:59Okay, I was.
01:15:00But I didn't give in to it.
01:15:03I stayed true.
01:15:06Because I love you.
01:15:12It's true.
01:15:14She loves you, not me.
01:15:16What have you done, Jack?
01:15:18Your wife doesn't cheat.
01:15:20You just believe the gossip.
01:15:23I was a laughingstock.
01:15:24You're not.
01:15:26Nothing happened.
01:15:29I wanted it to.
01:15:30But Jenny refused.
01:15:32Even when I just wanted to invest in her with a yoga center.
01:15:35She refused that too.
01:15:36She thought it would be inappropriate.
01:15:37You had the dream already.
01:15:43You were living it.
01:15:53Oh, God.
01:16:07I'm sorry, Dad.
01:16:23So am I.
01:16:30Oh, come on, Eddie.
01:16:31Everybody wants to see the trophy.
01:16:32I give you the 4x4 Maths Challenge Champion.
01:16:35Yay!
01:16:36And it was all her own work.
01:16:39It was, actually.
01:16:40We were rubbish.
01:16:41Together we have a new challenge.
01:16:44Yeah, we do indeed.
01:16:45A bowling match.
01:16:46These were my grandfather's pride and joy.
01:16:50Oh, and we also have to honour Harry Peterson's successful bid to buy the Midsummer Deverell Bowling Club.
01:16:54He plans to modernise it and keep it as a bowling club for his son to play at.
01:16:58Very good.
01:16:59They had names for their teams, didn't they?
01:17:02They did.
01:17:02There's Archie's Bowls Whisperers and Ollie's Orbitals.
01:17:07And I've been giving some thought to a name for us.
01:17:10And in every sense, you can't beat Barnaby's Bowling Bevies.
01:17:14You're comparing me to a drink.
01:17:15That's something else I'm very fond of.
01:17:17I thought of Fleur Power or the Flying Fleurs.
01:17:24But I'll leave it to Jamie.
01:17:26Winter Milan.
01:17:27Oh, come on.
01:17:39Oh, yeah.
01:17:46Oh, I think we did it.
01:18:00I think the clear winner is...
01:18:12Hang on.
01:18:14That's cheating.
01:18:16Of course it's not.
01:18:18It's a bowl, isn't it?
01:18:19Oh, ho, ho, ho.
01:18:21Oh, ho, ho.
01:18:22Oh, ho, ho, ho.
01:18:24Oh, ho, ho.
01:18:25Oh, ho, ho.
01:18:27Oh, ho, ho.
