00:00:30Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Archie
00:00:45Need I remind you, Miss Gillen, this is a no-smoking club
00:00:49Apologies for my daughter, Wilf
00:00:51She gets the attitude from her father
00:00:54That's why I divorced him
00:00:55That, and the fact you run off with your hairdresser
00:00:57Which was devastating
00:00:59Best hairdresser I ever had, excuse me
00:01:02That's good, yeah, that's great
00:01:15And the players in the back, maybe with the...
00:01:17Come on a bit this way
00:01:19Okay, all right, it's okay, just, yeah, that's nice
00:01:22Is that okay?
00:01:23Yeah, that's great, it's great
00:01:24Smile a bit, that's good, love
00:01:25Do that
00:01:27Oh, I'm so, I'm so sorry
00:01:29Excuse me, Archie, sorry, sorry
00:01:41All right, Jenny, just relax
00:01:44Okay, okay, all right, let's just get it over with
00:01:47Yeah, all right, that is great
00:01:50You can polish your bowls all you like, Dale
00:01:52But you'll know you're a marbles man underneath
00:01:54Archie, mate
00:01:55Show these amateurs how it's done
00:01:57My pleasure
00:01:59Oh, tension getting to you, isn't it?
00:02:10Never
00:02:11Come on, my beauty
00:02:18Nice one, monster at work
00:02:22Actually, I think mine's nearest
00:02:24How old are you, Wilf?
00:02:26Black ball closer
00:02:40Archie's team wins
00:02:42What? No way, are you joking?
00:02:44Fix
00:02:44They never lie
00:02:46Chloe, you know the membership rules as well as the rest of us
00:02:49Referee's decision is final
00:02:51Yeah, but my ball is closer
00:02:53Well, he's right
00:02:53Just a bunch of cheats
00:02:55I'm sick of this farce
00:02:56Are you going to let him get away with this, Ruth?
00:02:57Leave a towel, mate
00:02:58Oh, ban him, Ruth, ban him
00:03:00Okay, let's just calm it
00:03:02It's only a knockabout
00:03:03Save your energy for the championship finals, okay?
00:03:07You, I want a word
00:03:08All right, champ?
00:03:34Bunch of losers, that one
00:03:35Have a good evening for it
00:03:39orious your first time
00:03:39You can hit the right
00:03:40I want a word
00:03:41It's eliminated
00:03:43You, people, couldn't help us
00:03:44Pull out
00:03:45If you have any questions, please
00:03:45Sit back
00:03:46Call me
00:03:47Remove
00:03:48Chief
00:03:49Soon
00:03:49ะทั
00:04:09Oh, my God.
00:04:39Oh, my God.
00:05:09Oh, my God.
00:05:39Oh, my God.
00:05:41Oh, my God.
00:05:45Oh, my God.
00:05:49Betty.
00:05:53Oh, my morning, Winter.
00:05:55Betty, I think I've cracked 18.
00:05:57Listen, now, 4 times 4 equals 16, plus 4 is 20, minus the square root of 4, which is 2, equals 18.
00:06:08Well done, darling.
00:06:09Oh, the 4-4 math challenge. I remember it well.
00:06:1319?
00:06:15Oh, I think we've got to get to work, haven't we, Winter?
00:06:18Uh, yes, we do, sir.
00:06:19Oh, sorry, darling.
00:06:21Oh, my God.
00:06:22Get me Jackie.
00:06:264 factorial, 24, minus 4, minus 4 over 4, 19.
00:06:30She knows.
00:06:31Betty's actually up to 53, but John's more likely to let her stay up late tonight if he feels like he's out.
00:06:38That's top maths, that, sir. Well done.
00:06:40Well, thank you.
00:06:41And, um, I'm actually more of a Shakespeare man, really.
00:06:44Oh, my God.
00:06:45Oh, my God.
00:06:47Oh, my God.
00:06:50Oh, my God.
00:06:52Oh, my God.
00:06:53Oh, my God.
00:06:54Oh.
00:06:59Uh, victim is Wilfred Wilff-Warrel, 80, widower, retired, antiques dealer,
00:07:12antiques dealer and grounds...
00:07:15I never really understood the fascination with bowls.
00:07:18Really, I love a bit of bowling.
00:07:19I just play with my granddad all the time.
00:07:21You know, it dates back to the 13th century.
00:07:23It's surprisingly skilled.
00:07:25It's all in the wrist action.
00:07:28Right.
00:07:42Great.
00:07:43More numbers.
00:07:45Morning, Fleur.
00:07:46Morning.
00:07:49Quite a mouthful.
00:07:50Was that to silence him?
00:07:52Whatever it was for, it wasn't the cause of death.
00:07:55That's PBI.
00:07:57Penetrating brain injury to you.
00:08:00Caused by these.
00:08:02Measuring calipers.
00:08:04Thrust into the nasal cavity with considerable force.
00:08:07Indications of cranial penetration and associated cerebral trauma.
00:08:12Triggering intracranial hemorrhage.
00:08:15Victim could have had them on him.
00:08:18Or they might have been taken from the outhouse over there.
00:08:26Time of death?
00:08:28Judging from the lividity of the bruising round the nostrils,
00:08:31I'd say we're talking early evening.
00:08:33What about these markers?
00:08:34Looks like the victim placed them there himself.
00:08:37A score?
00:08:38As in a score to settle, sir.
00:08:40One thing at a time, Winter.
00:08:42Mobile phone?
00:08:43No sign of one.
00:08:44Or any other personal effect.
00:08:46Who found him?
00:08:47Ah.
00:08:48That would be the Dawn Chorus Yoga Club.
00:08:52Yes.
00:08:53Yoga teacher Jenny Pollock.
00:08:57Along with mother and daughter Ruth and Chloe Gillen.
00:09:01Mum Ruth is a GP and the bowling club president.
00:09:05I've met her at many a medical get to go.
00:09:18Ruth Gillen.
00:09:23Was, uh, Wilf Worrell a mainstay of the club?
00:09:25He was indeed.
00:09:26Too much so, really.
00:09:28In what way?
00:09:29Oh, Wilf should have retired years ago.
00:09:32He wasn't a well man.
00:09:34Thyroid issues mainly.
00:09:36And I finally got him to agree to a course of statins and beta blockers.
00:09:40He'd also reluctantly accepted that he needed some help here.
00:09:43And who might that be?
00:09:45Libby.
00:09:46Libby Trevor, local horticulturalist.
00:09:48Amazing at what she does.
00:09:50And the patience of a saint with Wilf.
00:09:55Do you need to get that?
00:09:56No, it's just the surgery chasing.
00:10:03Did anyone not have patience with Wilf?
00:10:05Well, he wasn't the easiest person to be fair.
00:10:08Things got a bit heated yesterday.
00:10:11Ollie Peterson wasn't happy with Wilf's refereeing.
00:10:14Because?
00:10:15I thought he'd won.
00:10:16Wilf's measurements indicated otherwise.
00:10:19Measurements made with callipers by any chance?
00:10:21Yes.
00:10:22Lucas really kicked off.
00:10:24Accusing us all of cheating.
00:10:26Lucas who?
00:10:27Shaw.
00:10:28Runs Midsummer Mocha.
00:10:30Brand new trendy coffee place.
00:10:32Not everyone's cup of tea.
00:10:34Or coffee.
00:10:36And did Mr. Worrell cheat?
00:10:38Not possibly, but Lucas overreacted.
00:10:42He's intense and a bit pushy.
00:10:46Maybe it's all that caffeine.
00:10:48Most of us are open to new ideas, but Wilf, however, wasn't.
00:10:53So when Lucas got a youngster's bowling team together,
00:10:58Wilf resisted their entrance to the club and tried to get them thrown out.
00:11:01For what?
00:11:02Anything.
00:11:03Breaking dress regulation codes, match etiquette rules, breathing, you name it.
00:11:12Why is the bowling club up for sale?
00:11:15Well, our finances are perilous.
00:11:18Membership's fallen off the edge of a cliff.
00:11:21Mainly because people insist on dying.
00:11:24Quiet.
00:11:26Archie Pollock's on a roll.
00:11:29Championship winning captain for the last 12 years.
00:11:32I see he also won in 1926.
00:11:35Oh, his grandfather.
00:11:37He comes from a long line of Archies.
00:11:39A load of Pollocks, some might say.
00:11:44Only ever threatened by Captain Curve himself, Teddy Mulcahy.
00:11:49Who's no longer with us, but their rivalry was legendary.
00:11:52Best not mention him in front of Archie.
00:11:54I'll try not to.
00:11:57Jenny Pollock, Chloe Gillan, DS Winter.
00:12:00Guilty as charged.
00:12:02And, er, you are?
00:12:05Er, Libby Trevor, groundswoman.
00:12:08There you go.
00:12:09Sorry, er, excuse me.
00:12:11Sorry.
00:12:13Excuse me, you can't stand there.
00:12:16Can you tell me what you were doing here this morning?
00:12:19I run a sunrise yoga class here twice a week.
00:12:23Oh.
00:12:24My mum approved it.
00:12:25She was keen to bring in some extra egg on you.
00:12:27Wolf opposed it, of course.
00:12:29Wasn't happy about us using the green.
00:12:31Wolf wasn't happy about anything.
00:12:32I'm tank of a soul goat.
00:12:34Safe to say you're not a fan, then.
00:12:36Oppressive detective skills, DS Winter.
00:12:38The Bowling Green is the only place in the area we can do it.
00:12:41It's perfect, and it's gone down well with the majority of locals.
00:12:44It's because you're insanely brilliant.
00:12:46I mean, personally, I could do without seeing Dale
00:12:48and his downward dog at the crack of dawn twice a week.
00:12:50But, I mean, Jenny's done more for this community
00:12:53than pretty much anyone else.
00:12:5681.
00:12:58Does that number mean anything to you?
00:13:00Um, someone's age, a house number, perhaps?
00:13:02No, not that I know of.
00:13:05Mr. Worrell, did he own a mobile phone?
00:13:08Oh, definitely not. Old school.
00:13:10Dinosaur, more like.
00:13:11Jenny.
00:13:12Are you okay?
00:13:16I just heard it's terrible.
00:13:18I know.
00:13:20Well, let's get you home.
00:13:22Has anyone shown interest in buying the club?
00:13:25Two bids so far.
00:13:27Flash Harry being one of them.
00:13:29Harry Peterson, architect, property magnate and entrepreneur.
00:13:33Sporty car, moved to the village a year ago with his son Ollie.
00:13:36The same Ollie who plays bowls?
00:13:38Ollie's sweet, whereas his dad has made no secret of his intention
00:13:41to expand his property empire around here.
00:13:44We figure he'll raise the club to the ground,
00:13:46build some modern monstrosity and sell it for millions.
00:13:49Apparently, Jack and Wil thought otherwise.
00:13:52They were saying yesterday that Harry's bid is dead in the water.
00:13:55Jack?
00:13:56Oh, club accountant.
00:13:59Archie's son.
00:14:00He was here yesterday.
00:14:01Taking photos to promote his wife's yoga studio.
00:14:04I really must make a move if that's okay.
00:14:07Oh, by all means.
00:14:08And who is the other potential buyer you mentioned too?
00:14:12We have absolutely no idea.
00:14:14An anonymous bidder.
00:14:18Well, I think it's fair to say that Mr. Worrell
00:14:20wasn't the most popular person in the village.
00:14:21Indeed.
00:14:22Generational conflict, sporting rivalry,
00:14:24a spat with Lucas Shaw.
00:14:25All soccer on the way to Mr. Worrell's house now.
00:14:28I'll follow.
00:14:29Check his financials and get on to the council.
00:14:32I want to know who's behind this anonymous bid
00:14:34to buy the bowling club.
00:14:35And pay a visit to Lucas Shaw at Midsummer Mocha.
00:14:38Oh, I'd love to.
00:14:39Really into my coffee at the moment, sir.
00:14:41I've become a bit of a Java junkie.
00:14:43A what?
00:14:44A roast ranger, sir.
00:14:46Bean aficionado?
00:14:48Well, keep it to yourself, Winter.
00:14:50I'll speak to Jack Pollock, see what he knows.
00:14:53Right.
00:14:54So, where were you last night then?
00:14:57Well, never mind me.
00:14:58Where were you?
00:14:59Pub, then boringly tucked in bed with a buck.
00:15:02You, you, Dr. Dirty Stop out.
00:15:05Didn't make it home unnoticed.
00:15:06Well, for your information, I went back to the surgery
00:15:09to a mountain of paperwork and some midnight oil.
00:15:12Ah, is that what they call it these days?
00:15:14I mean, I believe you.
00:15:16Millions wouldn't.
00:15:17What's that with you home alone, anyway?
00:15:19Well, you're not still holding out for that slash Harry, are you?
00:15:22Of course not.
00:15:24Maybe a smidge.
00:15:25Come on, he's fine, he's charismatic, loaded.
00:15:28And, okay, I'm really well with his son.
00:15:30And, uh, Dale?
00:15:31Oh, please, Mother.
00:15:33He's a glorified man with a van.
00:15:34He's not even a contender.
00:15:36Hi, Harry.
00:15:37Hi, ladies.
00:15:41I mean, seriously.
00:15:43What's not to like?
00:15:45See you later.
00:15:47Wow.
00:15:55Who died?
00:15:58Chloe, can you not?
00:16:00Positivity, please.
00:16:01There's positivity and there's delusion.
00:16:04You've got to admit, Wilf's death,
00:16:06on top of already being boycotted by 90% of the locals,
00:16:10it's not a good look.
00:16:12Maybe this place isn't ready for a coffee revolution.
00:16:15We'll just have to work harder, then.
00:16:18Today, Mr. Medeverill.
00:16:20Tomorrow, the world.
00:16:23If you say so, coffee man.
00:16:26I do.
00:16:28I do say so.
00:16:42There's police crawling everywhere.
00:16:46They'll be calmed out.
00:16:47Didn't you hear what I said?
00:16:49They're all over the place.
00:16:50What are we going to do?
00:16:51I'll tell you what we're not going to do.
00:16:53We're not going to panic.
00:16:55We're going to stay calm and carry on as planned.
00:16:58Okay?
00:16:59Tell me, does the number 81 mean anything to you?
00:17:11Relating to Bowles, possibly?
00:17:14No.
00:17:15No, not at all.
00:17:16About the bids to buy the club,
00:17:18I gather you and Mr. Worrell no longer believe
00:17:21that Harry Peterson's bid is a goer.
00:17:24That's correct.
00:17:27I have a friend on the council who told me
00:17:29they'd reject any bid that wanted to build
00:17:31residential property on the land.
00:17:33Which is Mr. Peterson's plan?
00:17:36That's what he does for a living.
00:17:40Look, I was told in confidence,
00:17:43but made the mistake of telling Wilf,
00:17:45who wanted to blab it to the world,
00:17:47which could have ruined everything.
00:17:49Does Harry Peterson know about this?
00:17:52Might Mr. Worrell have blabbed about it to him?
00:17:56Very possibly.
00:17:57Wilf was nothing if not a stirrer.
00:18:00I'll need an address for Mr. Peterson if you have it.
00:18:03Sure.
00:18:05And would Mr. Worrell blabbing be annoying for you?
00:18:09Well, it's my own fault really.
00:18:12I should have known better than to trust him.
00:18:14Can you tell me what you did last night after the game?
00:18:17Well, I've been taking photos of Jenny for her yoga,
00:18:21and then I dropped her home and went to the Swan.
00:18:24A few of us did.
00:18:25These photos, were they taken around the club generally?
00:18:28Yeah.
00:18:29All over, just snaps really.
00:18:31Might I see them?
00:18:32You might have captured something without knowing it.
00:18:35Sure.
00:18:36I'll send them over to you.
00:18:39Big match tomorrow.
00:18:41The match.
00:18:42Climax of the season.
00:18:44Gone right to the wire.
00:18:46Could be the last championship over if the club goes.
00:18:50And potentially your 13th.
00:18:52Quite a record.
00:18:54Rivalled only by Teddy Mulcahy, I believe.
00:18:57Mulcahy.
00:18:58All mouth and no trousers.
00:19:00A pretender.
00:19:01A mountebank.
00:19:03Which is why I don't plan on letting any of those youths win tomorrow.
00:19:08Versus first, second is nowhere.
00:19:10Isn't that right, Jack?
00:19:11In one, Dad.
00:19:13You'll need a strong referee, I suspect.
00:19:16We will.
00:19:17Bloody selfish of wealth not to be around, if you ask me.
00:19:20Dad!
00:19:21What?
00:19:22Just saying.
00:19:23You look after the club, I'll sort the bowls.
00:19:27Everything all right, Mr. Pollock?
00:19:30Just a twinge.
00:19:31There's something wrong with you.
00:19:32No, it's fine.
00:19:57You, I'm not.
00:19:58I'm not.
00:19:59And we'll do that here.
00:20:00You do.
00:20:01All right, Jack.
00:20:02I'm not.
00:20:03I'm not.
00:20:04I'm not.
00:20:05I am.
00:20:06I am too poor.
00:20:07I'm not.
00:20:08Put on a car.
00:20:09You're not.
00:20:10I'm not.
00:20:11It's what you're doing.
00:20:12You're not.
00:20:13I'm not.
00:20:14I'm not.
00:20:14I'm not.
00:20:16I'm not.
00:20:17I'm not.
00:20:18I'm not.
00:20:19I'm not.
00:20:20I'm not.
00:20:21How did you get on at Mr. Worrell's?
00:20:41Nice cottage, full of antiques, but then he was a dealer.
00:20:46Clearly a successful one.
00:20:47His financials came back, all in good shape.
00:20:51Something I suspect that house clearance expert,
00:20:54cum ambulance chaser, Dale McManus,
00:20:56might be interested in.
00:20:57Caught him snooping around.
00:20:59Check him out.
00:21:01Also, Mr. Worrell had an old school landline.
00:21:04The last person to call him at 5 o'clock yesterday
00:21:06was Flash Harry Peace.
00:21:08Ah, just as well I'm about to meet him.
00:21:17I knocked, but, uh, is your dad here?
00:21:26Said he'd be back soon.
00:21:27You know, if you're a bit of a maths buff,
00:21:33maybe you can help me with something.
00:21:36Is there anything special about the number 81?
00:21:38Nine square, three to the power of four.
00:21:44This is all about bowling?
00:21:46It is.
00:21:47I'm, uh, trying to predict the part of the bowling ball tech.
00:21:52Accuracy is everything, unless the ref's cheating.
00:21:57I take it you're referring to Mr. Worrell?
00:22:00Why might he do that, do you think?
00:22:02Pick on some breaking rules, not let us book practice greens.
00:22:07He really had it in for us.
00:22:09As a result, perhaps someone had it in for him.
00:22:15Can I help?
00:22:16Yeah.
00:22:27Excuse me.
00:22:34What the hell are those for?
00:22:37Mushroom coffee.
00:22:38It's the next big thing.
00:22:40You can't just pick wild mushrooms, experiment,
00:22:43and sell it as coffee.
00:22:44There are rules and regulations.
00:22:46We have to do this properly.
00:22:48We'll never get investment from someone like Harry Peterson.
00:22:52Hi.
00:22:53Hey.
00:22:54DS Winter, Causton CID.
00:22:57What can we get you?
00:22:58How about this one?
00:23:00Parisa is a nutty bean, responsibly sourced
00:23:02from a cooperative in Nicaragua.
00:23:05Or perhaps you fancy a Brazilian?
00:23:10Yes.
00:23:10Yes, maybe, maybe in a minute.
00:23:13How has the cafe been received so far?
00:23:18Wilf despised us, and generally speaking,
00:23:23a destination coffee shop isn't exactly
00:23:25top of the village wish list.
00:23:26Most people here are still wedded to powdered instant
00:23:28and a kettle.
00:23:29Same at the bowling club.
00:23:31Their website's like somewhere from the dark ages.
00:23:33Jack did the puzzles.
00:23:34Wilf did the jokes.
00:23:36Everyone a belter.
00:23:37We joined hoping to encourage some cross-fertilization.
00:23:40No, we're doing OK on the cross bit.
00:23:42Less on the fertilization.
00:23:45How did you get into coffee?
00:23:48Well, I was a barista champion.
00:23:54I worked in cafes all over the world.
00:23:56Madrid, Ecuador, Guatemala.
00:24:00Got tired of working for other people.
00:24:02And my family are from around here.
00:24:03So this is my dream.
00:24:06I'll do anything to make it work.
00:24:09What did you do after the game last night?
00:24:11And Mr. McManus said something about going to the pub.
00:24:14Yeah.
00:24:15A bunch of us did.
00:24:16I'll need a list.
00:24:17And one of those?
00:24:20Uh, yeah.
00:24:21Yeah.
00:24:21Sure.
00:24:24The bright kid, your son?
00:24:26Doesn't get it from me.
00:24:28Really?
00:24:29I heard that you were a successful architect turned property
00:24:33magnate.
00:24:33I can talk the talk, but I'm no good at maths.
00:24:36Not on Ollie's league, anyway.
00:24:38You know, he's just still a teenager,
00:24:40but he's already been in touch with the European Space
00:24:42Agency about a mentorship scheme they run.
00:24:45Impressive.
00:24:46Is it just the two of you?
00:24:48It is.
00:24:50Money can buy lots of things, but it seems happiness
00:24:53is not one of them.
00:24:55Ollie's mum lives abroad.
00:24:58He misses her, and, uh, well, he retreated into physics,
00:25:02quantum mechanics, and the multiverse.
00:25:05He's become quite introverted.
00:25:07And yet he's a member of the bowling club.
00:25:09Yes, a godsend.
00:25:11When the coffee guys wanted to recruit a youngster,
00:25:14Chloe Gillan took a punt on Ollie, and he hasn't looked back.
00:25:17Swapped one obsession, orbital trajectories in space, for another, Lorne Bowles.
00:25:22Who knew he loves it?
00:25:24Hmm.
00:25:25But he didn't love Mr. Worrell, though.
00:25:27No.
00:25:28But, to be honest, it's good for Ollie to meet old duffers like that.
00:25:32Life isn't always fair, and the sooner he learns that, the better.
00:25:36Hmm.
00:25:37Where were you last night, around six o'clock?
00:25:42I picked Ollie up from the bowling club, and then came home.
00:25:47And when did you last talk to Mr. Worrell?
00:25:49Yesterday.
00:25:50On the phone.
00:25:51About?
00:25:52Mainly, he wanted to gloat about how I wasn't going to win the bid.
00:25:56Something about council opposition to residential property.
00:25:59That must have been galling.
00:26:01Not really.
00:26:02Who said I was doing anything residential?
00:26:05What are your plans, then?
00:26:07My plans are confidential, and, for the moment, academic.
00:26:14With all due respect, I'd prefer to keep it that way, if that's all right.
00:26:17For the time being, yes.
00:26:19Oli?
00:26:22Everything all right?
00:26:25Huh.
00:26:26Teenagers, eh?
00:26:27Hormones and all that.
00:26:29Does your son make a habit of lashing out?
00:26:32Oh, did you get me a coffee?
00:26:37No.
00:26:38No, I'm taste testing.
00:26:39Now, I get gooseberry, but I'm not getting a hint of hibiscus.
00:26:44Tastes like pencil shavings to me.
00:26:47I had no idea you ate pencils.
00:26:49I, um, I checked on Dale McManus, our house clearance expert,
00:26:53and he's had fines for fly tipping and was once accused of identity theft,
00:26:57but nothing was ever proven.
00:26:58Interesting.
00:26:59And also, the council got back to me about an honest bidder.
00:27:02H. Appleby.
00:27:04Hmm.
00:27:05Well, do some digging.
00:27:06And while you're at it, see if Harry Peterson has been involved
00:27:10in anything non-residential.
00:27:12Hmm, I'll do.
00:27:13Oh!
00:27:14Also, I got you something, sir.
00:27:16It's a steam wand.
00:27:19Milk frother for your coffee.
00:27:22It aerates the milk.
00:27:24Makes it creamier.
00:27:26I'll bear that in mind.
00:27:33Fleur wants a word.
00:27:38Glad you could join.
00:27:45I'm working on the numbers.
00:27:47Do you have any cryptic word games while waiting for lab results, Fleur?
00:27:56You don't get to be head of Causton Cadaver's pubquist team without practice.
00:28:02So pay attention.
00:28:04It could be a letters to numbers code.
00:28:08A1, B2, and so on.
00:28:10So if it is, A1 would be?
00:28:13H-A.
00:28:15It could be the start of Harry.
00:28:17Or our anonymous bidder, H. Appleby.
00:28:19Whoever they may be.
00:28:21The victim held one of the markers as if he placed him on the ground himself.
00:28:29Was he trying to help identify his killer?
00:28:31That implies Mr. Worrell, after having caliparins thrust into his brain,
00:28:36had time to think of the idea and execute it before dying.
00:28:40I can check, but I suspect death was instantaneous.
00:28:45It would also imply that the killer left the scene without checking the victim was dead.
00:28:50Impossible, but careless.
00:28:52OK, so...
00:28:54Alternatively...
00:28:55Well, the killer put the markers on the ground as if Mr. Worrell had done so himself.
00:29:01To point the finger?
00:29:02Someone else.
00:29:03Exactly.
00:29:04There's something odd about these photos.
00:29:08They're numbered JPEGs, but there's quite a few of them missing.
00:29:11Why wouldn't Mr. Pollock just send all of them?
00:29:13Maybe he deleted some as he went.
00:29:15Maybe.
00:29:16In this one, the outhouse door is locked, but it was open at the crime scene.
00:29:23Well, maybe he unlocked it after people left.
00:29:25Yeah, maybe.
00:29:27Well, someone else could have.
00:29:29Apart from Mr. Worrell, who else would have keys?
00:29:31His colleague, Libby Trevor.
00:29:33Ah.
00:29:34Horticulturalist with the Patience of a Saint.
00:29:38Let's talk to her.
00:29:49Is the yoga meeting good?
00:29:51Yeah.
00:29:52Fab.
00:29:53I'll grab coffees.
00:29:54Yeah.
00:29:56Hi, Claude.
00:29:57Two latties, please.
00:29:59Chat with you now, is he?
00:30:01Not Harry.
00:30:02You know the good-looking, very successful, super-minted Harry?
00:30:06No.
00:30:07Why would he be?
00:30:08Good question.
00:30:09Do you know what?
00:30:10Forget the coffees.
00:30:12Let's go.
00:30:13What is it?
00:30:14Nothing.
00:30:15What are you doing here?
00:30:16I've done emergency appointments.
00:30:17You want to answer in my calls?
00:30:18I've been busy.
00:30:19I'm not here.
00:30:20I'm not here.
00:30:21I'll see you later.
00:30:22I don't know.
00:30:23I don't know.
00:30:24I don't know.
00:30:25We have to be careful.
00:30:26Do we?
00:30:27Do we?
00:30:28Why?
00:30:29Who cares?
00:30:30Well, I do.
00:30:31And Wilf did.
00:30:32Didn't he?
00:30:33Well, Wilf's not a problem anymore, is he?
00:30:35Look, um, maybe we should just leave it, you know?
00:30:36We had our fun.
00:30:37I mean, it's no big deal, is it?
00:30:38And you are that bit younger than me.
00:30:39What's that got to do with anything?
00:30:40I don't know.
00:30:41I don't know.
00:30:42I don't know.
00:30:43I don't know.
00:30:44I don't know.
00:30:45I don't know.
00:30:46I don't know.
00:30:47I don't know.
00:30:48You're not a problem anymore, is it?
00:30:49Look, um...
00:30:52Maybe we should just leave it, you know?
00:30:55We had our fun.
00:30:57I mean, it's no big deal, is it?
00:31:00And you are that bit younger than me.
00:31:03What's that got to do with anything?
00:31:05Well, I thought, um...
00:31:09Maybe...
00:31:09Maybe you liked Chloe?
00:31:12Based on...?
00:31:14You two flirting, aren't you?
00:31:16A correction that your daughter flirt in, which she'll do for England by the way, literally anyone.
00:31:22It's absolutely fine if you do, but if that is the case then I'd rather we drew the line now.
00:31:29I'm not into Chloe.
00:31:32Ruth.
00:31:35The last few weeks with you have meant a lot to me.
00:31:39So can I see you tonight?
00:31:41Please?
00:31:44Sure?
00:32:10Afternoon, Miss Trevor. May we come in?
00:32:12Yes.
00:32:13Uh, sorry about all the plants.
00:32:16They, they calm me and I like the scents.
00:32:21Well personally I'm getting a rather strong aroma of vanilla.
00:32:25I don't know what that can be.
00:32:27Now how did you get on with Mr Worrell?
00:32:31Well, um, yeah great. He taught me everything I know. And he was like a mentor to me really. Especially when I first moved into the area.
00:32:42And when was that?
00:32:43Four years ago this summer.
00:32:46I was on my own. I fell in with the bowling brigade. And I wanted to firm that up somehow. So I, I became the groundswoman.
00:32:55Um, I gather Mr Worrell could be quite difficult.
00:32:58Wealth?
00:33:00No, not at all. Who told you that?
00:33:02Well, Ruth Gillen said he wasn't the easiest person to work for.
00:33:06Well, he was great.
00:33:08I mean, working with someone from a different generation has its challenges, right?
00:33:14The, um, the outhouse at the bowling club, I assume you have a set of keys?
00:33:20Yes.
00:33:22Who else has?
00:33:23Uh, no one. Just me and Wilf. Why?
00:33:26Because we believe whoever killed him might have had access to the outhouse.
00:33:30Maybe Wilf just left it open?
00:33:32We heard that a number of you went to the Swan last night. Did you all come and go at the same time?
00:33:36Sure.
00:33:38Oh, apart from Dale. Yeah, he left early.
00:33:41Did he now?
00:33:48Well, Dale didn't say anything about leaving the pub early when I asked him.
00:33:51Keep digging.
00:33:52Likewise, Miss Trevor. She's on edge. She's lying about something.
00:34:21And we're late when he was like, oh, no.
00:34:22Just, you know.
00:34:23You are like, should I show off?
00:34:24If you are not?
00:34:25Oh, yes.
00:34:26I'll show off.
00:34:27I'll show off.
00:34:28I'm going to show off.
00:34:30I'm going to show off.
00:34:31Here, Sam.
00:34:32After the night, Holly's head-to-do.
00:34:34And this was weird.
00:34:36And this wasๅฅณ.
00:34:37You were like, it was so weird.
00:34:39I was like a date.
00:34:40There was a date.
00:34:41You were like, oh, no.
00:34:43Why are you?
00:34:45That was like a date.
00:34:47I got a date.
00:34:48Oh, my God.
00:35:18Oh, my God.
00:35:48Oh, my God.
00:36:18I don't remember much, to be honest.
00:36:34Well, try and remember if you can, Dad.
00:36:36It's important.
00:36:36I was walking into the living room, and next thing I know, you're all here.
00:36:47Do you recall seeing anyone?
00:36:48Did you notice anything untoward?
00:36:50Just that the painting that was on the wall was missing.
00:36:56Wilf loved that painting.
00:36:58And what exactly were you doing here?
00:37:01Wilf was a good friend.
00:37:02I came to pay my respects.
00:37:04How did you get in?
00:37:06The front door was open.
00:37:08Didn't you think that was odd?
00:37:10No, not really.
00:37:12Wilf could be forgetful.
00:37:13I'm sorry, but I think we need to take Archie to hospital just to get him checked over.
00:37:18Jack?
00:37:19Yeah, I agree.
00:37:20No, no hospital.
00:37:21The paramedic said I'm fine.
00:37:23I just want to go home.
00:37:24I need a good night's sleep before the match.
00:37:26Maybe we should think about cancelling the match, Dad.
00:37:29It's not like you're up against a Teddy McCarney.
00:37:31Never mind him, and don't be such a loser, Jack.
00:37:34Your mother would turn in that grave if I didn't play.
00:37:37Would she, though?
00:37:38Really?
00:37:38Yes, she would, and don't you ever forget it.
00:37:42First is first, and second is nowhere.
00:37:44Which reminds me, Jenny, we'll need a referee for tomorrow,
00:37:56someone who understands how important it is to get the right result.
00:38:01I'll do my best, but I'm not Wilf.
00:38:07Your father claims to compete in your mother's memory,
00:38:10but you don't think so?
00:38:12No, he competes to prove he's the man.
00:38:14Got to see off the rivals.
00:38:16Like Teddy Mulcahy?
00:38:19A rival in every sense.
00:38:21Meaning?
00:38:22The whole village knew Teddy carried a torch for Mum.
00:38:25I don't think there was anything in it,
00:38:27but after she'd passed, beating him mattered more than ever.
00:38:31More than being there for his son?
00:38:37I guess.
00:38:44There was no sign of a break-in.
00:38:49The back door was locked, but this door was open.
00:38:52It was when Archie Pollock arrived.
00:38:54It was definitely locked when I was here earlier.
00:38:55I checked.
00:38:56Meaning whoever assaulted Mr. Pollock had a set of keys.
00:39:01Maybe the killer took them from Mr. Worrell at the bowling club.
00:39:06How was this called in?
00:39:08999.
00:39:08No name given.
00:39:09Unusual for a killer to ring 999.
00:39:12Unless whoever did this isn't our killer.
00:39:15Maybe Mr. Pollock just disturbed a burglar stealing a painting.
00:39:19Like, for example, the house clearance expert
00:39:22that was sniffing around the cottage earlier.
00:39:24Speculation, Winter, but let's pay Mr. McManus a visit.
00:39:28I just want to have a quick look round.
00:39:30Archie Pollock said that he came here to pay his respects.
00:39:34Seems like an odd thing to do.
00:39:35Well, especially given that when I saw him earlier,
00:39:37he seemed more concerned about his good friend
00:39:40not being able to referee tomorrow than he was about him being dead.
00:39:43So he didn't come here to pay his respects?
00:39:47Then why was he here?
00:39:48No, I can do the job.
00:40:15It's got to be done by tomorrow afternoon.
00:40:17I'm tied up in the morning.
00:40:20Okay.
00:40:20Okay.
00:40:22I'll do it as soon as I can.
00:40:25Deal.
00:40:27I need a word.
00:40:29The, um, quality pieces
00:40:31that you said Wilf Worrell owned
00:40:33that you were curious about,
00:40:34did that include a painting?
00:40:35Yeah, a few.
00:40:36But one that was definitely worth a few, Bob, yeah.
00:40:38The one in the kitchen?
00:40:39Is that what you were gawping out through the window when I saw you?
00:40:43No.
00:40:44Tell me, if your job is being familiar with objects and their valuations,
00:40:47how much is that painting worth?
00:40:49At auction?
00:40:50Who knows?
00:40:51For insurance purposes,
00:40:53it's got to be in the region of 10k, maybe more.
00:40:54Well, tempting.
00:40:56And it's just been stolen.
00:40:58And whoever stole it assaulted Archie Pollock.
00:41:00I get it.
00:41:02You think I took the painting and assaulted Archie?
00:41:04If I'd stolen it,
00:41:05would I just tell you it was worth 10k?
00:41:07You might if it was worth more.
00:41:09You'd be my guest in check.
00:41:11I'm sure you will anyway.
00:41:12Anything else?
00:41:16If not, I'd like to go home.
00:41:17There is something else, actually.
00:41:19When I asked you where you were last night,
00:41:21you said you were at the pub.
00:41:22I was.
00:41:23You left early.
00:41:24Where did you go?
00:41:25Home.
00:41:27I was tired.
00:41:30Can I go now?
00:41:31Can I go now?
00:41:31Can I go now?
00:42:01Honestly, Jamie, I love it.
00:42:15Good.
00:42:16I was practicing all last night,
00:42:19which kept John and I awake,
00:42:20trying to catch up with Betty on the four fours.
00:42:22I think 73 is the closest we've come to divorce.
00:42:25Right, what do you think?
00:42:26That was pretty good.
00:42:32Oh, here's Einstein.
00:42:33Oh, morning, sir.
00:42:35Jamie's just been telling me all about grinders and tampers.
00:42:37Have you now?
00:42:38Well, I hate to interrupt coffee morning winter,
00:42:40but we have work to do.
00:42:42Are you planning a holiday, sir?
00:42:44Yeah, research, actually.
00:42:47Something Jack Pollock mentioned
00:42:49about starting a new life.
00:42:50Several developments overnight, sir.
00:42:54Harry Peterson doesn't just do residential.
00:42:56He's a partner in a chain of healthcare centres across Europe.
00:42:59Also, he's trying to buy some woodland on the edge of the village,
00:43:03but the application doesn't say what for.
00:43:05The bowling club and woodland.
00:43:06He clearly wants to make his mark.
00:43:08As for the other bidder, H is for Holly Appleby,
00:43:11and she's proving quite elusive.
00:43:12All I can find is a P.O. box in Midsummer Parva.
00:43:15Well, find out when she got the P.O. box.
00:43:18Yeah, we'll do, sir.
00:43:19Also, there was a message on Wilford's answer machine
00:43:22that you need to hear.
00:43:23It was left by Dale McManus two days ago.
00:43:27I'll keep this brief.
00:43:28I'm sick of it, and I've told you loads.
00:43:30Back off roof.
00:43:30You're a dead man.
00:43:34Prophetic, to say the least.
00:43:35Hmm.
00:43:43Get him, Tiger.
00:43:44And, Ollie, if you don't win, it's OK.
00:43:47Right?
00:44:07I heard about the assault.
00:44:08Are you OK?
00:44:10Perfectly fine, thanks to you.
00:44:12Enjoyed last night?
00:44:22Me too.
00:44:24No, I'm tired of hiding.
00:44:26Not that gun.
00:44:28I had a fault this morning.
00:44:31We'll just go somewhere else, start fresh.
00:44:34I'm serious.
00:44:35Are you playing games with me?
00:44:38No.
00:44:41After this, I've got a job to do, then I'm free.
00:44:46What do you say?
00:44:47What are we waiting for?
00:44:48Oi!
00:44:49Dale!
00:44:50Chop, chop!
00:44:51You need to get your eye in.
00:44:54Aren't you, mate?
00:44:55How's the head all right?
00:44:56Is that right?
00:44:57I've got my money on him.
00:44:58Check with Jack Pollock about the rest of the pictures he took.
00:45:03The ones he didn't send us.
00:45:04Yeah, will do, sir.
00:45:06Hello.
00:45:07Come to the toilet.
00:45:08Yeah!
00:45:08Yes, sir.
00:45:11Everything all right?
00:45:12Oh, just worried about Archie, that's all.
00:45:15Tell me, how far do you think he'd go to win today?
00:45:19Oh, as far as needs be.
00:45:21That's what worries me.
00:45:24The medication you prescribed for Mr. Worrell, you mentioned statins and beta blockers.
00:45:30Yeah, that's right.
00:45:31If someone else took them, would they, for example, help with an arm tremor?
00:45:36Hmm.
00:45:37Then they might, although taking someone else's medication is dangerous.
00:45:43And illegal.
00:45:47Oh, my.
00:45:48Their score, refereeing duties to attend to.
00:45:52Yeah, I'll break a leg.
00:45:54Actually, Jenny.
00:45:57Nothing.
00:46:07Ah, Mr. Pollock.
00:46:08Now, those files that you sent us, some of them are missing.
00:46:11Were they?
00:46:12Well, I might have deleted some.
00:46:14Sure, but we'd still like to retrieve them if we can.
00:46:15Okay, can I get them to you later?
00:46:17We can do it now.
00:46:18Just, um, airdrop them to me.
00:46:22Yeah, I'm not sure I know how to do that.
00:46:24I can show you.
00:46:25Have you taken world's meds?
00:46:45Apart from being incredibly irresponsible, you do know that's essentially dumping.
00:46:50Should have given me a prescription, then.
00:46:52I have my reputation to think of.
00:46:53So do I.
00:46:54And mine's worth more than yours.
00:46:56Especially since Wilf told me all about you and Dale.
00:47:01Right.
00:47:01Dale.
00:47:02Heads.
00:47:23All these orbitals, you get to choose ends.
00:47:30We'll do east-west, please.
00:47:32Better lie the land.
00:47:33It'll take more than that.
00:47:35Archie, your Bulls Whisperers gets to choose who stars.
00:47:39They can.
00:47:39Right.
00:47:41Let's get ready.
00:47:41Let's get ready.
00:47:41Let's get ready.
00:47:41Let's get ready.
00:47:43Let's get ready.
00:48:13Let's get ready.
00:48:43You were right to check the photos, by the way.
00:48:59The ones that Jack Pollock didn't manage to send us all have one striking thing in common.
00:49:03They all show Archie Pollock arguing with Wilf Warhol.
00:49:10Yeah.
00:49:11Question is, what about?
00:49:13Let's speak to our bowling legend as soon as this match ends.
00:49:17We're on the deciding end now.
00:49:18I'm going to say this match.
00:49:20You're right.
00:49:25And it's up.
00:49:26You're right.
00:50:57And the winner is...
00:51:13Olly...
00:51:15Yes!
00:51:16Yes!
00:51:17Yes!
00:51:18Yes!
00:51:19Shut the...
00:51:20Absolute world.
00:51:21Ice cold.
00:51:23Come on!
00:51:25She lost it.
00:51:27Woo!
00:51:28I'm out of here, don't you want me?
00:51:30Oh, come on.
00:51:33Come on!
00:51:34Here he comes.
00:51:38What was I meant to do?
00:51:40Look, you did the right thing.
00:51:41You are no daughter-in-law of mine!
00:51:47Don't know why you married her.
00:51:51You speak to Archie Pollock.
00:51:53I'll talk to Dale McMannis.
00:51:55I will do.
00:51:56Will they?
00:51:57Hello.
00:51:58Ready?
00:51:59Oh, yes.
00:52:00Lovely.
00:52:01Lovely.
00:52:02Where is Mr. Pollock Senior?
00:52:03He stormed off.
00:52:04Not out front he didn't.
00:52:05There was a back exit.
00:52:07I think he wanted to avoid people.
00:52:18Where is Mr. Pollock Senior?
00:52:20He stormed off.
00:52:21Not out front he didn't.
00:52:22There was a back exit.
00:52:23I think he wanted to avoid people.
00:52:37He was hiding so well here.
00:52:39Please.
00:52:40That'd be right.
00:52:41I don't think he could be as good as a town.
00:52:43Welcome home.
00:52:44Bye.
00:52:45I'll be here.
00:52:46Bye.
00:52:47Bye.
00:52:48Bye.
00:52:49Bye?
00:52:50Bye.
00:52:51Bye.
00:52:52Bye.
00:52:53Bye.
00:52:55Bye.
00:52:56Bye.
00:52:57Bye.
00:52:59Bye.
00:53:00Bye.
00:53:01Bye.
00:53:02Bye.
00:53:03Bye.
00:53:04Bye.
00:53:05Bye.
00:53:06Bye.
00:53:07Let's go.
00:53:37Harry Peterson found the body, called it in, and then went home.
00:54:05You know, you'll need a word.
00:54:13I'm guessing you're familiar with the identity of the bookman.
00:54:17I am.
00:54:19Dale McManus.
00:54:21Was it an accident?
00:54:23Hard to be sure, but we're checking the crane cabin for prints.
00:54:28I'll need to confirm, but...
00:54:30Preliminary indications suggest cause of death was a combination of blunt trauma to the head
00:54:36and compression of the chest area, leading to new mirth orax.
00:54:41Not pleasant.
00:54:45Noticed anything missing?
00:54:47It's Van.
00:54:48Perhaps the killer took it.
00:54:50I'll put a marker on its circulator trace.
00:54:52What we do have, though, about 30 metres over there,
00:54:55is a large collection of white goods.
00:54:57Fridge, freezer, washing machine, the whole lot.
00:55:00Fly tipping.
00:55:00Mr. Peterson, it was you who found Dale McManus's body, is that right?
00:55:14Yes, that's right.
00:55:15Well, just passing, were you?
00:55:17So soon, after your son's finest hour at the bowling club, seems a bit strange.
00:55:22I'm interested in buying that plot of woodland.
00:55:24I go there sometimes to think over my potential investment.
00:55:27And you just happened across Mr. McManus's body?
00:55:31That's correct, yes.
00:55:32Mr. Peterson, we can confiscate your phone and your computer
00:55:36and find out the real reason you went there,
00:55:38or you could save us some time and just tell us the truth.
00:55:45I was due to meet Jenny Pollock.
00:55:47I'm thinking of building a yoga centre there that she might run.
00:55:52That's very generous of you.
00:55:54Well, not at all. I'm a businessman.
00:55:56She's very good at what she does.
00:55:57It would be a sound investment.
00:56:00I see.
00:56:01Did Mr. McManus have anything to do with this plan?
00:56:05No, nothing at all.
00:56:06I was late getting there after celebrating with Ollie,
00:56:08and when I arrived, he was just lying there.
00:56:13So if you went to meet Mrs. Pollock, why wasn't she there?
00:56:16I don't know.
00:56:18She texted me to meet her there straight after the final.
00:56:21I didn't send a text to Harry.
00:56:23Mr. Peterson definitely received one. We saw it.
00:56:31No text, but you could have deleted it.
00:56:34I didn't.
00:56:36Then someone else must have.
00:56:37Who else would have had access to your phone?
00:56:40Presumably you have a passcode.
00:56:42One, two, three, four.
00:56:44It's guessable.
00:56:45But anyway, I always have my phone on me.
00:56:47The text was sent at 11.24, which is around the time the bowling final was due to start.
00:56:53Did you have your phone on you then?
00:56:55Actually, no.
00:56:57It was in my bag, which I left in the outhouse.
00:56:59So it could have been accessed there by anyone at the bowling match?
00:57:03Yeah, I suppose.
00:57:05This business venture you might be embarking on with Harry Peterson, is it public knowledge?
00:57:11What business venture?
00:57:12I think that answers my question.
00:57:13It's nothing, Jack.
00:57:15Really.
00:57:15Harry's thinking of buying some land and setting up a yoga centre.
00:57:20He has some experience in that area.
00:57:22Health care centres across Europe, etc.
00:57:25Exactly.
00:57:25What's that got to do with you?
00:57:27He asked me if I wanted to run it.
00:57:29What?
00:57:29And you didn't tell me because...
00:57:31Because there's nothing to tell.
00:57:33Look, I'm not going to do it.
00:57:35I don't want to get into business with Harry.
00:57:37It's a non-starter.
00:57:38Mr. Pollock, the photographs that you didn't send us to begin with showed your father and
00:57:48Mr. Worrell arguing.
00:57:49Do you know what about?
00:57:50No, I don't.
00:57:52Was not sending us the photos just an oversight, or did you think they might implicate your father?
00:58:01I was trying to protect him.
00:58:03Because you think he might have killed Mr. Worrell?
00:58:05No, of course not.
00:58:06I just...
00:58:06I was worried, I guess.
00:58:08I knew it didn't look good.
00:58:12I know what they were arguing about.
00:58:15Archie told me about it last night as part of trying to get me to cheat on his behalf.
00:58:21He asked Wilf if he could have some of his meds to Cammy's arm.
00:58:25Wilf said no.
00:58:26So, Mr. Pollock stole them after Mr. Worrell was killed.
00:58:31Where is your father now?
00:58:33He refuses to be under the same roof as me.
00:58:36He's out walking.
00:58:36He'll be back soon.
00:58:38He'll calm down.
00:58:44Archie Pollock isn't going to calm down any time soon.
00:58:47Winning the bulls meant too much to him.
00:58:49Something to do with unresolved grief about the death of his wife.
00:58:53What do you make of Mr. and Mrs. Pollock?
00:58:55I'm not sure if it's just about a yoga centre.
00:58:57I don't see why Mrs. Pollock didn't just tell her husband.
00:59:00Well, maybe she knew he'd be suspicious.
00:59:02I mean, she could be lying to cover her tracks.
00:59:04What about Harry Peterson?
00:59:05Well, we can't rule him out.
00:59:07He wouldn't be the first murderer to pretend to have found the body.
00:59:10We can't rule out Archie Pollock either.
00:59:12They keep digging on the Pollock family, finances, background, everything.
00:59:16Yeah, we'll do.
00:59:17Do you know what Dale was planning on doing after the final?
00:59:19Um, he said he had a job to do, that's all.
00:59:22Well, you needed to talk to him about a message he left on Mr. Worrell's answer machine.
00:59:27You were mentioned in that message.
00:59:29We need to know what it was about.
00:59:33What is it, Mum?
00:59:34Dale and I were seeing each other.
00:59:37So that's where you were two nights ago?
00:59:43The night Mr. Worrell was killed?
00:59:45Yes, me and Dale met up.
00:59:48That would explain why you left the pub early.
00:59:50Why not just say?
00:59:53You could have told me.
00:59:55No, I couldn't.
00:59:56I didn't want it to be public knowledge.
00:59:59Why was that?
01:00:00Chloe's dad ran off with a younger woman.
01:00:03And I was very publicly humiliated and devastated.
01:00:09And even more publicly, a vocal opponent to inappropriately aged relationships.
01:00:17Dale was hardly a babe in arms.
01:00:19He was in his thirties, I'm in my fifties.
01:00:22But also I just, I didn't want my private life to be the talk of the village again.
01:00:28I hated that.
01:00:30So I wasn't comfortable going public until I was completely sure about Dale.
01:00:37And were you?
01:00:39Yes.
01:00:41I was now.
01:00:43But when Mr. Worrell found out about you two, he threatened to blap.
01:00:48Oh, and some.
01:00:49Wilf was old school.
01:00:51Disapproved, loved having something over us.
01:00:54Famous for it.
01:00:56Radio Wilf, we called him.
01:00:58And no secret was safe.
01:00:59He loved seeing my discomfort, reveled in it.
01:01:02He said the only thing he enjoyed more than dealing antiques was dealing in secrets.
01:01:06And Dale?
01:01:08Lovable hot head that he was.
01:01:12He hated seeing me being manipulated.
01:01:16So he left a message telling Wilf to keep quiet.
01:01:21His wording was quite severe.
01:01:25That was just Dale being protective.
01:01:27He went in a bit heavy, didn't mean anything by it.
01:01:31He didn't kill him, if that's what you're thinking.
01:01:34I don't know what you're so worried about, Mum.
01:01:37Not the only one around here misbehaving.
01:01:39Why?
01:01:40Who else is?
01:01:41Well, Harry and Jenny, for starters.
01:01:44Saw them having a lover's tiff out in the woods.
01:01:47They say that they were discussing a joint business venture.
01:01:50Believe me, what I saw was no business talk.
01:01:53I'm surprised.
01:01:54I thought she'd seen him off.
01:01:56Seen him off?
01:01:57In what way?
01:01:58Well, when Harry moved in, he made no secret of the fact that he was attracted to Jenny.
01:02:03Was the talk of the village.
01:02:05Like Jack's mum and Teddy Mokahi all over again.
01:02:08Jenny fobbed him off.
01:02:09At least we thought she did.
01:02:12Something Mr. Peterson said.
01:02:15Well, he can't buy happiness.
01:02:18Maybe he was talking about Jenny.
01:02:20How did Jack Pollock handle all this?
01:02:22Jack's Jack.
01:02:23He just lets these things roll over him.
01:02:33It's, uh, news on our anonymous second bidder, Holly Appleby.
01:02:58She started the P.O. Box four years ago.
01:03:00There's a lot of falls in the ether at the moment.
01:03:04The 4-4 challenge.
01:03:05Four years, Holly Appleby has had her P.O. Box.
01:03:08And it's four years since Libby Trevor moved to the area.
01:03:13Before that, Holly Appleby lived in Asperntallow.
01:03:15She went through a messy divorce.
01:03:17Ended up in the courts.
01:03:18But why open a P.O. Box?
01:03:20To protect her anonymity when she moved on, perhaps.
01:03:23Interestingly, Libby Trevor said she moved here on her own.
01:03:28Hmm.
01:03:29Thinking that maybe Holly Appleby changed her name to Libby Trevor?
01:03:32Possibly.
01:03:33But why wouldn't Assistant Groundswoman put in a bid to buy the bowling club?
01:03:36Because she loves her job.
01:03:38Well, you say that, but if that's the case,
01:03:41what are all these bowling balls still doing out here?
01:03:43Why wouldn't Libby Trevor put them away after the final?
01:03:46Unless she left in a hurry.
01:03:49Busy?
01:03:50Oh.
01:03:51Uh, what?
01:03:52No.
01:03:53Um, no.
01:03:54I was just sorting.
01:03:55Mind if we take a look in the greenhouse?
01:03:56Hmm.
01:03:57Vanilla.
01:03:58Come on.
01:04:06Busy?
01:04:07Oh, uh, well, no, um, no.
01:04:10I was just sorting.
01:04:11Mind if we take a look in the greenhouse?
01:04:18Hmm, vanilla.
01:04:20That's not earth on your hands, is it?
01:04:28It's vanilla-scented coffee.
01:04:31And this is the real Midsomer Mokko.
01:04:35Time to come clean, holly.
01:04:40It is holly, isn't it?
01:04:50Hello?
01:05:03Dale?
01:05:05That you?
01:05:07Don!
01:05:08Dad!
01:05:09Dad!
01:05:10Dad!
01:05:11Dad!
01:05:12Dad!
01:05:12Dad!
01:05:13Dad!
01:05:15Dad!
01:05:16Dad!
01:05:17Dad!
01:05:18Dad!
01:05:19Dad!
01:05:20Cheers, mate. Thank you.
01:05:36Hey, which one do you want to try this time?
01:05:39Something authentic would be good.
01:05:41Okay. What can I hit you with?
01:05:44Colombian, Guatemala?
01:05:46Actually, you can hit me with the truth.
01:05:48And fill me in about Dale McManus blackmailing you.
01:05:52Or I can introduce you to the Causton CID coffee machine,
01:05:55which is about as authentic as you are.
01:06:05My marriage was abusive.
01:06:11But I finally got out of it, and I started over in Midsummer, Deverell.
01:06:15Changing your name and trying to make sure your ex couldn't track you down.
01:06:20Libby started out as Liberty, a sign of my new freedom.
01:06:30All I wanted to do was belong, and I thought that the bowling club would do that.
01:06:37But Mr. Worrell made it difficult.
01:06:39Wolf was a bully.
01:06:42Which wasn't good for me, because it reminded me of...
01:06:46Of what I had fought so hard to escape from.
01:06:52Earlier, you were very complimentary about Mr. Worrell.
01:06:58You said he was like a mentor to you.
01:07:00Why lie?
01:07:02I'm sorry.
01:07:02I guess...
01:07:03I guess I didn't want to speak ill of the dead.
01:07:09I didn't want to have to admit all this.
01:07:11How did you become involved with Midsummer Mocker?
01:07:17I liked Lucas's dream.
01:07:20And I was trying to figure out how to do something positive
01:07:24with a property that I owned in Aspen Tallow.
01:07:28So I thought that if I sold it, I could use the proceeds as collateral.
01:07:33To join forces and help to buy the bowling club.
01:07:36That was the theory.
01:07:40But in practice, it's proving kind of different.
01:07:46That's the thing with dreams.
01:07:48They don't always come true.
01:07:53With Libby's backing, the plan is to turn the bowling club into a coffee emporium.
01:07:58With an outside space for coffee events and music gigs.
01:08:01Emporium.
01:08:02We've hardly won over the hearts and minds so far.
01:08:04We just need time.
01:08:07You can make the best coffee in the world, source the best growers, use the finest beans.
01:08:12But if you don't have anyone to drink it.
01:08:15We've seen your setup in Libby's greenhouse.
01:08:19Everything here is fake.
01:08:22We just needed to reduce costs in order to survive.
01:08:25Until things take off.
01:08:26By importing the cheapest beans that you can find.
01:08:30Probably not ethically sourced.
01:08:31And roasting them yourself.
01:08:32It's not going to be forever.
01:08:34And you assumed that no one would find out.
01:08:38But Dale McManus did.
01:08:40I've accessed his emails.
01:08:42He found out what you and Libby are up to and he's been trying to extort money from you.
01:08:46Money I haven't got.
01:08:47You might if you broke into Wilf Worrell's house and stole a painting.
01:08:52Did Wilf find out your little secret too?
01:08:56What?
01:08:57No.
01:08:58Look, I didn't like Wilf.
01:09:00Wilf didn't like me.
01:09:01But I didn't steal any painting.
01:09:03What do you think I am?
01:09:05A fraud.
01:09:05Someone desperate to keep their dream alive.
01:09:11Dale McManus was found dead earlier today.
01:09:19I swear I don't know anything about that.
01:09:20Lucas Shaw.
01:09:27He's admitted fraud, but he's adamant that he didn't kill anyone.
01:09:30And I think he's telling the truth.
01:09:32He's misguided, but he isn't a killer.
01:09:34What about Libby Trevor?
01:09:35I don't think she's killed anyone either.
01:09:38So who did kill Dale McManus?
01:09:40And why?
01:09:41I wonder if we might be taking Mr. McManus's death too much at face value.
01:09:48Meaning?
01:09:49We know that Harry Peterson received a text message from someone wanting to meet him in the woods.
01:09:56But he was delayed by the match celebrations with his son.
01:10:01So what if Mr. McManus in the woods to dump white goods was just in the wrong place at the wrong time?
01:10:07Harry Peterson was the real type.
01:10:10Indeed.
01:10:11Well, how are we doing with the Pollock family background?
01:10:15Financials are interesting.
01:10:17Accounts are all in order.
01:10:19But you were right to look into the Turks and Caicos.
01:10:21Some years ago, Jack Pollock lost a whole pile of money in an investment there.
01:10:25And apart from that, everything's above board.
01:10:29Interestingly, though, he did the accounts of Teddy Mulcahy.
01:10:33His father's nemesis.
01:10:36And presumably historic accounts, given that Mr. Mulcahy has been dead for years.
01:10:40I guess.
01:10:41I'll check.
01:10:45Mr. Pollock, how can I help?
01:10:52We're on our way.
01:10:55Jack Pollock.
01:10:57He says his father's been kidnapped.
01:10:58Any further word?
01:10:59Anonymous email demanding a quarter of a million pounds as a ransom.
01:11:11We'll try and trace the sender.
01:11:12Four hours to find the money.
01:11:15How am I going to do that?
01:11:16You're not.
01:11:16We don't recommend giving in to ransom demands.
01:11:19And this seems more like an act of financial desperation than anything else.
01:11:22It's easy for you to say it's not your father whose life's in danger.
01:11:24If I had the money, I'd hand it over right this second.
01:11:26Can we borrow against the house?
01:11:28I've already spoken to the bank.
01:11:29There isn't the time.
01:11:30You don't have that kind of money.
01:11:31Maybe we could call him local support.
01:11:33We'd never raise enough.
01:11:34What about Hardy?
01:11:35I could ask him.
01:11:37We could ask him.
01:11:38Thanks.
01:11:40Uniform have triangulated the signal and found your father's phone.
01:11:43It's a roadside on a country lane.
01:11:44We'll head over there.
01:11:45Yeah, in the meantime, please don't do anything without talking to us.
01:11:58I doubt there's much in the way of road cameras here.
01:12:02There might be one at the junction where the road meets the village.
01:12:04We'll get tech onto it urgently, sir.
01:12:12One mobile phone and one discarded bowling ball.
01:12:17Is that blood?
01:12:18Actually, it's coffee.
01:12:21If it's still wet, we could get Winter to do a taste test.
01:12:24Already done it.
01:12:25We'll do a GC-MS test in the lab to make sure,
01:12:28but I did the old PTT, pipette tongue taste.
01:12:35My guess would be powdered instant.
01:12:38I can't just sit here and do nothing.
01:12:56Dad's out there somewhere.
01:12:57It's all my fault.
01:13:05Look, I don't like the idea, but I think we have to do what you suggested.
01:13:10Ask Harry.
01:13:12What about the police?
01:13:14What about them?
01:13:14Harry.
01:13:15It's me.
01:13:15What's the connection between the murders and the kidnapper?
01:13:22Money.
01:13:23Someone is desperate for it.
01:13:24They stole a valuable painting from Mr. Warrell, and now they want a quarter of a million pounds for the return of Archie Pollock.
01:13:29Why?
01:13:29Greed?
01:13:30Debt more like.
01:13:30I think someone got into trouble and made the mistake of asking Mr. Warrell, who you said had money, to borrow some.
01:13:34Mr. Warrell said no because he's an old curmudgeon.
01:13:35Who likes nothing better than dealing in other people's secrets.
01:13:36He threatens to tell the world and so needs to be silenced.
01:13:37He's a kid.
01:13:37He's a kid.
01:13:38He's a kid.
01:13:39Money.
01:13:40Someone is desperate for it.
01:13:41They stole a valuable painting from Mr. Warrell, and now they want a quarter of a million pounds for the return of Archie Pollock.
01:13:46Why?
01:13:47Greed?
01:13:48Debt more like.
01:13:49Debt more like.
01:13:50I think someone got into trouble and made the mistake of asking Mr. Warrell, who you said had money, to borrow some.
01:13:56Mr. Warrell said no because he's an old curmudgeon.
01:13:58Who likes nothing better than dealing in other people's secrets.
01:14:02He threatens to tell the world and so needs to be silenced.
01:14:07You know what's really bugging me about these photos is that they're not shots of Jenny Pollock with Archie and Wilf in the background.
01:14:17The two men are the main subject of the pictures.
01:14:20Meaning that Jack Pollock was curious about the argument, which was just about meds.
01:14:24He said he didn't know what it was about.
01:14:26But maybe he thought they were arguing about something else.
01:14:29Hmm.
01:14:30Well, we checked out Teddy Mulcahy's accounts, and interestingly, so is the taxman.
01:14:35Heavily in debt and still active, we're pending imminent investigation.
01:14:40So the financial clock is ticking and the net closing in.
01:14:43Who would know how to keep a dead man's accounts alive?
01:14:49Jack Pollock would.
01:14:51He hasn't kidnapped his own father, has he?
01:14:54Winter.
01:14:57Ah.
01:15:00Okay.
01:15:01Yeah, thanks.
01:15:02Patrol have sighted Dale McManus's van in a field next to the woods.
01:15:07Let's go.
01:15:08What are you doing here?
01:15:19I could ask you the same question.
01:15:21I asked you not to do anything without talking to us.
01:15:23You don't understand.
01:15:24They said to come alone.
01:15:27To, er, to use Harry's phone to transfer the money.
01:15:30Then and only then would Dad be released.
01:15:32We need to do what they say.
01:15:34Transfer the money.
01:15:35Don't.
01:15:37Look, quick, quick, the time's running out.
01:15:40It is indeed, Mr. Pollock.
01:15:42There are no kidnappers because there was no kidnapping, was there?
01:15:47Someone tell me what the hell is going on.
01:15:49Mr. Pollock has faked his father's kidnapping.
01:15:52Jenny, what, what, what's going on?
01:15:55What are you doing here?
01:15:56I need to know what's happening.
01:15:57Mr. Pollock here, one failed Turks and Caicos investment behind him,
01:16:02needed to do something.
01:16:04Prove himself to his father and provide for his wife.
01:16:07Was Mr. Peterson's arrival in the village the trigger,
01:16:11the dashing international businessman you couldn't compete?
01:16:14Well, you tried to, by making investments under a false name.
01:16:17Your father's nemesis, Teddy Mulcahy.
01:16:20Was that some kind of private joke to get at your father?
01:16:22Why?
01:16:23Because he wasn't there for me.
01:16:30He was never there.
01:16:32After mum died, he was too obsessed with his stupid bowling.
01:16:36So when your fake investments went wrong with the tax man looming,
01:16:42you asked Wilf Worrell to bail you out.
01:16:45What a mistake that was.
01:16:47He said no and started lording it over me.
01:16:50Which explains the photos.
01:16:51You were never worried how those photos looked for your father.
01:16:54No, I saw Wilf having words with Dad.
01:16:57I thought he was telling him about me.
01:16:58And I needed to know for sure.
01:17:00So I went back.
01:17:01But he wasn't.
01:17:02But that just made things worse.
01:17:04So you needed to silence him.
01:17:06And knowing where Mr. Worrell kept the keys,
01:17:08you went to the outhouse.
01:17:10You killed him.
01:17:12And then tried to point the finger at your nemesis, Harry.
01:17:16You thought H-A might be enough.
01:17:18I wasn't thinking straight.
01:17:20I needed money fast.
01:17:21So you stole a painting,
01:17:23accidentally assaulting your father in the process.
01:17:25And then you decide to target Harry direct.
01:17:28You used Jenny's phone to lure him to the woods only.
01:17:32That doesn't work either.
01:17:34Harry's delayed and you kill an innocent man.
01:17:37I didn't mean to kill Dale.
01:17:39He was the wrong man in the wrong place.
01:17:42You're panicked.
01:17:43You're lost.
01:17:44And then it hits you.
01:17:47The solution to everything.
01:17:49Pretend to kidnap your father.
01:17:51Demand a ransom that will clear your debts once and for all.
01:17:55Knowing that your wife would turn to Harry to pay for it
01:17:58before he's killed by kidnappers.
01:18:01Otherwise known as you.
01:18:03You.
01:18:04Jack.
01:18:05It should have been him.
01:18:09Stay back.
01:18:10All right.
01:18:11Help me, God.
01:18:12I'll kill him.
01:18:13Put the knife down, Jack.
01:18:14It won't help.
01:18:15I was so close.
01:18:16To sailing off into the sunset.
01:18:18Just...
01:18:20I wanted us to be happy.
01:18:22I wanted us to be together.
01:18:24I am.
01:18:27We are.
01:18:29No, no.
01:18:30You're having an affair.
01:18:31I'm not.
01:18:33I've seen all your messages.
01:18:35I've seen your secret meetings.
01:18:37The fear of being caught.
01:18:40Because I didn't want you to think this.
01:18:43Right.
01:18:45You're gonna run off with him
01:18:47and live happily ever after.
01:18:48And you know what?
01:18:49I don't blame you.
01:18:51Because I can't compete with him.
01:18:54Look at me.
01:18:56Look at me.
01:18:57And tell me you weren't tempted.
01:19:00Okay, I was.
01:19:03But I didn't give in to it.
01:19:05I stayed true.
01:19:08Because I love you.
01:19:16It's true.
01:19:17She loves you, not me.
01:19:19What have you done, Jack?
01:19:21Your wife doesn't cheat.
01:19:23You just believe the gossip.
01:19:26I did.
01:19:27I was a laughing stock.
01:19:28You're not.
01:19:30Nothing happened.
01:19:32I wanted it to.
01:19:34But Jenny refused.
01:19:36Even when I just wanted to invest in her
01:19:39with a yoga center.
01:19:40She refused that too.
01:19:41She thought it would be inappropriate.
01:19:45You had the dream already.
01:19:47You were living it.
01:19:49You were living it.
01:19:58Oh, God.
01:19:59I'm sorry, Dad.
01:20:12I'm sorry, Dad.
01:20:31Selma.
01:20:33I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
01:20:51Yeah, we do indeed.
01:20:52A bowling match.
01:20:54These were my grandfather's pride and joy.
01:20:58Oh, and we also have to honor Harry Peterson's successful bid
01:21:01to buy the Midsummer Deverell bowling club.
01:21:02He plans to modernize it and keep it as a bowling club
01:21:05for his son to play at.
01:21:07Very good.
01:21:08They had names for their teams, didn't they?
01:21:11They did.
01:21:12There's Archie's Bowls Whisperers and Ollie's Orbitals.
01:21:16And I've been giving some thought to a name for us.
01:21:19And in every sense, you can't beat Barnaby's Bowling Bevies.
01:21:23You're comparing me to a drink.
01:21:25That's something else I'm very fond of.
01:21:27I thought of Fleur Power or the Flying Fleurs.
01:21:34But I'll leave it to Jamie.
01:21:36Winter Milan.
01:21:49There's a little graphic, come on.
01:21:52Hi.
01:21:54Ooh, yeah.
01:21:59Oh, yeah.
01:22:03Oh.
01:22:07I think we did it.
01:22:09Oh, I think we did it.
01:22:18Oh, well.
01:22:20I think the clear winner is...
01:22:25Hang on.
01:22:27That's cheating.
01:22:29Of course it's not.
01:22:30It's a bowl, isn't it?
01:22:31Oh, ho, ho, ho.
01:22:34Help, help, help.
01:22:37Help, help.
01:22:39Help, help, help.
01:22:41Help, help.
01:22:41Help, help.
01:23:09Help, help.
01:23:14Help, help.
01:23:15for you to go out of the safe space.
01:23:17Ah, thank you.
